Why do you want to get pregnant? You are only 17, you have your entire life to live yet.

Hey im not exactly sure how old you are but if the previous poster is correct and you are 17 then please please dont fall pregnant. Having a baby wont take away lifes problems and actually can cause more.

Wait until you have experienced life alot more and done some of the things you might have always wanted to do e.g college, travelling. Im not saying that you cant do this after you have had a baby but it will make it alot harder.

The most common question i have to ask you...... why do you want a baby so young?? Is it because you want to feel loved/needed/wanted?? Do you want to have someone else that you can love?? When thinking about this question....... please be honest with yourself!!

I HAD AN ABORTiON LAST DECEMBER AND I REGRET DOIN WAT I DID.. MY MAMA SAYS I WASN'T READY BUT I KNOW I WAS.. MY BOYFRIEND STAYED WITH ME THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE THING.. HE SAYS HE WANTS ONE TOO.. I KNO THAT I AM READY.. JUST BECAUSE I WANT A BABY THAT'S NOT GONNA STOP ME FROM ACCOMPLISHING MY GOALS THAT I HAVE FOR MY FUTURE.. iTS NOT THAT I WANT TO FEEL LOVED.. i JUST WANT A BABY... I'VE BEEN WANTING ONE EVER SINCE

Bottom line is....I cant tell you what to do, in the end it is your decision. My only concern is that your wanting to have a baby to take away the regret that you had the abortion. Having a baby will .N.O.T take away that regret and the pain that you feel with that abortion.

Have you thought about going to counselling to help with the abortion??

Whatever you choose I really do wish you all the best, I just want you to make sure that your doing it for the right reasons.

Wanting a baby straight after an abortion is something alot of women experiance, including myself. Its not rational thinking, and its very hard to ignore but having a baby now is not the greatest idea. Sure, you could still acomplish things, but how much? how much more difficult would it be? its easy to say now that it won't stop you but you can bet that will change once it is born. Theres tons of oher reasons why its not a good idea

You have plenty of time, why do you want a baby at 17?

edit- the person above me said what i was trying to say alot better!

iM NOT SAYiN THAT i WANT TO HAVE A BABY TO TAKE AWAY THE REGRET... i WANT ONE B/C iTS WAT i WANT... i KNO THAT MY BABY WOULD HAVE EVERYTHiNG THAT HE OR SHE NEEDS... EMOTiONALLY, FiNANCiALLY EVERYTHiNG.. iM NOT HERE TO ARUGE WiTH ANYONE... AND U KNO WAT UR RiGHT.. U CAN'T TELL ME WAT TO DO.. i JUST ASKED HOW LONG iT WOULD iT WOULD TAKE FOR ME TO GET PREGNANT.. ANYWAYS THANKS FOR WiSHiNG ME GOOD LUCK

Unfourtanetly because of the situation and whats been posted I refuse to make comment on how long. I am sorry.

Your doctor will give you the information you are asking for.

Hey, we dont want to argue with you either, we want to help you..... In order to help you I just wanted to make sure you knew exactly why you wanted to have a baby? And for you to realise that its not going to be an easy road ahead, as someone said in another post, its not all about showing them off and dressing them up.

Seeing a doctor will help you get the answers that you are after.

Goodluck and all the best for the future!

I want to express how very proud I am of everyone's responses... and I must concur. Your doctor can give you the information you want; we can't give it to you in good concience.
