OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of the timing of stress during pregnancy on emotional responses and birth outcome. We hypothesized that as pregnancy advanced women would become increasingly resistant to the adverse effects of stress, and so early stress would have more profound effects than later stress.STUDY DESIGN: Forty pregnant women who had experienced an earthquake during pregnancy or shortly afterward were identified. Using regression analyses we determined whether the timing of the earthquake was related to an affective response to this event and to length of gestation.RESULTS: The earthquake was rated as more stressful when ii occurred early in pregnancy compared with late in pregnancy, and postpartum ratings were similar to first-trimester ratings (r(quad) = 39; P
