Is it normal to have a phobia of childbirth?

No: Phobias in and of themselves are not normal. If this is significantly impacting your life consider tx. For Phobias consider Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavior Therapy, Psychotherapy, Exposure therapy (imaginal exposure therapy, systematic desensitization, flooding, prolonged exposure therapy, in vivo exposure therapy) or hypnosis as possible options. Psyche meds are sometimes used.
