Pregnancy Info HOME

hey girlie im going through the exact same thing. im 19 and a full time student as well as have a part time job. my bf is 24 and has a full time job that pays well. he wants to get married soon and we also are in the process of TTC. i kno im young but this is what we really want and if u know that this child is going to be your life and ur ready to take that on i say go for it. im in my 2nd yr of college n goin to be a teacher too. esp bc of ur dad being sick i think thatd be a really special thing for him. i say go for it :) its nice to know we have the same feelings

yeah i think that you should totaly go for it!!! i am 19 too and i have a 1 year old. i mean if i could have had my dad and mom see my son that would have been the best but my mom past away when i was nine and well i have no idea where my dad is haven't seen him since i was 7 years old.... so i had no one special to share it with not even the father!!! anyway i say go for it...

WHAT!?!?! Your original post says your father is very ill and now you just said you haven't seen your father since you were 7?!? Anyway if you already have a child, hasn't your "father" seen it?? And if you are studying to become a teacher, proofread your writing : )

hey girl. I think skyeblue is confused, i think she should re read what she wrote...i'm pretty sure that you and sjdjcf aren't the same person..haha but I was totally in your position at that point in my life. I got married when i was 21 and really started to want to have a baby. My father was never ill, and i'm sorry to hear that, however going to university and having a baby is hard. First, being pregnant and have a sore back, not fitting in desks, sickness, is hard to deal with. Second once the baby is born, with daycare, staying up late feeding, trying to do homework and get to school is also very hard to do. I've been there. I believe that if you want to give your baby the best attention and start is deserves you should wiat, just cause you cant give your baby tons of attention when your finishing school. Out of everyone i know that when to university pregnant, i'm the one who graduated, everyone else dropped out. So just be aware of the hardships ahead. But if you feel that you can accomplish it go for it hun! Good luck hope you find what you are looking for...

Ha you are right! My bad! oops. sorry!!

HELLO, MY NAME IS MARIAH I AM A YOUNG TEENAGER DOESNT MEAN I DONT KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG YOU KNOW. YOU ARE GROWN AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN HANDLE YOURS AND THATS GOOD I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE A BABY, WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE READY BY THE SOUNDS OF IT. WELL JUST PRAY ABOUT IT THEN TAKE IT FROM THERE :)

jwatson, no matter what you think it will be like- it will be harder!! No matter your age, I don't think anyone knows if they are "ready". You and your husband definatly need to talk about life as it is now & know that your life & relationship will change forever w/ a new baby. I am 25 years old. My baby boy is 3 mths old( my first). I love being a mom but I work full time & "balancing life" is much more difficult than I ever could have imagined. My husband and I love each other so much, we are just learning as we go. I can tell you that it is definatly a strain on a relationship but i think anything in life that is hard, will make you stronger. It is so bittersweet but he is so worth it!!

If you have a baby at age 19, you will force yourself to grow up early. Wait just a little longer, just a couple of years, and you will find that the world is friendlier to you and your baby. Plus, most husbands like to say they had a few years of "alone together" time with their wives.

My question would be how good is your marriage? No one can really answer this question for you but I can share with you my experience. I got married when I was 18 to my high school sweetheart and we had our first baby just after a year. So I have done the young married couple and young mother thing. For me it was the best thing! We have been married for 12 1/2 years and we now have 4 kids. Some young people don't stay married so that is something you have to know deep within yourself. Good luck with your future & God Bless!

I would suggest getting pregnant until you are atleast 6 months away from graudating. Why put in the complications of pregnancy and children. Get it done and over with and things will be so much easier. You are still very young, and having a child may see like a priority, but I would suggest waiting. I have been there. In your exact situation and I waited, and I am glad that I did.

Old post but please please dont become a teacher. Especially an English teacher.

You should wait. Wait until you're out of school and after you guys get married and have some alone time with your soon to be husband. I'm 21 with an 18 month old. I love her to death and wouldn't change it for the world but if done over I would have waited. It's so much easier to just go and hang out and even go to the grocery store without a cranky toddler kicking and screaming the whole time. Just wait a bit and have fun being young. Don't grow up too quick. Your 21st birthday is coming up and it'll be nice just going and experiencing that atmosphere without feeling guilty having a babysitter and having to wake up for a 5am feeding!
