Finding out you are expecting can be exciting and terrifying in equal measure. Fears, phobias and anxieties can start to surface whether you are the mum-to-be or the dad, and these emotions can crop up whether you are expecting your first baby or your third!
General anxieties about pregnancy are common and straightforward to treat, however there is also a level of anxiety that can affect expectant mums which feels very intense and intrusive. It causes extreme anxiety right from the early signs that conception has taken place and is known as tokophobia. It is very debilitating and can undermine a couple's relationship. The good news is that fears and phobias can be overcome with therapy and make a world of difference to your life. To find out how you can free yourself from unnecessary fears and phobias click here.
