Hi Gang,
Back again! Still trying to work through stuff but have another interesting thought that I would really appreciate all your thoughts on. Have any of you heard of Tocophobia which is the fear of pregnancy or childbirth?
I'd always wondered why the thought of being pregnant had never appealed to me and the thought of being told that I was pregnant is enough to scare me off sex! Well not enjoy it as much anyway.
Funnily enough, I've searched on various websites and cannot seem to find a name for a fear of parenthood which surely there must be a name for? There is even a fear of sperm!!! It's called Spermaphobia - I actually think I have that too but it's linked to my Tocophobia! Hee hee.
I'd would be very interested to hear what you intelligent ladies and gents think about this fear and if any of you feel the same way. I'd have been talking to my husband about if push came to shove, I would probably adopt a child if he wanted one that badly but that I was very certain that I didn't want my own and now I think this could be the reason why. Well one of the many reasons why in any case. mentioned why I'd prefer not to be a parent.
Any thoughts please? Also, if anyone knows the name of parenting phobia, that would be handy too. Hope you're all going well.
Best wishes
