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. Likewise, very few evidence-based resources are available to address fears about pregnancy and childbirth, even for women who would like to have children. It is often assumed pregnancy should be met with excitement, not with a whole range of emotions.
