Stress measures cortisol and skin conductance measures before and after fetal MRI depending on stress management strategies. a) Cortisol levels immediately before (pre) and after (post) fetal MRI examination for women grouped by characteristics of their stress management strategies. All cortisol levels were reduced after MRI examination. b) Skin conductance levels (SCL, in μs) of the first 5 minutes (t1) and last 5 minutes (t2) of fetal MRI examination of women grouped by characteristics of their stress management strategies. Women with above average strategies were able to relax the most during the MRI examination.
