An anxiety attack, people may feel fearful, apprehensive, may feel their heart racing or feel short of breath, but it's very short lived, and when the stressor goes away, so does the anxiety attack.

Panic attack on the other hand doesn't come in reaction to a stressor. It's unprovoked and unpredictable. And during a panic attack the individual is seized with terror, fear, or apprehension. They may feel that they're going to die, or lose control or have a heart attack. They have a host of physical symptoms which may include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea. And in addition to these terrifying panic attacks, people start worrying about having the next one. So there's a lot of what's called anticipatory anxiety.

Hope this helps!

This is all a case-by-case situation. However, it appears the mom-to-be is experiencing placenta previa where the placenta covers the cervix.

An ultrasound both abdominal and intravaginal ultrasounds to determine the cause of the bleeding and develop their diagnosis.

You'll start an IV on the mom-to-be for fluid replacement and have open access for rapid medication push incase she starts to decline fast. Then, if the baby is far enough within the gestation, they'll usually do a cesarean section to deliver the baby.

Why is it important to dress in layers during the winter?

Llana [10]

The answer to this question is all of the above. Why? Well, see below for an explanation!

It is important to dress in layers during the winter because first off, snow is liquid but is maintained in a solid and fluffy state due to low temperatures. That being said, the snow can melt in your hands or anywhere on your body if you do not wear the appropriate clothing. Layering down in clothing while it is wintertime can prevent snow from getting your body wet. It is also important to dress down in layers during wintertime because layers of clothing trap your body’s heat. All humans’ bodies give off internal heat and when you dress in layers, that heat is sustained within your clothing so you stay warm. Lastly, layering your clothing during wintertime can help prevent frostbite and hypothermia. Frostbite is a condition that is most common during the winter where your skin and its tissue freeze. If any of your body parts are exposed, it is likely that you could get frostbite. Hypothermia is a dangerous condition in which your body temperature significantly drops. If this continually happens without any treatment or address of the situation, you could potentially freeze to death.

Your final answer: Because all of these answers have correct explanations for why it is important to dress in layers during wintertime, your answer is “all of the above.” If you need help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
