The Belly-Rubbing High: Are some women addicted to having babies?

By Martha Brockenbrough
Women's Health

It's not just in your head. There really is a bumper crop of baby bumps out there, from the famously fertile, like Heidi Klum, who's flirting with her fourth set of stretch marks in five years, to the infamous Nadya "Octomom" Suleman, who earlier this year bore eight babies at once even though she already had six other kids at home that she could barely afford to take care of.

In 2007 alone, American women birthed more than 4.3 million babies â€” the highest number ever. More than a quarter of those were to women having their third or fourth child, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And despite the infertility freak-out the entire country seems to be currently engaged in, only a small number of these babies â€” perhaps 100,000 â€” resulted from medical interventions such as in vitro fertilization, says Jamie Grifo, M.D., Ph.D., director of the division of reproductive endocrinology at the NYU School of Medicine.

That doesn't mean that we're transforming into a nation of Duggars (the Arkansas family with 18 kids often seen announcing their latest conception on NBC's TODAY show) and Novogratzes (the New York City clan of seven kids soon to be the focus of a new Bravo reality show) â€” the average number of children per American family is still hovering right around two.

Still, certain mothers, like 31-year-old Meagan Francis, who is raising her flock of five in Michigan, have big broods because that's what they're used to. "I grew up in a relatively large family and always loved having lots of people around," she says. "So it's natural that I'd try to re-create that experience with my own family."

But it's not always quite so simple, psychologists say. Some women may like being pregnant a little too much, often driven to rapidly reproduce out of insecurity, a craving for attention, or feelings of abandonment by their own parents.

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."

I wonder if Martha Brokenborough is a mother herself, or had experienced pregnancy.
I felt happy during my pregnancy, but I have so much stress in giving birth. I have had myself ligated right after the cesarian because the doctor told me that my matres ( unsa gani ni sa ingles

) is still capable of producing 5 babies, and I was then 43. This is my personal experience and opinion.

Liking being pregnant? Tinuod kaha ni? Sagad sa ahong nahibaw-an kay namabdos lang kay nasipjat! Practically all mothers, I guess, moingon nga ganahan sila nga naa silay anak, but most of them recall their pregnancy as generally an unpleasant experience.

Sakto no? Dili problema ang pagmabdos, ang pagpanganak diay.

Murag naigo ko ani nga article hehhehe. All my children are plan dili ni ingon nga Na OOps or accidental. Galumba ra mi ni Haide Klum ug kabuntis kay everytime mabuntis na siya mabuntis sad ko hahahah.Upat na iya ako pud upat napud ug tapuon ming duha Octomom among labas.
Lisod magbuntis pero lami ang feeling buntis plus I consider myself nga addict ug batang gamay kay ug modagko na akong anak kay ma feel man nako naa koy emptiness inside. Nagpanic gani ko last year kay nakarealize ko nga akong youngest 3 years old na mosugod na ug Pre-K mao inay nagcontrol ko akong gibuhian mao lipaya nako nabuntis ko kay saun nalang wa na koy kauban sa balay ug moschooling na akong anak. Naay truth ana nga article base on my personal experience. I hate being pregnant but I love small babies so ug di na ko pabuntison sa akong bana mohire nalang ko ug mosurrogate next time sa akong umaabot nga anak hehehhe.

When baby pa ahong gamaynga igsoon, si Andre, mo adto man ko sa room sa ahong parents to see him sleeping.

Ug mo wake up na si Andre, mo stare bitaw sija nako, innocent kaayo iyang eyes.

And when i lift him up to hug him and carry him, mo mold pood iyang lawas to my body. Mo hold pood sija sa iyang kuya. hahaha ka cute kaayo.

And when he was of 7-8 months of age, when he learned to crawl, he would crawl so fast. I would tease him by crawling with him, and mo follow mid sija ni kuya. LOL

It was as if we were two lions hunting. We would crawl in our family room and when our mom came downstairs, i would lead Andre and mo follow pood sija, but as soon as he saw mom, mo crawl si Andre ahead of me---straight to the arms of mom. hahahaha!

Cute kaayo. Kai 8 months old pa sija and he already knows mom and mom jud. Kai he would crawl to mom and then expect to be carried up. hahaha!

It is truly a blessing to have a baby.

----

Surreal kaayo you know?
Because I would talk about this to my sister, Lorraine, as she would remember the time when I used to play with my baby bro when baby pa si Andre.

And my brother Andre has no memory of this, jud.

For me, it is so surreal. Because i could still remember when he was only a little 8 month old baby. When he was 1 year old and called me 'kya kya' (kuya)
And when he was 2 years old he called me 'kya bwan'

LOL! maka lingaw....

I can still remember him calling me that, "Kya Bwan Bwan' (Kuya Bran Bran)

Now, daku na sija. 10 years old na.
Na sophisticated na ijang language.

But he does not know that his Kuya still remembers him as that 8 month old baby.
The baby that followed and loved to crawl after his kuya...

---

Gamaytitoy nga cute cute. lol! My little munchkin.

my baby bro. na daku na.

If an individual, a mother and father loves kids, and has the resources and the love to raise them. Let Them.

God Said to them, "Go Forth and Multiply"

Maka katawa pood mi ang mga bata sa message sa among Father;

"Ang Lawas sa Amahan ug Lawas sa Inahan, may ang Foundation sa mga bata ug generation that comes after them."

It justifies a man to bear children. For out of one tree trunk ( a man and woman), comes forth entire branches, and fulfills God's Message to "Multiply".

Blessed is the sight of children and grandchildren to grandparents.

Ahong Lolo Ciano said to us (his apos)--when he came to live with us in the USA:
"Lipay ko kaayo na buhi pa ko nakakita ko sa ahong mga Apos diri sa America, naka kit apood ko sa ahong mga apo sa Pinas. Lipay na ko kaayo."

Children. It not only is a blessing for a marriage, but it is the Lasting imprint of a man and woman. His and her genetic mark. That tho we may die in this mortal toil, and our soul lifts to heaven after we perish, our body never truly dies.

For within our chromosome rests our genes. It is continued on to our children and grandchildren, great grandchildren etc etc. Which continues our progeny, our line.
That truly, we never really truly die.

The 'original' recombinant may perish, as nature bequethes, but our Genes will never die. You live on in your children, grandchildren, your entire progeny.
