events, or situations.
B Panic disorders include episodes of intense apprehension, fear, and terror.
Symptoms may manifest themselves as palpitations, chest pain, choking, or
smothering.
C In PTSD, women perceive childbirth as a traumatic event. They have nightmares
and flashbacks about the event, anxiety, and avoidance of reminders of the
traumatic event.
