Question by Rebellovin: Women who are addicted to pregnancy?
I found this article on MSN homepage.
It reads -And this is just a quote from it-
Having babies isn’t addictive in the way that alcohol and narcotics can be. But bumpaholics feel compelled to procreate for many of the same reasons that substance abusers turn to booze or drugs.
“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,” says Beverly Hills psychiatrist Carole Lieberman, M.D. Every one of us at some point encounters this void, adds New York family therapist Bonnie Eaker Weil, Ph.D., author of “Financial Infidelity.” “You want to have a purpose in this world. You want to feel less lonely.”
It’s not hard to understand why: People smile at you, throw you baby showers, buy you lots of gifts. And the rounder your belly gets, the more space you take up in the world, and the more people take notice of you. In many respects, you become impossible to ignore.

So my question is, is pregnancy addictive?
And if so, then do you believe that is why Nada Suleman aka -Rude nick name- Octomom, gave birth to so many children?

No NO NO Mommy ofa beautiful baby boy -Congrats by the way- But Nada asked her doc to implant so many of them inside of her, it wasn’t a accident or the correct procedure, I just thought I’d put that out in the open, She actually wanted all them implanted inside of her.
Best answer:
Answer by Mommy to a beautiful baby boy
Octomom only had so many children at one time because of fertility treatments. and it is a risk you take when getting those- multiple babies at one time
What do you think? Answer below!
I do honestly think that people have baby after baby AFTER BABY for attention. I mean, unless they have the means to support all those babies. But anyone who doesn’t, and goes against what is right and what is wrong, it’s about attention.
I can think of a perfect example.

Think of it like this…
Have you seen the movie Baby Mama ?
That older woman who keeps having babies ?
She’s like “Yes, I am pregnant aaaagain :D”
And the woman is like “What ? Your eggs are like from the 60′s !”
Or something like that ? Rofl.
That’s what I thought of when I read the article earlier today.
I saw that as well. I think it can be addicting, as you get such a deep connection with the baby growing inside of you, that it’s just a wonderful period of time, therefore, it can be addicting.
I JUST looked at that. I definitely think it can be addictive, you notice how pregnant women are usually made a fuss of?
Pregnancy is addictive to some women. Unfortunately rarely the women who are good mothers.
My brother’s wife is addicted to pregnancy. She just gave birth to her fifth child. She has had all of her children immediately after the other. Her oldest is five I think. She loves being pregnant because she loves the attention. Once the kid is born, she cares nothing for him/her. Her husband works and when he comes home he’s the one that feeds the kids and tries to clean the house etc. Its so bad my mom and I have thought about reporting them to child services. They are homeless half the time. The only time they have ever lived anywhere was when they were living with family or in a shelter. Its absolutely disgusting and extremely unfair to the kids. They live in filth and are left to fend for themselves all day until daddy gets home. The woman is rude and horrible to be around…but when she is pregnant she is just glowing and of course taking full advantage of it.
Another woman that is on TV is the Duggers. Its one thing to have a big family, but having almost 20 kids is a little ridiculous.
