Wait. Wait wait wait.  I am 23 and I don't have a kid.  I got married about 7 months ago, and I can't even imagine having children for 3 or 4 more years.  Have fun.  Be young.  Babysit.  I still do, and that is enough fun for me. Go to college!

Hey I completely understand the want for a baby. In fact the reason I am online right now is because I think I am pregnant. It is really important though that the kid has a father. If you are so in love with your bf marry him, If he doesn't want it don't have a baby with him. I am married, but I am 18. My husband also has a very good job. Make sure you have all the money, and a supporting father. Good Luck.

honestly, i don't think it's crazy. i was raised being told that although teen pregnancy is not the best, it's not shameful either. i don't think having a baby when you are a teenager ruins your life. a baby is a gift no matter what the age. everyone in my family has been a pregnant teen. i was born to teenagers. my parents got married soon after they found out i was pregnant. they had planned on getting married before then though. the women in my family do not regret the fact that they had a baby when they were the teen. maturity comes early to those in our family and i definitely think that's what has helped us. get the support from your boyfriend first. then discuss if it's right for you two or not. be prepared for what is going to go on.

You are absolutley right. I am also 17 and mature for my age.. Not only is it irresposible to have a baby right now but it isn't glamourous. My best friend has a baby. Once you have a baby it stops being about you. Your boyfriend may love you now but when stuff get stressful and hard people grow apart any you both have not been together very long. Nothing is wrong with having the feelin like you want a baba but it isn't a need right now. Also you need to think about the baby he/she needs to be brought up in a home where you both are able to care for him/her to the best of your ability :D . take care God Bless... I understand where you are coming from 100% because i was faced with that decision. Make the better choice.
