First of all, I think your way too young to have a baby.

My mum and my older sister fell pregnant at sixteen and it was very very hard on them. They didn't stay in their relationships with their boyfriends, so basically they had to raise their baby without the father.

I only just turned seventeen and trust me I went through a stage of wanting to have a baby too, but from what my mother has taught me about her experiences made me learn that I'm way too young to handle raising a child, it wouldn't be fair on the baby.

I think you should wait until further on down the track you settle down with a good partner and then discuss raising a child together.

yep i agree with ebonyh, you need to wait until you are older i mean in theory you are still a child yourself, well until your 18 anyway Jenny

Being that you are 16 years old and want a baby. That alone says you don't have a clue about the troubles a baby will bring. You or you BOYfriend. I emphasized the word boy for a reason. Have you ever thought that the reason you aren't pregnant is not because you can't have a baby but rather that it isn't meant for you right now. Have you ever heard the phrases "Curiosity Kills the Cat" & "Momma's baby Daddy's Maybe?" Babies at your age are not all they appeat to be. Why do you want one so badly? I assume for all of the wrong reasons. 1. They are sooo cute. Depending on genetics: Maybe, maybe not. 2. I can take care of it! I seriously doubt that. What is your annual income. Do you know that 1 can of milk is around $15.00 a bag of pampers the same? Can you afford $300 a month on milk & pampers not including the other basic needs. 3.He will help. Maybe, maybe not. Hes the dad and you're not married. He can jump ship whenever hes ready. 4. If I have a baby he'll stay with me. Uhh no. If anything a new baby puts a major strain on any relationship. You haven't even begun to live your life. What about school & being able to go the places you want to go without haveing to find and pay a babysitter. Let me guess mom will take care of it She has nothing else better to do. Or would it be my baby's daddy who can go and come as he please because we're not married. There are so many things out there in the world that you haven't even begun to see and havent' even thought about. But you want a baby. Forget waiting til you're 18 wait til you're at least 24 lets hope by then you have better judgment.

I surely agree with (MYTHOUGHTS)i'm 16 also and I wanted to become pregnant because of the cicumstances here in my life. That was only until I got educated on what it would take out of me to raise a child. It does seem really hard. When I told some people that I wanted a baby they started to spazz out like you want what, like I was even crying at somepoints because of what was said. It may seems like there is nothing to do much with having a baby, but it is when you have no job, no support from family and or friends, no boyfriend/so called or not to be around. It's a stuggle I watch my sister thats 25 with 2 kids first at 18 and things aren't so easy. So think that one over and the right judgement with give you a hint that you so should do somthing more intellectual and not get pregnant. Lots of things will be cut out.
I have a few friends from the ages 14-17 thats pregnant now. They dont seem to happy and most of them weren't planned but still sex = babies. Parents aren't happy yet some are some support some putting their kids out.

Love i was 21 when i had my 1st baby it is so hard dont matter what age you are you need a man a job money house then nappies then baby milk if not breastfeeding, i feed my 1st baby then bottle feed my 2nd it was $40 for 2 weeks if your lucky then you have close shoes day care and what happens when the baby get sick.Please think about 16 your still a kid yourself.. Thank before you do

A lot of teens get the urge in there uterus you know thats what my mom calls it when you think babies are cute and you want one. but the thing is babies are serious you haven't been on this earth long enough to raise a child and give it the opportunities every child should have sweetheart. Think about what you want for you child, are you in the position to give it. Make your desire to have a child a catalyst for focusing on school since I'm guessing your still in highschool go to college, maybe gradschool and focus on putting yourself in a position where you can give your child the world and not have to lack anything in life. Give you and your boyfriend time to experience life with one another and grow and mature. My parents had children young and missed the young adult stage in there life because they had to work three jobs and never saw each other for more than a few hours at a time for those years. they have been together for 25 yrs and love us but still regret not realizing their dreams. They are just now at 45 and 46 being able to enjoy being in their relationship with one another without the strain of having to do for their children.

my dear,u are still a child yourself,i strongly think u should wait a little longer.God really has a reason why it still hasnt come to past.tipcynasty.
