So the latest hot Hollywood thing got herself pregnant. During the course of the pregnancy she’s been quoted as how much she loves loves being pregnant, being able to eat more than she should, etc. Many people tend to grab onto these words and declare her a gravidophile.
But is she really?
At one point or another I’m sure Angelina Jolie was attributed as having some some of the things above. Let’s step back for a minute. Angelina Jolie has 6 kids. A grand total of 2 pregnancies. Angelina Jolie wants kids.
I definitely remember this being attributed to Jessica Alba. People were going nuts when the found out she was pregnant and lamented at her small size, but that’s neither here nor there. Before the pregnancy she also said:
“I’m really girly when it comes to kids. I’ve been surrounded by kids my whole life because I’m the oldest of 15 cousins — I’ve been changing diapers since I was six. I want to have a couple, for sure”
A recent case of octuplets is drawing attention of a few relevant forums (pixplz). I was surprised to find at the time of posting this no one has declared her “one of us.” After reading the linked article it’s easy to see this women is not all there in the head. She’s fixated on having kids. “That makes her one of us.” Someone said in a private conversation with me. I replied that she can’t have kids naturally. She took her remaining saved embryos and implanted ALL of them at once. Which resulted in a shorter, more painful and debilitating pregnancy. Why have 1 short one when you could have 8 long enjoyable pregnancies? Now she wants people to pay her to show her head on TV. How classy.
Guys. Just because your girlfriend wants kids, doesn’t make her a gravidophile. Just because she is OK with your fetish and even plays along, doesn’t mean she’s a gravidophile.
Imagine your desire for seeing ‘teh belly.’ Now imagine the same amount of desire for wanting it on yourself. Welcome to my world.

Wow that was good way of putting it. I’ve been having a hard time finding a good definition/explination of this word. Since I couldn’t find a good one of either it was hard to determine if I was a Gravidophile.
After reading this article I think I actually am.
thanks a bunch! ^^
Also, it’s true, I think it’s being thrown around too much. I rarley shear of anyone I’d consider to be a Gravidophile. Certaintly I haven’t heard of a celebrity who is.

A gravidophile is someone for whom pregnancy is its own reward, and the baby a fringe benefit.

What’s scary is being a guy, browsing /d/ with your significant other, having her ask what it’d be like if we swapped sexes, and realizing that you’d actually want to get knocked up as a girl.
That is the most awkward thing ever.

Yeah, I’m a guy whose ultimate fantasy is being transformed into a pregnant woman. So I am attracted to pregnant women sexually, but also would like to become one.
