What is baby fever?

Lately, all my friends are having babies and I'm feeling this strong urge to have one too! My husband jokingly said I have 'baby fever'. Is 'baby fever' an actual thing, like a psychological state or something?

Omg, baby fever isn't an actual medical fever, it is just that intense, sudden urge to have a baby when you see cute infant reels or hold someone's newborn! I get it all the time now that my friends are starting families. It is totally emotional and very normal.

Actually yaar, it is just slang for wanting to have a baby really badly. My sister got it so bad after visiting our cousin's newborn, she literally couldn't stop talking about baby clothes for a month! It is just a psychological phase.

Haan, yeh koi bimar hone wala fever nahi hai na. Jab dosto ke chhote bache dekh kar khud ka baby plan karne ka mann kare, us feeling ko baby fever bolte hain. Aaj kal toh social media pe bache dekh kar sabko hi hone laga hai!

Haha, baby fever is literally just getting obsessed with cute babies on TikTok or Instagram and wanting one of your own. Even I get it sometimes when I see those tiny shoes, but then I remember my college assignments and it goes away real quick.

If you mean a real fever in a small infant, you must be very careful and never try home remedies like cold baths without asking a doctor. But if you mean the modern saying of wanting a child, it is just the natural maternal instinct that God puts in every woman when the right time comes.
