Abstract
Prenatal behavior is often used to predict fetal health. In humans, in-utero movements such as kick-counts and ultrasound assessment of fetal movement are routinely performed for fetal reassurance. Physical stress such as umbilical cord occlusion has direct effects upon fetal behavior and health. Little is known about prenatal exposure to environmental stressors and effects on fetal behavior. Fetal programming of neurologic responses may be influenced by events occurring during prenatal life. We developed a method to represent chronic, intermittent environmental stress in a rat model with the use of ultrasound as a non-invasive method for observation of fetal behavior.
