There’s a new study that suggests early pregnancy stress can be tied to a man’s future infertility. 1 / 5

Men are more likely to experience fertility problems later on in their lives if they had a mother who experienced a stressful pregnancy or a stressful life event during the early stages of their pregnancy. 2 / 5

A team of researchers looked at two groups: men who had mothers that had stress-free pregnancies and men who had mothers who had stressful pregnancies. 3 / 5
