Can trauma induce DID in a fetus?

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is primarily developed in response to severe trauma experienced during early childhood, particularly before the age of five. While a fetus cannot experience trauma in the same way as a postnatal child, maternal stress and trauma during pregnancy can impact fetal development. However, the direct induction of DID in a fetus is not supported by current psychological understanding; DID requires conscious processing and coping mechanisms that develop after birth.
