Is it normal to... be obsessed with pregnancy?

I am 26 years old. I have 5 kids. 4 girls and 1 boy. I am currently pregnant with my 6th baby.(18weeks) I got myself pregnant.(well, with my husbands help, but him not knowing,well, now he does)This is my 7th pregnancy. I cant see myself stopping. I just have an urge to get pregnant and seeing those 2 lines, then the baby on an ultrasound and then in labor. I love it all.!!! I cant help myself. My kids are taken care of and are happy and healthy. I dont know what to think of about myself. I know it cant be normal. I am scared to get my tubes tied. too final for me and i dont trust myself on birth control b/c i just stop taking what i am on to get pregnant. I think i may need help. I dont know.

Is It Normal?

  • Hmmm, have you ever considered being a sarogate mother? My cousin LOVES being pregnant too. Maybe you could help others who can't have kids...

  • hotchicki81 actually has an amazing idea
    use something different about your self, to help other people! win-win!
    Then you don't have to take care of all the kids and pay for them to go to college.

  • Is this a fake post? If not, I wonder why it is all about you being pregnant, and not your family and how they are all managing. That doesn't seem right to me somehow ...

  • Are you addicted to being pregnant? Studies show that women who love being pregnant may actually be addicted to it, and are often referred to as "bumpaholics". There is medical and psychological evidence that craving the baby bump and pregnancy in general may be more than just having a joy of children- being pregnant may be a chemical addiction to some women. <BR><BR>A "bumpaholic" is essentially a woman who just loves being pregnant to the point of obsession. Bumpaholics crave the needed attention of getting their bellies rubbed, being pampered, and feeling life grow within them. They crave the feeling of being needed to carry life, and tend to feel "empty" when they are not carrying a child within them. Why are so many women "bumpaholics"? And are YOU one? <BR><BR>According to Women'sHealth, being pregnant for some women is as much an addiction as drugs or alcohol to others. "Women who are obsessed with being pregnant are literally filling an emptiness inside of them, just as alcoholics and drug addicts use substances to fill a psychological void," claims Beverly Hills psychiatrist Carole Lieberman, M.D. Says New York family therapist Bonnie Eaker Weil, Ph.D, " You want to have a purpose in this world. You want to feel less lonely." She also claims that "Bumpaholics breed to blot out their feelings of anxiety." <BR><BR>Makes sense. Babies are innocent, dependent creatures and moms are eager to soothe. It makes women feel important, useful, and craved in attention and need. Babies also give a companion for social situations in which an insecure woman would otherwise be alone for- she can focus solely on her baby instead of interacting with others and having to face her social insecurities. Bumpaholics also tend to have babies to try to "fix" things- like marriages, not wanting to work, or just choosing to have a purpose in life. <BR><BR>"Pregnancy is like a love drug, a baby-love drug," says Weil. The body promotes Oxytocin during sex, pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding, and is a "cuddle" hormone provided to create a bond between mother and baby. Some women crave this bonding so much they just would rather be pregnant and caring for a baby more than anything else. <BR><BR>Being a "bumpaholic" isn't really a bad thing- so long as a woman understands her need to be pregnant to feel fulfilled. Perhaps involving herself in more "me" time, finding things that build her confidence, or working on things that need to be fixed in her life rather than becoming pregnant all the time might be a better way to go, though. Some women just plain are addicted to being pregnant, and just simply enjoy the pregnancy and all that comes along with it.

    • Me too. If I could I would have had a baby three years ago and as many as I could there after. Sadly I have never had sex due to a medical prob thro am a lady and cannot stop watching pregnancy hardcore porn and having a good masturbate to it all. Its gotten to the point where I had to buy (and now wear) a 9 months practise pregnant belly suite to do the job it fells so much better than stuffing myself and the best thing I brought. I love wearing it while watching pregnancy hardcore porn or stuff re pregnancy on TV or YouTube then masturbate rubbing a bath towel in-between my fanny and crossing my legs, when no one is around. Has anyone else brought one of these practise pregnant belly suite? I am thinking of wearing my suite one day around my village to see if any looks at me and to see how much turned on I get. I too cannot see women, friends, family members or teachers pregnant in real life without being wet below and sexily aroused.I believe I would have to see something about pregnancy to get me in the mood before sex God I am so turned on now I need to go masturbate good and hard, as I am very wet too. View my story to read more! Wish I was a mum :-(

  • It has gotten to the point where I had to buy a 9 months practise pregnant belly suite which I had to give up in March 2013, since my one and only bf found it and took to a charity shop. However I never really said that I had brought it or why. I feel empty without it.

    I loved to still act very very fat and pregnant too wearing tight clothes (sometimes I wear an old swimming suite stuffed to the max) and a very tight belt. It does not feel the same anymore, and does not feel like I am carrying a baby.

  • it is normal for women to want to bear children and raise them, i would love to have a child, but i do think it was wrong of you to get pregnant without your husband having any knowledge of it, but i do understand where you're coming from. as long as you are raising your kids properly and are giving them the best life possible, then i have nothing negative to say.

  • Please talk to your husband! This involves him as well and is he "didn't know" when you got pregnant, that's a huge breach un trust. If this is a real post, I think that you need help, because having kids is a big deal and you have to think about everyone involved, not just yoursfelf.
