Naturally-conceiving actress and singer Jennifer Lopez has admitted she felt a lot of pressure from her mother to get pregnant:

The ‘Do It Well’ singer says she felt under even more pressure to fall pregnant because her mother rang daily to ask if there was any news.

In her first interview since the pregnancy announcement, Jennifer told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: “I’ve never made any secret of the fact that I want children - this is a special time for us.

“When Marc and I first got married my mother rang me every day to see if there was any news. I come from a big Latino family where it’s all about having children, so there was a huge pressure from the start.”

Oh Jen. We know the feeling. Last Christmas, our family was practically chasing us around with a turkey baster, so we definitely know the stereotype of the “Latino family wanting you to be barefoot and pregnant” to be at least partially true.

Have you all had the same experience? Why the focus on babies? Wouldn’t you rather your daughter, or son for that matter, to focus on school or work or not hustling for heroin instead of making babies they can’t yet afford and might not want?
