Tokophobia is a morbid fear – a mental disorder related to fear of a specific situation. A woman with tokophobia suffers from an extreme fear of childbirth, while this panic fear can be primary or secondary. In the first case, it is a fear in women without experience of childbirth, which arises during adolescence. Secondary tokophobia arises during a traumatic experience with childbirth, which creates a negative association in a woman.\r
