Link Between Maternal Impulsivity and Infant Heart Rate Variability: A Key Indicator of Health

November 28, 2023

According to reports, researchers have found that babies born to impulsive and combative mothers have less variability in their heart rate. Medical experts believe that heart rate variability is a sign of good health, as it indicates the body's ability to adapt to changes and regulate itself. However, if the heart cannot adjust to external changes, the risk of heart disease or infection increases. Medical professionals have already discovered that adults with low heart rate variability are more likely to develop heart disease.

Medical experts state that during pregnancy, a woman's hormones undergo changes, combined with the psychological burden, inevitably resulting in emotional reactions such as pessimism and irritability. As anger can pose health risks to the baby, it is particularly important for pregnant women to control their emotions.
