BACKGROUND Preterm birth and other pregnancy complications have been linked to maternal stress during pregnancy. We investigated the association between maternal exposure to severe life events and risk of preterm birth. METHODS Mothers of all singleton live births (n = 1.35 million births) in Denmark between 1 January 1979 and 31 December 2002 were linked to data on their children, parents, siblings and partners. We defined exposure as death or serious illness in close relatives in the first or second trimesters or in the 6 months before conception. Log-linear binomial regression was used to estimate the effect of exposure on preterm birth, very preterm birth and extremely preterm birth. RESULTS There were 58 626 (4.34%) preterm births ( CONCLUSIONS Our population-based cohort study suggests that maternal exposure to severe life events, particularly in the 6 months before pregnancy, may increase the risk of preterm and very preterm birth.
