A member asked:

Is primary tokophobia a known condition to obstetricians? r women with the condition respected? are they forced in vaginal deliveries to avoid a c sec

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a known term: I haven't heard the term, but based on the word I assume it is fear of contractions. Vaginal births cannot be forced, they happen spontaneously; cesarean sections are what can become forced (i.e. Can only occur with the intervention of another)
