Hi, I am a final-year Psychology student at Newcastle University and I would like to explore the concept of women being addicted to pregnancy. I would ideally like to create a report on this for my dissertation or if accepted for a phD next year. Please let me know if anyone knows of anything. I have found plenty of news articles and blogs but I cannot find any actual research.
Found this: Faye A, Kirpekar V, Tadke R, Gawande S, Bhave S. Obsession of pregnancy: Does it exist? Asian J Psychiatr. 2017 Oct;29:89-90. doi: 10.1016/j.ajp.2017.03.042. Epub 2017 Apr 4. PMID: 29061437.
Hi Ivan, thank you so much for this. Unfortunately, this research looks more into the addictive fear of becoming pregnant. The research I am interested in looks at women who become addicted to being pregnant (carrying a baby and having babies). This may be due to the hormones, attention, emotional bond etc that are created during pregnancy.

Good afternoon, Rebekah Woolmer
This question is intriguing; I look forward to your research and results. I do not know how I might be able to help, but if you find a reason or way that I may help gather any information, please let me know.
As my profile states, I am a graduate student in a Master of Professional Counseling program (aiming at LPC in my state). I was a behavioral health nurse in the military for about 13 years and spent a few years before that in a civilian mental health facility. Nothing I could attribute to the nature of your research seems to stand out. However, conversations, things in the margins of other research, and other experiences hooked me into this thread as soon as I read your question. I may not be able to contribute anything, but I am following this to cheer you on.
Respectfully, Cynthia E. Crawford
