Did Khloe Kardashian Go Into Stress-Induced Early Labor? Fertility Experts Weigh In Earlier today, Khloe Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl on the heels of controversy surrounding her relationship with boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Becoming a mother is supposed to be a blissful time,but with so much stress in her personal life, it must have been a difficult and emotional few days for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star. We asked a fertility expert to weigh in on how stress might affect pregnancy, especially towards the final stages. But Bat-Sheva Lerner Maslow, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist at Extend Fertility clinic in New York City, tells Health its highly unlikely that one single stressful experience would induce labor. There are many stories of strength and resilience with perfectly healthy maternal and infant outcomes, she says,explaining that shes seen this resilience firsthand when participating in deliveries of women whod experienced terrible loss or hardship during their pregnancies.
