Pregnancy Info HOME

Glad you asked. I've done some research into this topic. Google "Kristina Hofberg". She did some excellent research in 2000 or 2001. If you google "tokophobia" you'll be led to a study of women who participated in a counseling program. The women who finished the program did well--I think it was about 70% success rate. But, there was a huge number of women who dropped out of the study, which was noted by the researchers as a negative. The problem seems to be getting pregnant women who are tokophobic to stay in counseling rather than having elective csections, and of course, preventing women from having abortions rather than going through pregnancy in the first place. No one has been able to estimate the % of women who either permanently avoid pregnancy or have abortions. Unfortunately, for the very bad cases, suicide has resulted. I recommend reading the articles and studies on the web. Very interesting.
