Spontaneous preterm birth disproportionately affects communities marginalized by racism and socio-economic disadvantage. Maternal stress is a well-established risk factor for spontaneous preterm birth and is more prevalent in marginalized communities. Yet, maternal stress remains underutilized as a target for clinical intervention. In this review, we draw from ecological, evolutionary, and developmental (eco-evo-devo) biology, Black feminist theory, and reproductive justice to center the margins of those communities most burdened by both maternal stress and preterm birth. In doing so, we re-frame the importance of maternal stress mitigation in spontaneous preterm prevention. Through the lens of stress-induced developmental plasticity, environmental stressors may shorten gestation through evolutionarily conserved maternal-fetal-placental signaling pathways. Two features of this process are particularly relevant to clinical care: first, stress may impact gestational length in a dose-dependent manner; second, its effects may be reversible. Reducing maternal stress may be a highly feasible clinical opportunity to tangibly reduce spontaneous preterm birth and increase birth equity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37085,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology: X","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 100409"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144261910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
