Terrified of Pregnancy or Birth? You’re Not Alone
Tokophobia is real — and it’s treatable
Does This Sound Like You?
“The thought of being pregnant fills me with dread.”
“I’m scared I’ll lose control, panic, or be trapped in something I can’t escape.”
“I’m not even sure if I want kids… or if it’s just the fear talking.”
“I can’t even look at a pregnant woman without anxiety kicking off.”
If this feels familiar, it’s very likely you’re struggling with tokophobia — the intense fear of pregnancy and birth.
And while it might feel rare or shameful, it’s more common than you think.
Most people just don’t talk about it.
You don’t have to just “hope for the best.”
You can take control and feel calm, confident, and ready for birth.
Where to Start: Your Next Steps
What Is Tokophobia, Really?
Tokophobia is not just birth nerves.
It’s not something you can just “get over.”
It’s an anxiety disorder that can affect every part of your life:
- Your relationships
- Your mental health
- Your plans for the future
- Your sense of safety in your own body
And yet… hardly anyone has heard of it, let alone understands it.
Even therapists. Even doctors. Even your closest people.
That’s why this space exists.
Because I do understand it.
I had it. I healed it.
And I’ve helped hundreds of women do the same.
Good News: You Can Heal From Tokophobia
Most people will tell you to cope. To “work around it.”
Maybe try some therapy, CBT, EMDR, or hypnobirthing.
But here’s the truth:
None of those approaches were created with tokophobia in mind.
They scratch the surface.
Tokophobia lives deeper. It lives in the subconscious, emotional, and nervous system level.
And that’s where it needs to be healed.

“I had ZERO FEAR during birth. I was not scared at all. I completely trusted in the process.
I did the entire labor (with back labor) AND they removed my placenta WITHOUT ANY DRUGS.
I know that all of the preparation I did helped me get through it… and to have literally no fear the entire time was wild.
Thank you so much for being such an important part of this journey… I wouldn’t have been able to get pregnant and give birth without you.
And now I have a sweet baby girl here in my arms… I love her more than I thought possible, I’m so grateful for her.
Thank you for helping me to become a mother!“
