Is pregnancy contagious? Researchers say yes

[Spartan]

Scientists confirm that pregnancy is actually contagious, and they say they have the research to prove it. 

The study, published by The American Sociological Association journal, lasted over a 10-year span (from 1990s to the 2000s). 

Researchers analyzed the data of 1,720 women and discovered that more than half of women had a child by the end of the experiment. 

 

The women who were interviewed mentioned things such as "friendship ties," citing it as a probable reason for a strong "contagion" in pregnancies, meaning humans tend to act according to their environment and interpersonal interactions, which in turn influences the decisions they make. 

Researchers said other possible factors prompting a woman to change the direction of her fertility intentions include: 

• If you see a friend who can manage her child, it gives you confidence about your childcaring capabilities
• Seeing your friends stepping into motherhood gives you a feeling of having been "left behind," so you may start trying to keep yourself "up-to-date" by becoming a mom, too

Additionally, the study found that "friendship ties" can also influence the number of children a woman has, all for the same reason -- if you see a friend who can manage several children, you can do it too!
