Why am i suddenly obsessed with babies?

6 Comments

I am a 24 year old female who has been in a serious relationship for 18 months. My biggest fear in life is giving birth (I have never been pregnant,) yet for the past 6 months I have been consumed with the desire to have a baby of my own. I see babies EVERYWHERE and have had dreams where I'm pregnant. I would like to face this fear in a few years after I have travelled and worked overseas but I literally feel obsessed. I watch one born every minute religiously as an added form of contraception, but recently find myself crying and emotional (during the show). I talk about babies and labour with my boyfriend and friends. My boyfriend is highly against having a baby now and so am I, but how do I stop the urge? :(

    It's normal to want a child, even if you fear pregnancy. Maybe you should adopt when you're ready!

    Sounds a bit unusual tbh.

    Yeah overall it sounds normal, but I think you're on the extreme end of it, I'm not sure what to make of that, except maybe you're acting out, because you are afraid you won't be able to have one due to your bf not wanting one or another reason.

    Hire a surrogate or something.

    It's normal to have a maternal urge, but sounds like what you're experiencing is a little more extreme than the usual.

    Obsessed with babies, talking to everyone about babies, crying and getting emotional about babies... Strange.
