Is It Possible To Be Addicted To Pregnancy?
|
I just had my third child 4 weeks ago. I love all my children so much, I can't help but just want more. When I'm thinking about it though, I don't know if it so much that I want more children as that I want to be pregnant again. Pregnant women are treated so well, the attention is fantastic. Is is possible that I am addicted to pregnancy?

Maybe not, it's just that you are children loving and a good and unselfish individual. Your children must be so lucky to have as their Mom. As far as I am concerned, having a child is a selfless act, because we mothers always forget ourselves in terms of our child sake. Usually we took care of them before own self. We always think them over us. As such we buy them things rather than us. We love them more than us.. It's true but its amazing! I know your are one of them and thanks God I belong to unselfless mom, too.

I don't know if there is a possibility of become addicted to pregnancy. I think is more probable that you were addicted to the attention the others give to you. Maybe you need affection. And it's difficult to believe when you say you can help. I don't want to be rude, but I think you may need to visit a psicologist.

many women do feel like same you are feeling. I am telling you the story of one of my friend: pparently, some women are addicted to pregnancy, at least according to Women's Health Magazine. I probably wouldn't have found out about my affliction had it not been for my friend, and mother of five, Meagan Francis' report on the "illness." The idea behind the theory is that rather than have a job, go to school or go to the gym, I prefer the perks of pregnancy. You know - the back rubs I get nightly from my husband, the ice cream and pickles he goes to get at 2 a.m. in a snow storm. Dream on.
The only perks of pregnancy I get are hours upon hours in a waiting room, some really nasty physical side effects and having to explain to some relative stranger that I do know what causes it. Oh, and don't forget about labor. I get to do that again too. Because my last one was a ten pounder - it was a piece of cake! Seriously, I don't need to fulfill some missed opportunity or basic void from my own childhood. I'm not reproducing wildly with reckless abandon.
Here's my little secret, and people around me have finally figured it out, I'm not going to tell you when I'm pregnant. Because, unlike the article suggests, I hate it when people want to ask me about my pregnancy. I don't want you touching my belly. I want to be left alone. I don't feel sexy, I feel mean. (Ask my husband...) There aren't late night ice cream parties. No nightly back rubs, no matter how much I beg. Pregnancy isn't some sparkly, romantic princess fairy tale for me.
My take on it is that if you want to have kids, great. If you want to have more than two and your can handle it, even better. I'm not one to call names and point fingers about family size in any direction. But to be told that I have an addiction for trying to raise some nice kids, well that's just not fair.
