25 Feb New Programme about Pregnancy Nightmares on ABC

Posted at 10:45h in RADIO by

My new documentary, about the phenomenon of nightmares during pregnancy, is now available online here.

‘Pregnancy is supposed to be all happiness and humming lullabies — well, that’s what society and advertisers tell us, but the reality for most women is very different. It is estimated one in five women suffer from tokophobia, a pathological fear of giving birth. Many expectant mothers also report an increase in nightmares and bad dreams; this programme looks at why this might be, and at the taboos and expectations surrounding pregnancy and childbirth.’
