being uncomfortable around pregnant women

I feel that too, don't worry, you're totally normal. There are many others who feel this way, too.

The whole idea of pregnancy makes me very anxious and uncomfortable, and being around pregnant women or seeing pregnant bellies is worse for me. I have tokophobia - its not as extreme as some people, but it's enough to make me feel sick sometimes.

When my aunt was pregnant, she kept telling me to touch her belly and feel him kicking. Me being someone who can't say no to anything, I did it every time. It made me feel a little bit sick from the anxiety it caused me, but of course I couldn't tell anybody about it. Thankfully this sub lets me open up about stuff like this.
