As someone with tokophobia, I find this deeply disturbing.

Tokophobia is a significant fear of childbirth.[1] It is a common reason why some women request an elective cesarean section.[3] Factors often include a fear of pain, death, unexpected problems, injury to the baby, sexual problems and a lack of self-belief of the capacity to birth a child.[4] Treatment may occur via counselling.[1] It is a type of specific phobia. In 2000, an article published in the British Journal of Psychiatry described the fear of childbirth as a psychological disorder that has received little attention and may be overlooked.[5]

Is it or do you just want it to be? Not saying Wikipedia is wrong but it very clearly states it’s a fear of childbirth not pregnancy…
