Why don't you post this in the teen pregnancy forum?

O LOL OkAy..

Omg, please, SLOW DOWN. How long have you known this kid for? Please wait until you are older, it is going to be so hard. I was in your EXACT position and believe me, its harder than hell. I am now 19, and my daughter is almost a whole year old, but god, please, WAIT. With the economy being this way, and everything being so expensive...WAIT. Go to college first, ENJOY YOUR TEENAGE YEARS first.

I agree with the above poster...at 18 I'm not sure you understand what you're getting yourself into..if you have a kid now you are going to miss out on SO much, you're so young, live it up while you can a baby can wait until you're a)older and b)have a steady job..DO NOT count on the guy..he can talk all he wants now but many guys(i'm assuming he's around your age) split after the baby is born...my friend is learning this the hard way now and it is NOT easy..he has not helped AT ALL as far as going out and getting stuff for when the baby comes...just wait, you wont regret waiting..plus you'll be able to give the baby a better life if you have a stable job and education

well him and his family are all 4 it ((my family dont care much 4 me, me n my mom dont get along at all)) his mother even said she would pay 4 pretty much everything ((even though i told her no and we could do it ourselves)) and i am going 2 go 2 college still..i know i SHOULD wait but i dont want 2 wait i want 2 have all 5 of my children ((thats how many i plan 2 have)) by the time im 25 or b4 30..i dont kno why i do but i just want 2..i know every1 must think im crazy..but thank you 4 not being negative and please dont be

I am not going to try to be negative, I am just going to straight up give you my opinion...

Like the above posters have said...You dont know what you are getting yourself into...while having a child is the best thing in my life I wouldn't change having kids for the world...it is such and amazing feeling...but kids are a FULL TIME job...when you have kids...there is no going back,they come first...not you...not your boyfriend...the child comes first. 24 hours 7 days a week...your child! Like one of the members said above, things are harder theses days and expensive....but if you think you are ready and can give your baby the best life it can ever have right now? then I say go for it... but make sure you both have good financial jobs...steady jobs...and know that you can afford this baby. Have good transportation and a permanent home to live in.
so with that said, I wish you the best and good luck with the future!

if everything goes well, you have good jobs & there are no complications you might be able to bring each child up for around $10,000 per year. If 1 child is sick you might be lucky if it only costs you an extra $10,000 to $15000. The other thing is The male of the species doesn't reach full potential normally untill the age of 24 /25. Then theres the fact that after you give birth you may think every things fine even though they keep you busy but your so worn out & then five years after the first you find yourself so sick & after some time you discover you have MS & you & the kids are all unwell, to discover that it has been bought on by a slow nutritional deficiency because your not getting the correct nutrition while your chasing after both ends of each child. This all happened to my sister &she would trade places with anyone offering good health. you are probably having some form of deficiency or imbalance now because your in the fertile prime of your life & yet still not had success. Don't be in too big a hurry you have no idea whats ahead of you & you couldn't even begin to imagine, I fear that because your family don't seem to care that you may be searching for unconditional Love,With children it's not! It's unconditional demands& if thats the case it won't satisfy the need that you & all of us have to feel wanted. Obviously i don't know you but i would think by all the comments that have been in reply to you are out of experience & love for YOU. listen to this family that cares for you & just stop & put a plan togeather waiting for one more year may make a big difference. We are all here to help you, don't go it alone not like this!
May God bless you.

try college out and then if you think you've outgrown all of the partying ...plan to get married. then kids. im 24 and my full time job is my son. *lol* he is the easiest baby to take care of but it's still a full time job. if you two have been trying and nothings happening its a sign honey. calm down and use a few condoms or take the shot a few times. when you have a baby your life takes a 180. and you can't go back. sleep will be VERY rare, you wont have new clothes,you will NEVER eat a hot meal every again,no time to yourself, time with friends will be very limited. Now maybe thats something you can handle. like me. Id much rather be home playing with my baby than anything else. but we're going to hit a YEAR in late april- being home that long drives you crazy. i've hit my limit *lol*

just wait. it's not that bad waiting. try and take up a hobby or three that doesn't involve having a baby (you and your bf).

and it's not cheap having a baby. i hope one of you is working or both and saving money.

Maybe you're not pregnant because God is trying to tell you that he has more important things in mind for you, than to become a single mother (if you're not married you're single), and another statistic that lives off of WIC and food stamps in a bad economy. There's nothing wrong with that, if that's what you have to do - but you are 17 about to graduate from high school - you don't HAVE to go that route. Be selfish where it only affects you - not an innocent new life.

no
have fun.
for the rest of us that it's to late for.
Please.

you're going to go to college AND take care of a kid? hunny GOOD LUCK is all i got to say, I'm a full time student and work part time...tell me how youre a)going to support a kid b)WORK(bc you're going to NEED to do this to support a kid) and c) be a full time college student bc it is NOT easy...i think this is an immateur and rushed decision that you REALLY need to reconsider..bc once you have this kid...lets be realistic, college is very unlikely to be in your future...have fun working full time and getting no sleep while you're friends are out living it up...just be ready to make those sacrafices bc i'm betting your bf wont

i appreciate all your advice im considering it really hard..even though i know i should just wait..but i really am thinking about it..but if i did have a baby not spending time wit fiends wldnt be a problem bcuz i have none ((i have acquantinces..however you spell that lol)) all they try 2 do is break me an my boyfriend up..im pretty sure a real friend wldnt say things like they do

as a parent at 19, i can tell you how hard it is to cope with a baby. my son is 7months old now, and even though he is a joy ot be around and i love him dearly, i miss having the freedom to do what i want when i want.
i miss being able to take a shower at whatever time of the day without having to make sure someone is home to watch my son, i miss being able to go on the computer, go see my best friend, spend quality time with my boyfriend when i want to.
i dont have alot of friends, and i am only in contact with my best friend now, but i miss the freedom i used to have.
your 17, youll be missing out on so much! your always going to meet new friends, i met close friends when i started working, and hung out with them more than my school friends when i was working.
youll find out who your real friends are, and who are just losers.

trust me, you will miss out on alot, and miss out on your freedom like you would not believe. my 7month old son is now starting to crawl, climbing on things, trying to eat stuff off the floor, grabs at everything, goes to bed close to 2am, and wakes up at 7am, i rarely have the freedom to go pee when i want! my days consists of watching treehouse tv, changing a dirty bum, getting baby food sneezed on me, having baby drool all over me, comforting a crying baby, playing games, laundry like you would not believe, cleaning, dishes, etc. and it goes on and on, and you never get a break when you become a parent.

sure you wont miss hanging with friends, but believe me, the freedom to do as you please you will miss.
we are only young once, dont purposely end your youth at such a young age.
enjoy your freedom and youth hun.
you have forever to plan a baby.

ask yourself why you have no friends..are you putting more interest into your boyfriend...this does happen, i've lost a few friends from this, they seemed to take their relationship with their boyfriend more serious than a friendship with me, yet when their relationship ends, of course they come crawling back...you say you want to go to college..this is a GREAT experience and you will meet so many new amazing people..why rob yourself of this experience because you want to be a mom so young? being a mother can wait..college is a ONCE in a lifetime experience...personally, i'd put off motherhood and take that once in a lifetime experience, i'm sure you'll be a great mom...when the time is right and when you are capable of supporting yourself and your child

I got pregnant when i was 14 yrs old and had her when i was 15 i am now almost 18 and she is almost 3. i love being a parent it is really hard work and all your freedom goes right out the door if i were you i would wait a couple years
