Stress experienced by a pregnant woman as a result of arguments with or violence by a partner can adversely affect her unborn child''s mental development, according to recent research. Professor Vivette Glover, of Imperial college, London, says: "We found that if the woman had a partner who was being emotionally cruel to while pregnant it had a really significant effect on baby''s future development. The father has a big part to play."
