dont have sex at 16
didnt your parents teach u what sex does??? i am 22 yrs old and i have 2 kids under 1 1/2 yr old. they are 10 months apart.

do u realize how many dirty/wet/diarea diapers you'll be changing in the first 4 months??? A LOT.

Labor hurts REALLY BAD and crowning feels like your gonna die and i screamed when my son was being born i was fully aware with my daughter. i had epidural both times too; cramps with a period is just a slight example on what contractions feel like times that by 300 for active labor if u dont have epidural. i dunno what it feels like to deliver a baby without meds but im sure its hell

im 19 have a 7 month old son, you have no idea what you are wanting to get yourself into.
taking care of a baby is alot of work mentally, physically and emotionally.
they are also very expensive. you arent even done high school, what do you have to offer a baby? a part time job will barely make ends meet, and trust me, your parents will not welcome the news with open arms right away..
i had a horrible labour, 15hours or longer, i was snpped down there and stitched up, i could barely walk, i had to have an enema done because i was backed up from having the epidural.
everyday is a struggle to get by.
i have no freedom to do what i want when i want, and sometimes i wish i could do what i want when i feel like it. but i have a son, i have respinsibilities, i have certain things that need to be done and taken care of.
you have your whole life to have and PLAN a baby, dont throw away your youth and freedom so quickly, youll miss it when its gone.
take this time to be a good cousin to your cousins baby, spend time with the baby, baby sit, play laugh enjoy the new baby with the freedom of being able to leave responsibility-free and come and go when you want.

Hey 19!
Hey ProudMommyof2008...is there any way I can get you to talk to my 19 year old Niece who wants to have a baby??? I know just telling her the black and white facts about cost and what it means to be responsible won't get through to her. You make a good point about losing your own childhood....

You should get a baby doll and a tape of a crying baby. If you play that all night long for a few nights, she may rethink having a newborn of her own Smile

wow! well lets see if i have the facts right

1. your 16
2. jobless
3. you didnt mention a boyfriend or significant other so single im gonna guess
4. you live with your mom
5. you still in school
6. you cant spell

so all of those facts i come up with this! your a single,jobless teenage wanna be mom who lives at home with mommy. that just there already sounds bad. a baby isnt easy and it def. wont be for you. i have my first at 20 i had been married for 3 yrs my husband and i both had AWESOME jobs [he still does and i have the best job ever im a stay at home mom] and now im 19 weeks pregnant with a lil boy. do you think thats easy?? HELL NO!! i get no sleep havent since she was born,poopy diapers,keeping the house up,fixing dinner,paying bills,buy clothes,shoes,socks,diapers,food,etc. you dont even have a job.....how do you expect to pay for a child if you cant even pay a way for yourself?

go get a pet a something. i dont know what the fad is about getting pregnant but its hard nothing about being pregnant or labor or pushing a 6-10 lb baby out of your vag is easy. dont get me wrong i LOVE getting pregnant and i LOVED having my daughter,i did it natural no meds PERIOD!

think about it your body will NEVER EVER be the same again
