FOETUSES are more likely to show left-handed movements in the womb when their mothers are stressed, according to a new study.
Researchers at Durham and Lancaster universities say their findings are an indicator that maternal stress could have a temporary effect on unborn babies, adding that their research highlights the importance of reducing stress during pregnancy.
However, the researchers emphasised that their study was not evidence that maternal stress led to fixed left-handedness in infants after birth.
