I know you have baby fever. But hold off as long as possible. I never wanted a baby this young. I didnt want to be old either. I thaught when the time was right then it would happen. I would never plan to have a baby this young. Im about to be 20 in a week and I have a 6 month old. But honestly this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Having my son right now at this time in my life. It is no where near easy. I got pregnant while I was on birth control. Please wait until you are really ready. Financially, emotionally, and physically. I wish I could get all the things I want for my son but I cant because we barely get by as it is. You are 15, most places will not hire you and the ones that will arent very good jobs. Im not putting you down. I sort of know how you feel. I had a miscarriage when I was younger and got baby fever afterwards. But I came to the realization that the timing wasnt right. And it wasnt. I was suppose to meet my sons father and I was suppose to get pregnant unplanned. Work on getting your diploma, save up money and lots of it. Make sure your relationship is stable with love and trust and all that. PLease enjoy being young, you wont regret it. And heck if you want a baby still in 3 years or something then go for it if thats what you really want to do. It is a lto better to be a least 18 when you have a baby. You have way more rights in the hospital and afterwards. Since you are still a minor your parents make the choices for you. If they wanted to refuse you having pain meds while in labor, they could do that. Good luck in whatever happens.[/b]

I don't know where you live but in my state once you are pregnant no matter at what age you are automatically emancipated in the medical field. Your parents can't decide anything for you, you are your own guarantor. I had to make my own appointments, decide what kind of birth, decide what I wanted for my child....my parents had NOTHING to do with it. Now in the working world and school wise till you are 18 they have every say in it. I had to get my parents permission to leave school so I could go get MY daughter! I thought that was just down right stupid.
