Baby boom

Y are there so many pregnant women these days?
Ok, lets go over some basic biological concepts:
Sexual reproduction --> two organisms combining their genetic information in order to create a new one;
Asexual reproduction --> the equivalent of a guy creating a clone of himself through a simples hand job.
Alas, in sexual reproduction the resulting organism will have a mix of its parental genetic background, which leads to genetic diversity, while in asexual reproduction the progeny has the same genetic information of its parental entity.
Many microorganisms adopt asexual reproduction as default, and use sexual reproduction only under stress conditions (like lack of nutrients, adverse environmental conditions, etc.) in order to increase population diversity. The rationale is that this diversity might lead to organisms better fitted to withstand the changes that are occurring/have occurred in the environment, thereby avoiding extinction.
What does this have to do with pregnant women? Easy... For a few years now, the country's favorite word is "crisis". If there's crisis, it's because the environment in which we live has become harsh, stressful.
My theory is that some basic, ancient, biological sense has kicked in, telling us to reproduce like hell in the hope that our offspring will be able to overcome the hard times we face.
As for me, I've done all I could. 7 more months to go.
