Hyrtl's anastomosis, a transverse inter-arterial connection between the two umbilical arteries near their placental insertion, plays a vital role in maintaining hemodynamic stability in fetal circulation. Despite being a consistent finding in most term placentas, its functional role and clinical significance are underappreciated in perinatal medicine. This review explores the anatomy, physiological function, diagnostic assessment, and clinical implications of Hyrtl's anastomosis, with emphasis on its protective role in ensuring balanced placental perfusion and mitigating hemodynamic stress in compromised pregnancies.

Objective: To examine whether within-person changes in depressive symptoms across pregnancy and postpartum were linked to child NA, and whether infant sleep duration moderated these effects.
