I am one of those 'baby crazy' women who has this desire that takes up a lot of my thoughts lately to have a baby. I just recently turned 20, and the desire came about very strong around that time. Anyway, I know from reading other questions/answers on here that this is perfectly normal, and I understand why this is happening. I am in no position to act upon that desire now, as I haven't even finished college, let alone grad school yet. The purpose of this question is that I have to conduct a phenomenological study for my research methods class this semester, and I've decided to do it on this very matter. It is relevant and interesting to me, and so I want to talk and research others who have been going through this maternal desire. I need to do a literature review, as well so I need to research previous studies and articles on this subject matter. However, I am having difficulty figuring out what an appropriate scientific name, term, or phrase would be for what I am currently calling 'baby fever.' This is where you all come in. Please help me come up with this term so I can start doing the actual background research for my study. Thanks!
