RESUMEN
What is already known on this subject?Research has shown that experiencing adversity during childhood is associated with higher levels of stress during pregnancy. Early life adversity has also been associated with all Big Five personality traits and personality has been implicated as an important factor contributing to psychosocial functioning and well-being.What this study adds?Findings from the current study indicated that experiences of childhood adversity were associated with perceived stress during pregnancy, with significant indirect effects through the personality dimensions of neuroticism and conscientiousness. That is, mothers with high ACEs reported higher neuroticism and lower conscientiousness, and in turn, reported experiencing high levels of perceived stress during pregnancy.
