Abstract

Certain forms of prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) are risk factors for preterm birth and low birthweight. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, two components of PNMS, objective hardship and subjective distress, may be differentially associated with birth outcomes. We aimed to determine the association of pandemic-related objective hardship and subjective distress with birth outcomes and we explored moderating factors of objective hardship.
