Many women assume that if they avoid pregnancy, tokophobia won’t impact their lives.
But that’s not how this particular fear works.
Unhealed tokophobia doesn’t just disappear when you decide not to have kids.
Instead, it can show up in unexpected and disruptive ways — in your body, your mindset, your relationships, and your overall sense of safety in the world.
In this video, I break down how unprocessed tokophobia can shape your life in ways you might not even realise.

Tokophobia Isn’t Just About Pregnancy — It’s About Fear
Tokophobia is often dismissed as just “being scared of birth.”
But it’s actually a deep-rooted fear response that can leak into other areas of life.
Here’s how:
1. It Can Create an Unexplained Fear of the Unknown
Many women with tokophobia develop a general fear of uncertainty, change, or things they can’t control.
- Feeling panicked or anxious in medical settings?
- Struggling with fears around health, intimacy, or body changes?
- Avoiding conversations about birth, even when it doesn’t involve you?
This could all be connected to unhealed tokophobia.
2. It Can Lead to Unexpected Anxiety or Phobias
Because tokophobia is often linked to trauma, safety, and control, it can fuel other fears that don’t seem obviously related:
- Medical Anxiety – Avoiding doctors, hospitals, or any discussions about medical procedures
- Fear of Physical Changes – Discomfort with bodily changes, weight gain, or anything that feels “out of control”
- Fear of Commitment or Long-Term Planning – Struggling with decisions that have a long-term impact (because pregnancy represents the ultimate irreversible decision)
3. It Can Impact Your Relationships
Unhealed tokophobia can create tension in relationships, even if you’re not planning on having kids.
💔 If you’re in a relationship, you might avoid conversations about the future — especially if your partner wants children.
💔 If you’re already a parent, lingering fears can affect how you approach parenting, medical decisions, or future pregnancies.
💔 If you’re single, you might unconsciously avoid relationships where parenthood could come up as an expectation.
Fear has a way of shaping our decisions — often without us realising it.
