She seems remarkably calm. Or maybe they've got her doped up, hard to tell with those eyes. Love her demurely crossed legs.

As someone with tokophobia, I find this deeply disturbing.

[-] K4mpfie@feddit.org 12 points 2 weeks ago

Tokophobia is a significant fear of childbirth.[1] It is a common reason why some women request an elective cesarean section.[3] Factors often include a fear of pain, death, unexpected problems, injury to the baby, sexual problems and a lack of self-belief of the capacity to birth a child.[4] Treatment may occur via counselling.[1] It is a type of specific phobia. In 2000, an article published in the British Journal of Psychiatry described the fear of childbirth as a psychological disorder that has received little attention and may be overlooked.[5]

It's also a fear of pregnancy.

[-] K4mpfie@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

Is it or do you just want it to be? Not saying Wikipedia is wrong but it very clearly states it's a fear of childbirth not pregnancy...

I can imagine people afraid of being pregnant because of the fear of childbirth.

[-] Shou@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Complications can also occur during pregnancy. Such as losing teeth.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

It is.

It's just more common, I guess, for people to be afraid of childbirth. Or more common for people to be able to understand that fear.
