Cortisol increases naturally in pregnant women during  pregnancy, but excessive cortisol levels in early pregnancy can  negatively impact fetal development, especially if cortisol increases  over prolonged periods and especially when cortisol levels are usually  lower (e.g. at night).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nIn pregnant women with depressive symptoms, the increase in total \ncortisol levels between the first and second trimester of pregnancy is \nvery pronounced.

However, these symptoms could be related to a deregulation of\n the cortisol\u2019s circadian rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This depressive symptomatology can cause alterations in the first and\n second trimester of the pregnancy. \u201cPregnant women cannot reduce enough\n the cortisol levels at night, when they should be significantly lower\u201d,\n says \u00c1gueda Castro, first signing author of the article and member of \nthe Department of Evolutionary Biology, Ecology and Environmental \nSciences of the UB and researcher of the CIBERSAM group. \u201cThese \nconditions could affect the foetus, sensitizing its own stress response \nsystem \u2014 the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HHA) axis \u2014 or by direct \ntoxicity on neurons\u201d, she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study focused on a cohort of 112 women in their first pregnancy \n(ages 18-40). During the pregnancy, the researchers analyzed, each \ntrimester, the cortisol circadian rhythm, stress perception and the \nmothers\u2019 depressive symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our results show the importance of assessing subclinical symptoms of\n depression, or situations of high psychosocial stress, in mothers \nthroughout their pregnancy and not only in the moments closest to \nchildbirth&#8221;, says Professor Lourdes Fa\u00f1an\u00e1s (UB-IBUB-CIBERSAM), \ncoordinator of the study. She adds: &#8220;This is relevant even if there is \nno previous history of psychiatric illness or depression in mothers&#8221;.<br>\n<br>\n\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bIn the study, funded by a CIBERSAM intramural project \n(SAM15-20PI12\/SAM18PI01), the participation of experts Paz Garc\u00eda \nPortilla and Lorena de La Fuente-Tom\u00e1s (CIBERSAM group at the Faculty of\n Medicine of the University of Oviedo) also stands out; as well as the \nparticipation of Elisenda Eixarch and F\u00e0tima Crispi (BCNatal and CIBERER\n group at Hospital Cl\u00ednic\/Hospital Sant Joan de D\u00e9u\/IDIBAPS) and Nerea \nSan Mart\u00edn (UB-IBUB-CIBERSAM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reference article: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Castro-Quintas, \u00c1.; Eixarch, E.; San Martin-Gonzalez, N. et al. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0306453023009083\">\u00abDiurnal cortisol throughout pregnancy and its association with maternal depressive symptoms and birth outcomes\u00bb<\/a>. <em>Psychoneuroendocrinology,<\/em> December 2023.
