People are generally infected by the good things they see around them, by situations that bring joy or happiness to those close to them. When you tell your friends and family about your experiences, a trip to a place that has amazed you, you transmit it with such happiness that the people around you are infected with that joy and inevitably, they feel the illusion of knowing what that state has produced in you.
Something similar happens with motherhood, in fact several studies have been carried out in Europe in this regard. What has been observed is that pregnancy is "contagious" between women living in the same environment Social. Logically when we say that it is contagious, we are not referring to a contagion such as a cold. This contagion is emotional.
How is the desire to be a mother contagious?
When a woman experiences a desired pregnancy, which produces happiness and fills her with light, she is able to transmit these sensations to the people around her. Other women in your work, family or social environment may see how her maternal instinct awakens and blooms, so that they begin to feel the desire to become pregnant.
In many cases this occurs in women who in some way already feel that desire to be a mother, but who may be afraid of possible complications, towards childbirth or simply they do not know what a pregnancy is like. Today there are not as many pregnancies as in previous times, so it is not uncommon for many women to grow up without having experienced a pregnancy around them.
Ignorance can cause wrong feelings, fears and fear of the unknown. And this can cause the woman to hide that desire to be a mother, rather than face those fears.
All women do not feel the desire to be a mother
Although the studies carried out are quite conclusive and determine that there really is a contagion between women before pregnancy, this does not affect all people. There are women who do not really feel the call of motherhood, for whatever reasons are under their freedom of choice. That you are pregnant and live it intensely and with emotion and share it with all the people around you, does not mean that you can provoke in everyone the desire to seek pregnancy.
Why can a pregnant woman provoke the desire for pregnancy in other people?
When you know the experience of other people in questions that cause you doubt, you find the answer to many of your fears. Live closely the pregnancy of a known person, a colleague from work or a friend or family member, without a doubt somehow influences your vision of motherhood. Knowing that other people are capable of doing it, of getting pregnant, of having a healthy pregnancy, in addition to childbirth, can help you feel that you would be capable of doing it too.
Many women who have doubts about pregnancy can find an answer and know the positive aspects of motherhood. The vision of motherhood has changed a lot in recent years, people want to have more information, to know all the aspects that surround their children and there is no better way to know all this than through someone who experiences it in the first person.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the studies carried out determine that this symbolic contagion occurs among women of similar ages, who share a social environment, be it work, family or friendship, and who are in similar conditions in terms of studies and social position.
Perhaps after reading this information, you can find some case of women from your environment who have become pregnant simultaneously. Perhaps it is even your case and you are considering seeking pregnancy by contagion, do not worry, it is not dangerous. If you feel that way, it is because perhaps that desire was in you for a long time, asleep, waiting for the right moment to come.
