The researchers looked at about 6,000 families in Bristol, followed by 14,000 babies and found that pregnant or anxious women are 60% more likely to have a baby with asthma.

About 16% of children with asthma have a mother or excessive anxiety during pregnancy.

Professor John Henderson, from the research group, said: "Perhaps the natural reaction to stress causes the body to make many hormones that can affect growing babies and in turn their immune systems are Children's development has been developed later. "

The study also found that left-handed children performed poorer tests than right-handed children, and women who ate fish oil while pregnant had more eye-catching babies.
