If at some point you've had an irrepressible, inexplicable urge to make a baby, you may be interested to know there's a term for that — baby fever — and that it's a bona fide physical and emotional phenomenon, according to research in an upcoming issue of the journal Emotion.
Although it may be linked to another baby-craving phenomenon commonly known as the "biological clock," in which women realize their biological baby-making window is dwindling, baby fever isn't specific to women. Men can get all goo-goo-ga-ga too, say a husband-wife team at Kansas State University who first wondered about the sensation after their second child was born.
Look at that little rosebud.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much federal grant money they got to do their study.
