All Kayleigh has ever dreamed of is becoming a mum, but she suffers from tokophobia – an intense psychological fear of pregnancy and childbirth. She is so terrified that she even avoids her pregnant friends and takes at least one pregnancy test per week. Hubby Gary is supportive, but cyberbullies have targeted Kayleigh, telling her to ‘get over it’ and saying she doesn’t deserve help from a surrogate mother. In desperation, Kayleigh applied to adopt a child through her council – but she was rejected due to her phobia. Now Kayleigh feels like her only chance to be a mother has been taken away from her. She said: “All I want is to be given a chance.”
Kayleigh’s story appeared on the Mail and Metro Online.
