I guess its the experience they have with getting pregnant, finding out if its a boy or girl, baby showers, then watching the newborn grow and learning. Some just enjoy having babies and want to keep having those experiences.

I know a family that each of the sisters have over 6 kids except one, who has problem having kids. Every family party she feels like hell when she sees all the kids running around.
The one sister in the family says she wont stop having kids till she gets on with blue eyes.
I think it’s more the way people were raised then the way they think.
I guess so!
i think having your first is likely the one you obsess about most… but anytime you want something you can’t have, like really want, you tend to obsess.
but no, definitely not an addiction, more like a desire.
It may be. Some women want to have big families. Maybe some want three. It is their personal decision, right? Children are a blessing, and the way you made it sound, it was as if you were upset that anyone would try to have more than one child, and that they shouldn’t have anymore because there are women who can’t conceive. I’m not sure that’s how you meant it, but that’s how it sounded.
I want two, but that doesn’t make me addicted to having children. I think it may reach addiction status when you have 6 and you decide to keep having more. But just for women who have 3 kids or so, I don’t see that as an addiction at all. They just love children.
Not sure if the actual act of having children is addictive but I’m sure having kids can be linked to other mental health issues. Like the need to feel important, sence of power, need to feel loved without the possibility of being dumped, total control, having someone be 100% dependant on you. Something like that.
I don’t think that having kids is an “addiction” exactly, there are usually many factors in place when a woman decides to ttc for another child. Such as they do not want their son/daughter to be an only child, they want a big family…etc. Sure there are plenty of women who want just one child, but that is a personal choice. I don’t think having more than one kid should cause people to categorize you as having an “addiction”.
I’ve always wanted children. At least three. I have a step-daughter, and am 35 weeks pregnant with my first biological child. I don’t know how pregnancy and children could be addictive. I love my step-daughter, and my baby on the way, but pregnancy is both beautiful and scary. I don’t think I’d plan it more than three or four times. Naturally I know that there are people who pray to have at least one, but that doesn’t change the fact that some women want big families.
yes it is.. and sometimes frustrating just to have one.. baby dust to all ^^
