in your other post you said you WERENT ready for sex...do not do this if you aren't sure..wait for the right guy and wait for the right time..dont rush into this..you'll regret it...also..how old are you? can you support yourself? do you have a job? your own apartment? if you cannot support YOURSELF do NOT think about bringing another life into this world..its a terrible idea...wait until you can give this child the life it deserves...get a puppy for now

you dont have any babies in your family? i would suggest you babysit, or visit your family member.
what makes you want a baby so bad?
i had my son when i was 20, and i m 32 & my son is now 13 years old. and let me tell you they are hard work. you have to commit your whole life to this person for 18 years.
i know babies look cute.....but they grow up!!

You have plenty of time to make babies, but one this time to enjoy the perks that come with not being a parent. I have an 8 year old daughter (whom dont get me wrong I love to pieces) but children are more then a full time job. I would hope that you have had more time with a child then just looking at a friends baby and seeing that its cute. They throw up on you, the pee on you, theres diapers, skin infections (which cause non stop crying btw), and of corse the chance of a colic baby (which basically means they cry nonstop for no particular reason) But back to your original question, if you are not sure that you are ready for sex, firstly that means youre unsure of the person youre having sex with to some degree, and if thats the case you shouldnt be making babies with them, and secondly if youre not sure you can handle sex, what makes you think that you can handle a human life that is 100% dependant on you?? Sex is the fun part about babies, if youre not sure that you can even handle that aspect of it, you should not even be considering child rearing. Sorry if im a bummer, but I would rather rain on your parade then have you bring a life into this world that you might end up resenting....

i remember i went to work and came home at 6-7pm & my son couldnt stop throwing up. i was in the emergency by 9pm, home by midnight with only a few hours to go to work.

my son's father and i was separated, he would bring my son back with diareah, or ringworms. i would always have to take off of work. he lost my son's medicine. no matter how irresponsible my son's dad was i was the one picking up the pieces.

i couldnt go to work unless i had money for daycare, my family didnt help me much, they didnt even give me a baby shower.
it was so hard for me and i struggled a lot when my son was young.
my son's dad is a crapy dad, he's sometimes M.I.A, But my son thinks he's the greatest guy in the world.

now he's 13 he's in the hormonal attitude stage.
your not thinking about everything that can happen.

my son's father tried to sue me for child support b/c he used to get him for the summer.
i have one kid, and slap me if i ever change my mind about having more. lol

I have to add that the responsibility doesn't stop at 18. My oldest is 19 and once they get into college life gets really expensive. You never stop loving and worrying about them. Yes, they are precious gifts, but very expensive and cause lots of stress. Until you are in a stable relationship with a secure job and decent place to live, get a hamster.
