It's also a fear of pregnancy.
Is it or do you just want it to be? Not saying Wikipedia is wrong but it very clearly states it's a fear of childbirth not pregnancy...
I can imagine people afraid of being pregnant because of the fear of childbirth.
Complications can also occur during pregnancy. Such as losing teeth.
It is.

It's just more common, I guess, for people to be afraid of childbirth. Or more common for people to be able to understand that fear.
