Brief Summary  

Pregnancy and delivery is a natural phenomenon in women life and becoming a mother is one of the most important achievement in women’s life. Pregnant women may experience fear, anxiety, discomfort, worry, depression or even fear of dying when thinking about her deliveryMost of the time women who are getting pregnant for the first time experiences stress and anxiety which is a pathological fear of childbirth. Because of this some women may chose cesarean section over normal delivery. Fear of childbirth in multiparous women can be because of previous traumatic experiences from the delivery. Previous literature mainly focus on the prevalence of Tokophobia among primigravida or multigravida women. In India, till date there is no literature available which find out the prevalence of Tokophobia among pregnant female opting for Normal Vaginal delivery  and Cesarean -section. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out the prevalence of Tokophobia among pregnant women electing   for Normal Vaginal Delivery  and Cesarean-Section and to prevent the fear of childbirth.
