Q: Does Anyone Regret?

Does anyone regret getting preg. At a young age? I mean, because of problems with the baby daddy, parents, or school?

I don't regret it, but I sure wish this could've came at a future time. Im 18 and just started college. My boyfriend and I are having major problems. I cry almost every night worrying about becoming a single mother and not being able to give my baby everything she deserves.

Hey, i'm 16, and 5weeks, I know not that far but still kind of a big deal. I don't regret it, but I wish it would have been later in life, but that was my own fault, but I love my baby all the same, no matter who old I am. I have no problem with the dad me and him are still together, he is more happy then I am. He just wants to tell everyone. And no problem with school I do it at home. But the problem lies with my grandparents they don't know. And I don't know how to tell them, I live with them so I have to tell them some point...

But you need to think about you and the baby, if something happens and he doesn't want to be there always think that it is his loss... Becase is that happenes you will meet someone one who is great with you and your baby. Thats all you should think about. Yes I understand it is probley very veyr hard for you right know. I know i'm not much help but I did the nest that I can. Jsut try to make the best of it and sit down with him and talk about everything and see how he feels about everything that is going on... Sorry again that i'm not much help but I tried...

well, my bf is very excited and anxious too. He's already bout so many baby items and i've only bought a pair of booties! (i'm 28 wks) I know he is happy about the baby; his mom just past away, he doesn't have a dad nor brothers or sisters. So he considers her his only family. Next month we'll have 4 years together. I think it's just me though. I just want him to be more affectionate, more caring, and more close. He says he is, and that I just have mood swing problems!
Maybe I do argue a lot, but it's only because I need him more now. Should I continue to try to make things better? Or is this relationship just too old that our love is falling?

Help!

Hey,

you know with being pregnant I have heard from like my moms friend and that she said that with most women who are pregnant they feel people arent that close to them, and they want them closer because she said its kind of a scary point in your life. A lot of it might be mood swings. I would say work on it becasue after the baby gets here you might find he is there for you more then what you thought. And it sounds like you and the baby are all he has, but with his mom passing away, he probley still feels from that. So it will be hard for him. But at this time in life you both need to be there for eachother. You shouldnt be sitting up at night crying, or anything else. Yo should need to make the best of things right now. And when she gets here you might find it will being you and your boyfriend alot closer. 4years is along time, but the stress of a new baby, could be alot of it for both of you. So just work on it. And when she gets here see what happens. But just try to tell him that you feel you need him more then you feel he is right now and if he says he is, then just say to him, that you feel he isn't that much and see what he says. But at this time you need eachother more then anything. I wish you both the best of luck.

Again sorry if I didn't help that much.

actually, you've helped a lot. As I was reading your message, I realized you're right. I should think more positive and try to make things better instead of just crying it out. You're right. I guess I just needed someone to say something positive in order for me to gain strenght again.

I really appreciate your advice.

I didn't plan my pregnancy, but wish it could of happend later in life. I've had to change a lot of plans for my future, that I wish I could of gotten finished before I had a baby.

Now since I am pregnant and am due in feb. I wouldn't change it for anyone or anything. I can't imagine myself without my baby.

Mumof2 how could you say that you regret your kids... How could anyone ever say that. God there are girls 14- and up that have kids young that would never sit there and say that you reggret them. And you call your self a mom, god i'm 16 and due in may I may not be that far but I would never sit here saying I regret him or her.... I mean I could see if you said you wish you would have waited later but never the word regret... Do you sit there and tell your kids that? Like god... What kind of mom are you...

Not to start anything, but really...

There is a difference between having regrets and not wanting/ loving your children...... Try reading it with grown up eyes......... I said I regret having my kids....... I didn't say I don't love them....... I do believe the question was do you regret having kids at a young age........... Not do you regret having kids at all......... I have post natal depression....... So yes I do regret having my kids...... I did not say I wish I didnt have them....... But when I think about what I go through every day and what my children have to go through every day I do think I would have been better prepaired if I was older........ So I stand here proud and say I regret having my children at a young age........... I also say I love my children

Oh god.......... I forget that there is no emotion behind the written word....... And that ppl only read things the way they want to......... Every one is intitled to their own oppinion......... But to attack some one because they are honest about their feelings and how they think is wrong......... No I dont tell my children that I regret having them at a young age, I tell them I love them, because I do........ I made a mistake and I am dealing with the conciquences of that mistake........ Just because you have a regret about doing something does not make what you done wrong, it just means that you are grown up enough to realise that you have done something that not only effects yourself but every one around you......... (when I said "but any one who says they have no regrets about what they have done is a fool............" I was refering to every thing in life......... Not just having children.......... Every one regrets something, not saying something , not doing something, not meeting someone......... I regret having my children at a young age because of what I am going through at the moment.......... I don't expect every one to feel that way....... I dont need to be attacked for feeling that way either
