Traumatic anticipation of childbirth and disordered eating during pregnancy.

Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study focusing on anticipated traumatic reactions and ED in pregnant women. While some women evidenced FOC and pretraumatic stress symptoms, two different clusters, one with FOC and one with pretraumatic stress, were found. These findings suggest that, while sharing similarities, these constructs are different. PMID: 32189512 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
