In trimester 3 the negative relation between anxiety and birth weight of −.209 failed to reach significance ( p = 0.070).
As seen in Table 1 there were significant correlations between birth weight and cortisol in the first trimester and borderline significant correlations in the second but not in the third trimester.
Maternal cortisol was significantly inversely related to birth weight in trimester 1 ( r = − 0.322) and with borderline significance in trimester 2 ( r = − 0.229).
