you are far to young esp with a 22 year old guy finish school first then get a job first. if he loves you he will wait to have children hun.

Thanks for your advise.
Yeah i think he would wait as i finish school next year and i may see what things are like then.
But still abit unsure,i dont even know if i'll be able to have kids!

Hi
I got pregnant at 16. My son is now 4. I think you should definately finish school first, try to get lots of experience with babies and young kids. Anyone you can babysit for ?
You have many years ahead of you to get pregnant. I wouldnt worry about not being able to get pregnant unless you were over 35.
Honestly, find something you love doing and go do it. Enjoy your life as a teenager and young adult as much as you can before you have a child.
A baby will take over your whole life, its no longer about you, its all about the baby and what the baby needs. They come first in every single decision you make once you have them.
They dont stay babies very long either. Are you ready to deal with a toddler, pre-schooler? You wont have grown much yourself by the time they reach that age.
Think about what you can offer a child, what kind of life can you provide for it? They need much more than love.
Also once you make this decision you cant go back on it. Having a child is a life long responsibility, no matter how old he or she is you will be a mother for the rest of your life, and have all the responsibilities that go along with that.
At 15 you're so young, you have no idea. I thought I had it all figured out too, thought everything would be great and all that. It isn't how you imagine it to be.
What if your boyfriend leaves you? Having a baby wont keep a guy, and it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.
Think about it.

i think you should have a stable life before you start trying for a baby, like a job for starters otherwise you'll be on benefits (not that theres anything wrong with it) and will struggle. its better if you're older, have a home, a job, etc. i know that even if you're older it's still guna be hard, but i'd wait a bit.

i think you are see im 17 and i wish i could have waited ...at least have a job, and car first...babys are difficult to take care of this is my first and when my frd had her baby i helped alot but it is hard work and you shouldnt have a child with someone u havent been with for a really long time b/c guys lie and u really never kno when you will be replaced

Live a little first, huh? Get a job, go to university, travel places, whatever.

there are alot of things to think about.

will your moms insurance cover YOUR labor and delivery?
how will you get insurance so that your child will be able to go to the doctors office?
Why is your boyfriend so ceen on having a child but not getting married?
how will you afford diapers, food, and clothes?
how will you afford a crib, a high chair, multiple car seats?
who will watch him/her while youre in school?
who will take him/her to the doctor when he's sick?
how will you pass school if you miss so many days with feeling icky or when you have him/her?
are you ready to have people looking/poking at you vagina every couple of weeks?
do you know what you can and cant eat while pregnant?
do you know if you want to breastfeed or not?
do you know the benifits of breatfeeding or not breast feeding?
are you ready to gain weight and not look like you used to for the rest fo your life?
are you ready to tell not only yur parents that youre pregnant, but his as well?


theres alot to think about.

The very fact that ou are here asking if you are eady says to me that you're not. I was 15 when i fell pregnant and i had my daughter two weeks after my 16th birthday and it is so so hard and i have it much easier than you because i live in the uk so i didn't have to worry about health insurance because we have the NHS, we finish school at 16 so all i had to worry about there was doing all of my final exams before Mika was born. If i were you then i would wait until you can say to yourself that you are 100% ready for this because once a baby's there it's not going to go away. Having a baby isn't all cuddles and games, it's cracked nipples from breastfeeding, no sleep, stretch marks, no money and barely enough spare time in the day for you to go to the toilet in peace

Hi,
I don't know if your still reading these posts cause you posted your question a while ago but i'm gunna reply anyways!
I'm 19, and have a 15 month old daughter.. I've been lucky in a way that i'm still with the father and we've been engaged for over a year.
Honestly, i think you should wait!!....It's completly your desicion but your still so young, you have so much more living to do! Having a child means your responsible for them 24/7.. no going to parties, no staying up late (unless it's with the baby), no going on random road trips whenever you want, no more girlie sleep over nights.. there's a lot of things you wouldn't be able to do anymore! I never really considered all that when i got pregnant, not that i don't love my daughter.. but sometimes i wish i would have listened to everyone and just waited. It's a very stressful job being a mom..even if you have supports like a bf or parents.. you can't always depend on them, YOU are the babies mother and YOU are responsible for them. I wasn't finished highschool when i got pregnant, but i'm lucky that there is a young parent program in my town that gives you the opportunity to finish highschool, but that doesn't mean i can go college right away now that i'm done. College costs money, and guess what.. so does a baby!.... anyways, i'm sure i've gotten my point across.. just wait! get out there and live some more! finish school..go to college, get a job you love..then think about having babies, you'll still be young once you've finished all that!

i think u r wayyyyy to young
my mom had a baby 3 years ago and i saw how hard it is so to actually raise it
trust me ur way too young wait until u r done with school and have a stable life so u can offer your baby the life it really desrves

I have a friend who planned her baby that she had at 16. She's happy with him and her (now) husband. But because she had him when she was 16, she had to get her GED instead of finishing school and had such a hard time taking her nursing courses in college. It will be so much easier if you just wait 2 years (when you turn 1 to finish high school at least. Think of all the things you'll miss if you're hasty. And I'm not saying wait until you're married or anything, because you never know what kind of issues you might have with your fertility. But at least wait until you're an adult. And then if anybody gives you a dirty look or comments on how you're too young, you can look them in the eye and say, "I'm an adult. I can do as I please."

I had my first baby at 17 and I don't exactly regret it but I wish I had waited longer. My baby would be 1 1/2 now but I gave her up for adoption. One thing I can tell you is that unless you both have a job and are finantially stable and you have a place for the baby to live and are ready to give up your whole life then I would wait. Though I am not your mother I am a mother a teen mother. Now I am 18 pregnant again and I am scared but ready.If I were you I would wait.

hi, i had my first baby at 13 and it was not my fault. I am 15 know and have a lovely boy(aged 2) and a baby on the way. I think that u should wait a while motherhood is not all it is cracked up to be.I find it hard and so will u. Leave school, get a job and see were things go from there.

just because your mother had concieving issues does NOT mean you will! you are a child... unless it happened accidentally WAIT!
