Plain-language summary

Fear of childbirth, or what has historically been called tokophobia, is often described as a severe fear of birth and pathological fear of childbirth. The reasons for fear of childbirth are stated as biological reasons, psychological reasons and lack of social support. However, it is still not possible to clearly explain the reasons for the fear of childbirth in pregnant women and the risk factors affecting them. The reasons for the fear of childbirth and the affecting factors have not been fully explained.
