Since there is such a wide variety in the way it manifests, neither will be easy. The second is, given its complexity, figuring out effective interventions which ideally are evidence-based.

They discussed hypotheses for why a woman might fear childbirth and there’s a wide variety of reasons. The two authors observed that triggers for this fear can come from a number of situations.
