I want a baby |
| I am 16 and my boyfriend is 18. We want to get married when i turn 18 in 2009. We really want a baby..im not sure why but we really dont wanna wait. We have tried to make ourselves believe that we dont want this yet but we really do. I already know that my parents would be supportive because i took a test that showed positive in september and i told my parents but oops it was a false positive. ANy suggestions...things i should do to prepare?

| From experience, I will tell you that as young as you are, having a baby at 16 is foolish. Trust me, I thought so too. There are too many reasons to count. Sure having a baby you and your friends can you can ooh and ahh over is cute for a while, but babies are also expensive and time consuming. Regardless of how adult you think you are, you are still a child yourself, until you are 18. I agree that it isn't wise to wait until its too late. Atleast, for your own benefit, please wait until you can atleast vote, until you get out of school and explore your options, until you get out on your own and get all the "running" out of your system. I really hope that you will consider what I am saying. I know not everyone's situation is the same, not trying to be negative, but realistic...ask yourself this...do you have your own place? are you married? do you have a good enough job to support a child, or are you going to depend on government programs? Hopefully your parents will urge you to do the same, not encourage a child to have a child. Please think about this

| Im 16 and having a baby,im almost done in November i'll have my little bundle of joy and so will his dad.Me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 years almost and i moved in with him and his family the third day not wise but i was really happy with him.His family loves me and they are also very happy they said about time.we are getting married but not yet.We love each other alot we have are differences but we get through them.We are very happy that we're having a kid,we have everything ready for him,i had a very nice baby shower.But you have to consider if you'll be able to take the pains of pregnancy and the throwing up and the crying all the time.You also have to consider the money problem.I spent 3,000 dollars on the crib changing table and clothes diapers and lotion and bath products and stroller and car seat.Thats alot of money right there,diapers and wipes aren't cheap.They go through all that stuff in a short period of time.And you have to consider if your going to stay with your boyfriend.How long have you been with him by the way?And does your boyfriend have a good job.Will you have enough money to support you two and your baby?Theres alot of things to consider before having a baby.Im not against you having a baby but think before you do talk it out.And also think of the pain you'll have when you give birth.medicine or not you'll still have pain.so good luck on your choice.
