Study links
pregnancy
problems
with stress
By Tammy Hedgpeth
Reporter
dy
events such as death of a family
member or job loss to the increased
risk of complications in childbirth
for a pregnant woman and her un
born child.
Ruth Tucker, associate professor
at the University of Texas Medical
Branch School of Nursing at Gal
veston, examined the relationship
among stress, pregnancy complica
tions and a personality conflict
called “hardiness” in a study of 234
women who recently had babies.
“If people are hardy, they feel
they have some control over their li
fe,” Tucker says.
She says three characteristics
make a “hardy” individual:
• The individual is committed to
her responsibilities.
• The individual believes she
has control over her life.
• The individual sees change as
a challenge rather than as a threat.
When an individual encounters a
stressful situation, hardiness traits
help alleviate the effects of stress,
she says.
Tucker hoped to find that har
diness made a difference in
women during pregnancy.
For example, women with har
diness would have fewer complica
tions than women without the trait.
However, this didn’t prove to be
true.
Instead, she discovered that
women who have a high stress level
tend to have more complications
with their pregnancies.
“I didn’t narrow it down to spe
cific complications,” Tucker says. “I
was looking at complications in gen
eral: infections, high blood pres
sure, premature labor and devel
opment of diabetes.”
Women without the “hardy” trait
can deal with stress through various
means just as effectively as women
who have the trait by developing
coping skills to solve problems,
Tucker says.

“One of the biggest aids for any
body who has high stress levels is a
good support system, such as family
and friends,” she says.
Mary Walraven, a certified child
birth educator from Bryan, agreed
that a support system is important.
“Pregnant women must commu
nicate with whoever causes the
stress,” Walraven says. “When
women have a positive outlook,
fewer problems occur.”
Constant stress from poor social
situations also affects pregnancy,
she says, citing constant depression
as an example.
“We try to help women deal with
stress and problems,” Walraven
says. “Relaxation helps by provid
ing good health for the baby.”
The biggest stress comes from
anticipating birth, she says.
In her Lamaze class, Walraven
reduces the fears of birth by en
couraging women to talk about
their fears.
