What Is Tokophobia?

Western Society, Childfree by Choice, and Tokophobia A societal assumption that pregnancy and parenthood are part of the natural life cycle shrouds both the tokophobia population and the childfree-by-choice community. Because of this assumption, people choosing not to be parents often feel misunderstood or excluded.

It is often assumed pregnancy should be met with excitement, not with a whole range of emotions.
