Im 21 and I want a baby really bad but I
know im not even ready yet and im do think
im old enought I have worked in child care
since I was 16 and that helps a lot but
dealing with children all day is very
stressing. Wait till your married. I
collect dolls they look really real they
are so cute some are lee middleton dolls I
started to collect dolls to get that I
want a baby out of my system it helped a
lot. Might seem dumb but a doll cost a
lot less than a real child. I will have
one of my own one day.

If you want someone or something to love
buy a puppy 
.Babies are forever. Ask married couples
who planned for months and months for
children it is hard work that doesnt stop
,forever!! Babies are cute and fun but it
doesnt stop there. 1:00, 3:00, 5:00 in
the morning they dont care if your tired
or sick they need you 24/7 please wait
youll be happier that you did!

Puppies also are forever, you can not
discard a puppy when the fun wears off.

Wasn't so much that you offended me, just
that I see so many abandoned dogs and
other animals. I just wanted to make sure
no-one else thought along those lines -
i'll get a puppy then when i'm done I can
turn it out.
I think if possible kids shuld have pets -
it helps teach them responsibility and
gives them a sense of self worth that they
are needed by this creature.

It is not guanrateed that a man will stick
behind when you become pregnant or even
when you have the baby that is just one of
the risk we all take when making the
decision of having a baby.

I'm 18 now, but I have wanted to be a mom
since I was 15. My sister had a baby
when I was 14, and I helped to raise him.
I know it's not the same as having one of
my own, but there were days when she would
be gone all day and all night, and I
watched him. I loved every minute of it,
and would love one of my own. I'm not
married, and i'm not rich or anything, but
I would love to get pregnant.
I'm not saying an early pregnancy is right
for everyone, but I believe some people
can handle it, and that age is just a
number.

Hey!!! This is to everyone I guess. Wow
everyone has so many diffrent opinions!!!
Well, i'm 18 and a few months ago I got
pregnant (not planned) and had a
mis-carriage!! I didn't think it would
bother me so much...But now it seems that
the only thing that will make this pain go
away is to actually have a baby. I'd like
to hear everyones opinions on this one!!!
I have a boyfriend (we are very much in
love) and i'm out of school. I'm going to
start writting classes soon and my
boyfriend has a steady job and is in
nursing school. You guys give me your
opinions...Help me out. I just can't deal
with this pain anymore!!! Help

I would start trying again sweetie. I
know what you mean...Knowing that you were
pregnant...And then having that taken away
from you. I wanted to get pregnant right
away too, after my miscarriage.

i am not gonna knock you on that, it is
ultimately your choice. Choose wisely!!!
How does your other feel about this
situation? Just know that it is going to
be hard. I am 22 years old and I have a
6,5 and a 3 year old. Other and I had to
bust our a$$es to finish highschool and
then college. Not easy with three small
kids. If you do decide to get pregnant,
make sure that you have a support system
available to you. It will be nessesary.
Our fist two pregnancys were unplanned,
but we knew we wanted a large family so we
choose to have the next at that time.
Try volunteering at your churchs daycare
and see how you do with the babies. Good
luck to you either way.

And how you deal with babies for more than
just a few hours... Like having a baby is
not babysitting

Think First..

All I have to say is think of your
future.. Really sit down and think about
all aspects of having a baby.. Being a
single mom is hard.. It is even harder at
a young age. I have a friend that got pg
at 15. I understand that you are 17 but
that doesn't change the fact that the
"daddy" could walk away at any time and
now that new baby is your soul
responsibility. My friends baby's daddy
was there up till she was four months old
than puff.. There was new butty in town.
It can be done she graduated high school
and college and now has a good paying job
at 22. Please sit back and think of that
baby. What if you loose you job and you
can't pay rent.? Or you want a new pair
of sneakers and the baby needs formula..
It will no long be what you want but what
that baby needs. All I am asking is that
you think of five years down the road...
When he'she needs new shoes are you going
to have the money to buy them or will they
be wearing the same pair that are three
sizes to small..? If I came across abrupt
I am truely sorry that is not what I
meant.. Please just logically sit and
think of yours and this babies future..
Best wishes..
Ashley

I think it is natural for young women to
have the desire to have a baby, however, I
believe it is selfish to bring a new life
into the world when you know you could
give it better later on. When I was in
highschool I never ever thought about
babies! I was so in tune about getting
off to college and partying with my
friends. Now, im 20 yrs old and 22 weeks
pregnant, unplanned. This is incredibly
scary, and I know I have a long haul ahead
of me. This is not what I wanted for me
or another life, but I will make the best
of the situation. Its one thing if you
fall pregnant, its another to try.

I know this may sound harsh but get a pet
instead!!!! Being a mother is 24 hours
labored job. At 17 you haven't even
began to see the ways of the world so how
can you prepare your child for the ways of
the world? How can you teach a child if
you are still learning yourself?
Younger kids wanting to be parents is
children trying to fill a void in there
life thats why I suggest getting a pet.
To raise a child your life needs to be
concrete. You need to have a good paying
job cause an average child takes 65,000
dollars to raise in a life time, a house
(not your momma's) your house for the
child to have a home, a car children have
doctors appointments all the time, food
milk, pampers, all of this has to have
$$$$ to buy its not given. Im not
saying that young children can not be
great mother my mom was one of them but
she made a mistake and had to, you have a
choice!!! I hope this helps

Hey tinkerbell
having a miscarriage is hard, i'm not
surprised you're upset, but you should
think about counselling to help you come
to terms with the miscarriage rather than
getting pregnant again.
Why don't you leave it for now and have a
long think about what you want to do?
There's no harm waiting, and a baby is a
lifetime commitment you know!

I'd just like to say that pets are not
cheap. They are about the same as babies.
I'm sure plenty of you will disagree with
me but I don't care. I have 2 chihuahuas
and a pit bull (and a baby on the way).
I've spent thousands of dollars on my dogs
in less than a year. You can get
insurance for children and baby showers
but for dogs no showers and insurance for
them is ridiculous. Dogs are like kids.
They will ruin everything you own, get
into everything you don't want them to get
into, and no matter how old they get they
never understand you. Dogs are just as
much work. I know you prolly think i'm
crazy for going on and on about dogs but I
watch animal cops and I feel horrible for
the poor abandoned animals. Make your
parents get a dog and just play with it.
Enjoy youth! And don't ever ever ever buy
a chihuahua. They're soooooooo much work,
and pit bulls really do get into
everything. Ok, don't know where all that
came from. Sorry!
