ABSTRACT

The third trimester is a critical period for maternal transition from pregnancy to postpartum. Its emotional state not only affects maternal physical and mental health but also profoundly shapes early neurodevelopment and emotional regulation in offspring through the "fetal programming" mechanism. This review systematically examines the physiological, psychological, and social dimensions of emotional regulation during the third trimester from a socio-psychobiological interaction perspective, aiming to provide insights for improving maternal and infant health outcomes.
