I dont think women can be obsessed with being pregnant..sometimes seeing people with their kids u want to experience that same feeling and so that makes u want to have kids especially if it would be ur first time..i have a daughter but i wasnt near ready to have her but she has been a great blessing to me..if i want to do it again?,.maybe good amount of years have elapsed because its not easy especially when ur a single parent.

i think its an addiction to some that keep having children with out both parents being there.

to the comment sutra913 made thats crap u dont need both parents to raise a child all u need is god love and patience. i am 25 have 2 beautiful children 6 and 3 and i am i single parent doing a wonderful job by myself. my children dont need or want for anything and my oldest which is a girl laughs at these babies havin babies and as far as it being an addiction i loved being pregnant. i think it another one of those baby booms or something in the water cuz everyone is doin it when i had my first in 02 everyone was havin babies parents talk to ur kids for real they listen i talk to my 6 year old all the time she listens and yes u have tostart talking tothemwhile they are young at 12 it is tooo late cuz their friends are already doin it remember when u were little think about it. and to those of u who are not single parents stop downgradin us we doing just fine baby.

I believe that you can be obsessed with different things and if having sex and having babies is an obsession then that is going to be an obstacle for her look at the lady that has 18 children grant it her children are taken care of but she still has alot. Then this lady is 28 bankrupt and she has 14 children staying with her parents and bringing 8 more children in the home. Really if you cant afford them then dont have them.

the quote that i made was “some” but then you said you like being pregnant and parents don’t have to be together to raise there children. i do think that when woman take more time thinking about being pregnant than the person they are having these kids by is the problem even in some cases addictive. you mentioned you like being pregnant but their was a negative tone to the father of your children for what ever reasons,that’s what im talking about.

I think just as someone (myself) can have a food addiction, sure there can be a pregnancy addiction. I personally have one child and there is NO desire to have anymore.

I do agree with what romielove09 said because I just recently got married almost a month ago and before then I was a single parent to a 6 year old son and 1 1/2 year old daughter and I will be the first to say my children wanted for nothing so i would never look down to a single parent because I have been there and done that it is not always easy and sometimes the road gets weary and you feel like you cant make it but with GOD I held on and we made it. So to all the SINGLE PARENTS in the world dont give up hold your head up even when it seems like you are to your last dime, you get paid in 2 weeks you have no child support or its late you tried to borrow money but you havent gotten it yet, your refrigerator is almost empty, and your car is out of gas, Believe me I have been there many times I went to sleep crying because I did not have enough but God sent me someone. Dont go out ther looking for anyone just wait he will come to you. I waited then I looked but when you wait and not look good things will come. I have a husband that waits on me hand and foot he dont wait on me to clean the house he does it for me, he comes home and gives me money every night no question about it and I dont have to want for nothing at all. So if you wait good things will come I am a living witness.

I honestly feel that a woman can be addicted to being pregnant. When I first found out I was pregnant, I was excited, and happy. When I gave birth I was ecstatic. After a few months I realized that I missed being pregnant. It wasnt because of the sex; It was the fact that I was carrying a new life. I was happy being pregnant because it was a blessing. Even though I was a single parent, I still felt a great deal of cheerfulness. Women can also love being mothers and having children to take care of. I think women like becoming mothers, because they have a specific person in their life that will love you no matter what. Hopefully, in the future, I can become a surrogate mother.

Just recently I discovered that I am addicted to childbirth. I have 7 kids from ages 2 to 17. I am divorced and I am raising my kids alone. There’s no weekend visits with dad I have them all to myself (except when 5 of them are at school). In my case I learned that having children and being a mother to them provided a love that I didn’t have so much as a child. It’s a matter of being fulfilled emotionally. Physically being pregnant is also addicting, the whole feeling all the way to labor and pushing the baby out…it’s wonderful. However I am dedicated to my kids to the fullest but I know a few women with a slew of kids that would rather spend the majority of their time away from their children.

I have two beautiful kids a boy and girl and i dont want anymore. Although i do sometimes find myself wanting another, and missing being pregnant. But…I personally dont want anymore.

MY OPINION IS THAT WOMEN JUST NEED TO STOP TRYIN TO HAVE BABIES BECAUSE OUR ECONOMY IS ALREADY F**KED UP AND BY BRINGIN BABIES IN DIS WORLD DATS JUST MAKIN MATTERS WORSE CUZ U HAVE TO THINK BOUT HOW EXPENSIVE BABIES ARE AND I JUST BELIEVE DAT SUM WOMEN ARE JUST HAVIN BABIES JUST TO TRY AND TRAP A MAN AND SLAP ON DA CHILD SUPPORT FOR THE MONEY SO YES IT IS A ADDICTION AND ONE MORE THING LIKE I SAID B4 DA ECONOMY IS F**KED UP SO STOP OPENIN YO F**KIN LEGS

First I would like to address MrAPSU’s comment by simply saying: you singled out only women in your comment, but addiction or not, the last I checked it takes TWO to make a baby!!!!

I dont’ know if I agree with the whole addiction diagnosis. I will say that being a mother myself, I can know the joy and excitement surrounding the birth of your child. Feeling life inside of you and then bringing that life into this world, is an experience that is irreplaceable. So wanting to experience that multiple times is understandable. After all that is one of our purposes for being (Genesis 1:22). But having children just because you can’t stop (as an “addiction” would apply) I can’t comprehend that.

Oh wow!!!! I honestly have never heard of something like this before but after reading some of the comments on here, I am amazed and actually believe that this could be a viable issue. I’m not saying that I agree a whole 100% but just the fact that so many people from all around the way are agreeing on the same things make me think, oh wow!!! So to answer the question, I’m not sure how I could even do so since I have so little knowledge but in the off chance I had to answer now, I would say I think that this in thei day and time, with the world the way it is, anything is possible.

Yes females can be addicted to childbirth but it’s not because of money honey. I know someone who is with her husband and got five kids ages from one in the womb right now until the age of six. She loves having babies and being pregnant, its not that she is trying to get any extra money

lol.. wow? stop opening your legs? .. how about you stop crawling between them.

SMH… but anyway…yes I do believe that it can be an addiction for some women.

OK listen i believe the question is can having our babies be the new addiction. for the most part the women on here agreed that it can be.some even admitted that they have that addiction, witch i applaud their honesty so we answered that question. to mrapsu men can solve this problem too by not running up in women raw dog also. yes women have the last say when they are pregnant and they have to be accounted for there decision but the first decision is prevention and men account in that decision since you already know the economy is f**k up.

mrapsu it takes 2 to make a baby so if you gon tell woman to stop opening their legs you also need to tell men to stop getting in between them

that is crazy to me…….

an addiction is a state in which the body relies on a substance for normal functioning and develops physical dependence, as in drug addiction. When the drug or substance on which someone is dependent is suddenly removed, it will cause withdrawal, a characteristic set of signs and symptoms.

common usage of the term addiction has spread to include psychological dependence.

Since we know that people can be addicted to anything from video games, to biting their nails. We can safely assume that a woman can be addicted to being pregnant, and having children.

Diana Korte, wrote in her book, “A GOOD BIRTH, A SAFE BIRTH”, “Biologically, women are designed to receive physical pleasure not only during lovemaking, but during birth and breastfeeding as well.”
Now am I suggesting that women are in no pain when giving child birth? God forbid. For I said that I would be calling his word a lie where he said women would travail in birth. However, I am saying from an addiction stand point, psychologically, a most addictions are usually to allow pleasure, some are from something they are not receiving (i.e. attention, connection, an escape from personal problems, exchanging of problems, OCD..etc).

I believe in my theory, that women like any other person has the ability to become addicted to the pains of being pregnant; maybe her husband or boyfriend pays more attention to her while she is pregnant then he does when she is not. it can be any number of thing; however, we do know that you can be addicted to anything

In my humble opinion, I believe that

well said kadia

AS long as they can take care of all the children they have who are we to say anything about what they do!!!!

Honestly i do believe that a woman can be addicted to being a mother dealing with the overall comfort and care for her child, but being addicted to giving birth I would have to disagree. As men we have all heard stories about how painful it is.

I think that today’s society…is just jacked up. nobody uses protection n e more because if you’vr been with a person, lets say…a MINIMUM of abt…a month to two months, u love them, and u dont have to use rubbers…WRONG…but thats how ALOTTTA ppl think. thaats ALSO y the birth rate, as well as the STD/HIV/AIDS rate is at its highest. We have to protect ourselves. there r SOOO many sexally UNEDUCATED ppl, its ridiculous, and the parents that aren’t talking to their children are to blame as well. there is NOOOO earthly reason a 12,13,14,15,16 year old should even be ABLE to get pregnant. kids nowadays come and go as they please, and the parents just…go wit tha flow…’jus call me n let me kno where u r’…RIIIGHT…i jus dont understand. at the same time, there are parents who are out making honest livings, working, and/or going to school, and arent around their kids, those r the main ones getting pregnant, or into trouble. they have too much freedom…i jus dont understand…..

as far as an ‘ADDICTION’…its more of an epidemic. but like i previously stated, ppl believe that if you wanna use a rubber, either u’ve got something, or ur cheating…’u trust me, dontchu?’ hell i dont trust MYSELF!!! lol…but really, we have to protect ourselves.
