Parturiphobia is an intense fear of childbirth. Symptom-wise, it can be as severe as a Social Phobia or other severe Anxiety disorder.
Parturiphobia has many causes, but all have similar factors. A woman may have:
- heard that the pain of childbirth is uncontrollable
- heard about "difficult labor" from another woman
- seen television programs that depict horrible births
- had a mother or sister who had a difficult birth
The woman may fear:
- that she, or her baby, will die in childbirth
- pain without relief
- loss of control over her body
- losing control of her emotions
Psychological therapy can help. Of course, the woman should begin therapy well before her due date. Hypnosis or practice imagery can help walk a woman through each fear and plan ways to reduce her panic.
Labor and Delivery will occur -- so it is important that the woman has received adequate help in the months before, and continues to have support during labor and delivery.
