Pregnancy Info HOME

i would say no because there's so much you can do while you're young that having a baby will make harder for you. you can do even more when you're 20 and 21 and even if you wait until then or a little after, you'd still be a young mom.

Trust this, when you live at home, and are underaged, life seems so easy (even if you disagree). Wait until you at least get of age, get out into the world where you have your own place, struggle to pay your own bills, and when you see how hard that is-ask yourself if you want to have a baby. It seems doable now, because life as a teenager is so much easier, because your becoming independent, you're dabbling in adult lifestyles and choices, but you still have everything taken care of for you and have a safety net, but it's not that easy. Also hunny, think beyond a cute baby-young adults and older women have the highest chances of having troubled pregnancies and disabled children. What would you do at 15 if you had a special needs child who was always sick, always in need of special medical equipment, etc. How would you manage that, gooing to school, working to maintain insurance and money to pay for everything, etc. etc. It is a major possibility that things aren't going to be as great as you think.

oh yeah, and doing on line school is great, but it doesn't mean that you have complete room for a baby. I have a baby and take cla__ses online, and I'm still up all-night just to stay caught up. My day usually consists of squeezing in work, and taking care of my son, getting nap with him, and I can't do homework when he's up because he wants attention, and he needs this, and then he thinks the computer is the funnest toy in the house so he wants to jump on it. I put him to bed at nigh and realize I have so much I have to get done and usually don't get to bed until 4-6 in the morning. I get up at 8, 9, 10 in the morning and start all over. The only days I do get to go to bed early, i'm up at 3 in the morning for a bottle feeding and I get on homework. I don't get a break when sick, I don't get a break when I have pushed my body to the breaking point-there's no break because the baby never goes away. Even if you think someone else can watch him for a little while so you can sleep, youdon't get the kind of rest you got before because you know your baby, though he's having fun, feels most comfy with you, and wants you, and you feel guilty. So really, if you want all of that instead of doing all the fun things that are right in front of you for the next ten years-go for it, just enjoy not being able to go to that party, or go on that date with the cute boy, or annoying a potential boyfriend because you keep getting interrupted by calls from the babysitter, enjoy not being able to get wasted for your 21st b-day, and never getting to do anything young and fun because you are now responsible for someone else-all the time.

No. Wait until you are married and stable financially.

Yes like all the posters have said...wait until you are financially stable and completely independent.

I respect you comming for advice before making a rash decision, but most everyone on here is already a parent and if you talk to anyone with kids they will tell you to wait it out. I have 2 kids< i have been pregnant 5 time the three others were miscarriages, i raised my niece from the day she was born until she was about 3ish, i was 15 when she was born, i am 22 years old with a 3 year old and a 13month old, my husband and i both work full time go to school. It is hard work! It is all worth it and i would never change any of it, but if i knew then what i know now i prob would have waited. (hope that made sence with out contradicting itself) I have to be up every morning at 230am to get them ready for daycare and to have myself at work by 530am. I miss my kids dearly when i am at work and at school> i am still young, and eventhough i have kids i will admit i will occasionally go out on weekends drink and have a good time with friends, but all i think about is my kids and how selfish i feel for not being home with them. usually i force myself to have a good time in my hours of freedom. no matter how much i drink or how hungover i am i still on the weekends have to be up at 530 in the morning because that is when they get up on the weekends. i cant do ANY school work at home because they are rambunctious noisy boys, so i have to do it at lunch and break, and even choose to loose more time with my boys to get to cla__s early or stay late just to get it done. a quick runthrough of my day.....I dont get to bed till about 1130 at nigh on school nights, and 1030 on non school nights. when the kids are sick my husband or i have to leave work early usually loosing us 250 dol for that ONE day...there are alot of things my friends talk about their teenage years that i cant relate to because i had to grow up so fast. my point is is it is a very rewarding job to be a mommy but it is hard work and there is no rush because you can have that rewarding job later as well

having a baby isnt about this cute little thing u can show off to people..i say no..why would u want to have a baby at 15?
