.You're 17. I think you should wait at least 3 years before thinking about having a baby. How old is your fiancee? How long have you been engaged? Are you living together? Do you both have good, high paying jobs? When are you getting married? Are you still in high school? Are you going to college? There's a lot to think about, &a lot to worry about. I'm 20, pregnant, engaged, &even .I feel like .I'm not ready. You're still a kid. You'll never have the chance to be a teenager again, so take advantage of it while you can. Without having to worry about a baby.

I'm 17 too and I promise you it's a stupid stupid stupid idea. Go live your life instead, your time to have babies is not running out, but your time to be a teenager and just have fun is.

I'm sorry this forum is to offer support to teens who have found themselves pregnant.

The vast majority of girls here would never encourage a teen to get pregnant on purpose - they know now only too well, the hardships they are going through.

So, the message really really is wait wait wait.

If you have to ask - you're not ready.

Things like:
how will you financially support the child?
Stable relationship/role model parents?
Finishing school/college?
Friends/parties?

A child is a life long commitment (well 18 years anyway).

If it's your hormones telling you that you want to get pregnant...Don't listen!

i understand all that and no its not that im worried about I ment to ask if there were any fatal things I should worry about

.......

Don't do it. Seriously. Just, don't.

It is one of the hardest things you will do. At 17 there arn't really any fatal things that will happen due to getting pregnant and giving birth because your body is developed and you are just growing a bit taller really. However I do have to agree with everybody else that you should wait, obviously if this is what you really want to do then us telling you not to won't stop you. I am 15 and i'm 12 weeks pregnant and it is terrifying plus it's not like I didn't use contraception either. If this is what you really want to do then good luck to both you and your partner, but personally I would wait just a bit longer I know that's what I thought I would be doing.

If you want to throw away the last few years of your life as a teenager, then go right ahead. But you're in for a really rude awakening. Just think about it. You're only 17. You do not need a baby. Seriously. Just wait until you're out of school, living with your boyfriend (or married to him) &able to financially support your child. It isn't fair to bring a child into this world when you can't even give him or her what he or she deserves. You're so young. You have so much to learn.

Can you get one of those mechanical baby things to live with for a few days and nights? If you can then I guarantee you will soon go off the idea of having a baby right now.

It's your body and your decision at the end of the day but there is a reason why so many people are telling you it's not a good idea to have a baby so young. Think about it...

Im 17 and I have a month old baby boy, I love him to peices, but I never see my friends anymore, im doing homeschool, but I rather b going to school with my friends, I dont remember wat a full nights sleep is like.. I never go out anymore unless its to see family.. We never have spending money and when we do its put in to making the car better or things reese will need.. Sure my man is still with me, and I wouldnt trade in my life for anything, but I miss being able to go out whenever, and I miss my girls and talking all nights long with em

exactly!!!!!!!!! Im 16.Married w/a 7 month old babyboy.&& when I do go out with my girls,i would always have to bring the baby.I mean I cant just go into the mall and shop.I gotta push a stroller,get through the aisles and what not.When they cry.Gosh.I cant even explain.But,i know they're cute and all.There sure a whole lotta joy.But dont do it!!!.I mean I love my son to death,wouldnt trade it for the world,but its a whole lotta hard work.They need plenty of things.From diapers to vaporizers when they're sick.Its a struggle raising a child at this age.Believe me,you'll have a headache when they sick,when you run outta milk,his medical bill comes.Etc.But I sure do love my babyboy.And would do it all over for him <3 <3 <3 my pride and joy

I didn't think it was legal to get married that young, haha.

with a parents consent in my state it is.

yup

I married .Chris at 17 and had to have my mommy's signature.

Heh.

He just didn't wanna wait

I agree with everyone to wait. I am 19 and 26 weeks pregnant. My fiance is 22. How long have you been with your fiance? We have been together for almost 3 years and its still very hard on us. Even being out of high school and working its hard. Since I found out back in july I have only been out like 2 times with friends and its not the same cause I cant party and just go have fun. We have already spent like $1,000 dollars on baby stuff and don't even have half of what we need. I have some clothes, diapers, diaper bag and basic stuff like that. Even if you think you both make good money it probably won't be enough. Anyway, not trying to lecture or anything lol just telling ya there is more to it than just having a cute baby.

can I see your wedding photos?

Just the fact that you have to ask if there anything fatal about having a baby at 17 means to me you're probably not mentally prepared for having a baby. It shows you don't know much about your body. Why on earth would being pregnant at 17 be fatal? I can't think of a single reason. Most women are done growing and developing around 16ish. Um, I believe that preeclampsia is more likely but it shouldn't kill you. I got pregnant at 17 and had preeclampsia.

It's super cute and all that you want a baby, but ewnjoy being young. Don't a lot of girls have fiances at 17? I never went through that phase, but from the time my older sister was 15 until she finally tricked a guy into marrying her, every single boyfriend she had was her fiance.

I don't understand why people come to these forums to ask serious medical questions. We're people who got pregnant at a young age, not doctors (yet, lol). Use google, you'll get better information. Or do the intelligent thing and see a doctor. And a shrink.

"i" didnt believe there was anything fatal going to happen. But my cousin on the other hand say that I was going to die. I told her no im not im 17 and fully grown. But she insisted that I would. That is the only reason I asked. Sorry for bothering you.
