Q: How Old Do You Think That I Should Get Pregnant?

Hello,

im new on this site, so pardon my story.. And my babbling.. I just want to spill the feelings out.
Im 17 years old and im a senior in high school. I do have few friends that already a mom or is currently pregnant. I become jealous when I hear hteir news and it make me upset. I love my boyfriend very much but then I know that my boyfriend want to finish school.. (hes a junior but hes 17 also and will be 18 in june). After I get out of school I have couple of month of breaks "summer break" as what you would call it. Therefore, I would be going to college for 4 years to get registered nurse (assoicate degree or master degree). I do not have patience but he also mention that he would want to have money to afford the baby supplies and stuff like that. I assumed that he dont want me to have welfare system, and I do really understand that. Im engaged with him and I really really love him and I do respect his high expectations in his life. We are planning to get marry in couple of year after he graduate from school. Well how old do you think I should get pregnant?

Im weird though because the first time I lost my virginity.. I was stupid enough that I got urinary tract infection. I would get them by sex and not going to the bathroom afterward. Well I told my mom that I assume to have uti and she didnt really want to be mad or anything but then she took me to the emergency room to get me check up with pregnancy test.. Well it was negative and stuff like that. My mom want me to be on the pill and I denied that I dont want to be on the pill, but then I consider again and I went on the patch for like 3 days. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he got freaked out and I got really weird later in that month. Well I told one of my teacher that I really really trust and the test came negative. Then again in june... Had to take another test.. It came negative.. And recently in september.. It came negative. Every time I took the test.. I got really upset and frustrated but im glad that im not but inside of my heart, I really really do want to be. I have to be patience for a while. I do have patience... Sometimes I dont' lol

its really really annoying and I have been depressed because of my jealousy around my boyfriend cousin who is also 17 and is a mom (she never take care of her baby, and I would just wish to snatch the baby away from her and take care of that baby but her fiancee is really nice and sweet.) life is hard and its depressing lol ..

Well girl, to me it just sounds like there might be something missing in your life. But trust me, unless you are ready for it, having a child is not going to satisfy you until you are truely ready. I am so scared for what is to come. Yeah, you see other people and hear their stories, but its starting to become a reality to me. I mean, you gain a lot im sure with joy and everything, but you also lose a lot. I think you would be better off by waiting until you are through school. Just waiting will make you appreciate the child even more. Ill pray for ya Smile

Well

I am also 17 and a senior in high school. My best friend has a 2 year old and she is 17 I also have 3 friend who are under 18 with a child each, in face, one of them has to children. I have had the same feelings you have had, and the only decision I have come to for myself is that I am not sure that I want a kid yet, i'm not saying that I wouldn't be happy if I did get preggy, I just mean that I am not trying to get preggy.
You should think long and hard about your decision and do what is right for yourself, just make sure that you are prepared to have a baby before you get pregnant. But like I said, the most most most most importnant thing is to do what is right for you and your child (if you should concieve) all the girls are very helpful on this site. I',m sure that will have some great ideas. If you needa talk, i'm here.

Love,

Hey,

i am the same way as u wanting a baby. But I dont have a bf and all that like u. When I have sex than my peiord os late I am happy but scared as u. My old friend had a baby and I was sooo jeolous of her. She had a perfect kid and she didnt care she was a good mother but at nite every nite she would go out partying and caca I would get mad at her like you have a a kid you have to be mature. I know I would be a great mother. My mom and nana both think so too. I am 16. I know I am young to have a baby but I just get this love and it makes a smile on my face when I see babies. Like when I would see sonja and her baby mya I wouldbe so happy and play with her (she is 16 months old) I am so upset I wont be able to see her again cuz me and sonja got in a big fight. I missed my peiord I am 4 days late. I am just going to wait for another week or so than take a test. I am on birth control but I forogt to take one I went to bed earluy and forgot and I didnt think garry cummed in me cuz it lasted only like 5 mins or shorter. And he told me he did cum in me last sat.

Anyways I better go ttyls

Lala Yes.. Its Depressing Sometiems

Well I do agree with you guys, I should wait but im waitin for more advices lol um.. I was thinking about something though... My aunt on my boyfriend side of the family said that I would be a great mom and she really really want me to concieve (to be pregnant and have the baby). My boyfriend already know my craveness and does know about his aunt saying those kind of things. It really bothers me but I do know that one of these things I would eventually get pregnant because im on the pill and my boyfriend finally trust me and stopped pulling out. Although he does make sure that I take the pill lol

Heya..

Everything happens for a reason...

Time will tell with whatever happens...If its meant to happen soon, trust me babe, it will...As for me it was an *untimely blessing* (well, I got awhile to go, but I am sure it will be lol)

i dont kno ya but im sure you would b a great mah. I am a baby myself, I dont even do my own laundry, so I dont kno how im guna deal...

But to get to the point, I did suggest you finishing your schooling, probably because thats what I wanted to do, and am still going to do my best at it, but if you think you are ready, that is totally you girl.
