    Why am I so obsessed with getting pregnant?
    So I am really obsessed about pregnancy. I don't have any kids of my own yet, but I don't understand why I am such in a hurry to have any. The whole idea of being pregnant sounds so sexy to me. All I really watch on TV is baby stuff such as bringing home baby, deliver me, birth day, baby story. I'm still a young adult and don't live with my boy-friend. I know this isn't normal. Or is it? What can I do to take my mind off all of this? :confused:

    It can be normal... some women just have a very strong drive to be a mother. If the timing is not right for you, maybe look into getting involved in other ways of caring for babies. If you have friends or family members with babies, offer to help out. If you attend church, work in the nursery if they have one.

    Pregnancy can be wonderful, but it can also be miserable. Raising a baby is an absolute joy, but can also be frustrating and exhausting.

    You could start doing some reading on pregnancy and birth to satisfy your interest for now. It will also help you be that much more prepared when you do decide the time is right.
