The purpose of this review is to describe the relationship between prenatal overexposure to maternal HPA activity and adverse postnatal effects in human offspring. First, we will discuss the function of the HPA axis during pregnancy and the theory underpinning its role in offspring outcomes will be described. Following this, research examining the relationship between maternal HPA activity and offspring birth and development will be outlined. We will conclude with a discussion of the implications for future research.
