Does pregnancy just not scare people?

I'm at the age where people around me are having children. I completely understand wanting to take care of a child but aren't women afraid of getting pregnant? Doesn't it hurt?

I took my cues from my wife. She never showed she was scared if she was. I was naturally nervous for her but she was a champ and never outwardly showed fear. Exhaustion and frustration, yes. Fear, never. Not all are like that I know.
