Q: I'm Stuck
asked by: smoothiesRyummy on September 13th, 2006

I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. For months and months i've been yearning to be pregnant and have a baby, and I can't stop feeling that way. I thought it would go away but it hasn't. I don't know where these feelings are coming from but I know I really want it to happen.

Seeing other people with babies could make you feel that you want to be a mom and have a child of your own. How old are you? If your young you probaly might want to wait until the right time. I dont know. Whats your age?

i'm 16 and I know it's young but I don't know. I mean, it's not like i'm necessarily going to live till i'm 80 and be able to have lots of kids. If I want one now, is it really that bad? I have a car, i'm going to get a job, I have a boyfriend.

I'm not going to lie or sugar coat it.

It's a stupid stupid stupid idea. Please listen to people that are actually there.

It really is a bad idea. You have no idea. A car and a part time job are just the most basic aspects of teen life. And by most basic, I mean everyone has that. Having a baby is a huge responsibility. Get a cat. Get a dog. Get a goldfish.

Go out and have fun. Go to the mall (without pushing a stroller). Go to the movies. Go to dances. Hang out with your friends. And all the while you are doing those things, remember that when you have a baby at 16 you don't get to do stuff like that.

You have plenty of years to be a 'grown up'. And only 7 years of being a teenager. It goes fast, enjoy it while you don't have any responsibility. That will all show up soon enough.

A baby is not the answer to any question you seek.

Ingi is right, although I go out occaisionally the rest of the time I have baggage and I should have waited till I was older. I was 19/married but even then it is still hard, I dont have the patience and id rather be working/improving my career which im doing but coming home exhausted/mentally exhausted to kids who need me.

It is a normal feeling another suggestion ask to babysit someones kid for a few days and get a little bit a real life expierence.

Trust me, babies are a lot easier when you can give them back. I am 19 and married and have a 4 month old and it is not easy. Having a car and a boyfriend does not mean you are ready for a baby.
