When you have the urge to have a baby it's called baby fever.

Baby fever is a sudden and intense desire to have a baby and it's a phenomenon which is recognized in both women and men.

Although it may also manifest differently and also at different life stages.

The exact cause of baby fever is debated although some theories also suggest that the cause of baby fever is a combination of biological instincts as well as emotional triggers and societal pressures.

Societal pressures or societal expectations such as about family roles can play a part in baby fever.

And other people believe that baby fever is caused by a biological urge related to procreation and the preservation of the species.

Baby fever though is not considered a medical condition, but simply is a common term used to describe the intense longing to having a baby and also experiencing parenthood.

The feeling of wanting a baby, often called "baby fever," can stem from a combination of biological, social, and emotional factors.

Evolutionary instincts, societal expectations, and personal circumstances all play a role in this desire to have a baby.

From an evolutionary perspective, the desire to have a baby and reproduce is essential for the continuation of a species.

Those with a strong urge to procreate were more likely to pass on their genes.

Hormones like oxytocin, often called the "love hormone," can also trigger nurturing feelings and behaviors, potentially contributing to the desire for a child or baby.
