Is it normal to be scared of pregnancy?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Plenty of people feel scared of pregnancy, whether they’re sexually active, thinking about having kids, or sure they don’t want them.

Pregnancy can bring up big worries about your body, health, responsibility, or how your life might change. You can feel that way even if you want children someday—or even if pregnancy isn’t currently a possibility for you.

If the fear is tied to sex, getting clear information about contraception and what to do if something goes wrong may help you feel more in control. And if the fear is taking over your thoughts or stopping you from doing things you want to do, it’s okay to talk it through with a healthcare professional or therapist.
