Did you ever think of having a baby, or even have the desire to have one so young? Would you have "purposefully" gotten pregnant?

just wondering, because I'm going crazy. ever since I was about 15 I 've wanted one!! At 16 I found out I was pregnant, but it was too late because I miscarried. After that the baby fever hit me really bad, I would give up everything to be pregnant again!!

I never thought id have one this young..Nor did i wanna have one this young but i wouldnt change it for the world now because i love my little boy more then life itself...I would never purposely get pregnant...I had a rough time throughout my pregnancy because it was unplanned..I went through alot with his daddy...

No way, not me. I always figured I'd have 2-3 kids some day, but I never figured I'd start as young as I did. I figured I'd be out of school and maybe college and married and everything like that, and then I'd have kids. So getting pregnant at 15 and becoming a mom at 16 was definitely not something I planned on or wanted to do, and I spent most that pregnancy going "I can't believe this is really happening, not to me and not now." I spent the first couple months in big-time denial trying to convince myself I wasn't pregnant and all the symptoms were something else - anything else. alkl i could think was "I'm waaay too young for this." Even right up til Reesi came, I couldn't imagine myself having a baby and being a mom. But it wasn't long after she was born I couldn't imagine myself not having her and not being a mom, and I don't even want to try.

I didn't purposely get pregnant with Alexis either, but I wasn't anywhere near as upset or scared when I found out I was pregnant. My reaction reaction was more like "uh-oh, looks like I did it again."

I did want to have my first before I was twenty. My parents were older when they had me and I guess I kind of wanted to go the opposite way.

[beckii]

I had baby fever when I was around 15, but it passed. Soon after I wasn't sure if I ever wanted to have kids, and if I did, not until I was close to 30.

I would have never gotten pregnant purposely as a teenager, my daughter wasn't planned but I don't regret having her.

i got pregnant when i was 19. a little older and it wasnt planned.. i wanted to wait a few more years and get settled b4 having kids... when i saw babies when i was younger 16 or w/e i of course wanted one but i wanted to wait , i never wanted to have one young bcuz its hard.. i am so glad i never got pregnant b4 i did bcuz i got to finish high school and get a job and save some money and ya things are going to be hard still now, but not as hard as they could of been... i have respect for all u girls who had babies 15 and 16 and are doing so well... u shouldnt try to have a baby so young, enjoy ur teenage years, u got plenty of time to have babies.. believe me ... i dont regret it , i cant wait to ahve my baby and i wouldnt change it for anything but enjoy being young cuz once u have a baby things change!!!

I'm 17 and expecting my baby boy in September...My pregnancy was not planned. At first I was really shocked and scared. But once the shock wore off I was fine. As the pregnancy progressed I became more and more excited. After the very first sonogram, after getting to hear the heartbeat for the first time, or feeling him kick the first time. I can't wait now. But I still think about everything that is going to be different now that I am a soon to be mom at such a young age. I wanted to go to a big university, I wanted to live my life and have fun doing what I wanted to do. Now my plans of going to a big university are gone...I mean I could still go...but it woulnd't be the same as it would have been. I don't get to go out on the weekends anymore with friends whenever I want to...I will always have a baby waiting on me at home. Like I said, I am more than happy now...but if I could have waited I would. Play with a friends baby or babysit sometimes...You can spoil them and send em home when you get tired of them. If you have your own you are stuck with it.

I definitely wanted one really bad. It's all I could think about. I told my BF and we talked about it and he said we could TTC in October. Well, as you can see, we accidentally conceived way before then.

Its not necessarily something that i planned...but then again it wasent something i tried to avoid...in the beginning of me and my boyfriends relationship we really did want to have a baby...esp. after my best friend got pregnant and had an abortion...that brought us closer and we actually started to talk about wanting a baby.....me and my bf never used protection throughout our relationship..so i guess thats were the not trying to avoid pregnancy comes in....and after 2 1/2 years(you can only imagine how physically and emotionall draining that was every month )....we moved in together and not even a month later i was pregnant....i guess God had everything planned for me

[KrissyJ]

If you mean "purposely" as in getting pregnant by "accident" without your fiance consenting to having a child. Thats wrong. You dont want him to resent you or the baby so you shouldn't force it on him until he is ready. You may be ready but it seems like he is not. Nothings worse than being tricked into a situation you don't want to be in.

I did go through baby fever when I was in my teens and I did have unprotected sex but I thank god I didn't get pregnant then. I just wasn't in the right spot in my life to bring a child into the world. Now I'm still young only 20 but I am in a serious relationship, I've graduated both highschool and university with honors. My DF and I both have wonderful careers and we have the means to care for a child.

I know many "unplanned pregnancies" work out and they dont regret their children and would never give them up for the world but depending on your situation it may be selfish to TTC.

Whatever choice you make in your life is your choice to live with whether good or bad, I just hope you take the time to wait for your DF to be ready to have a baby, that will be the greatest gift to your child. Good Luck either way hun!

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.

I thought babies were cute when i was like 14 or 15 but that quickly passed when i babysat my sisters god daugther when she was 3 months old and i found out how demanding babies were. When i got pregnant with Isaiah i was 16 and defintly didnt want a baby then. Ofcourse we had no one to blame but outselves considering we had sex without a condom and we were drunk when we had sex. I didnt want a baby till i was married, so in my 20's somewhere.

With Aaron we did try and get pregnant so yes i wanted to have a baby then, i was 18 years old.

But as much as i didnt want to have a baby at 16, i wouldnt change Isaiah or Aaron for the world.

Oh and also im no longer with Isaiah's father. I broke up with him when Isaiah was 4 months old.... Kenric is Isaiahs adoptive father and Aaron's bio logical father.

Ok first off-- thankyou everyone for reading my post

Secondly I am 17 almost 18, in grade 12 and I am in a very stable trusting/loving relationship.
My parents could NOT refuse me meds while in labour, because legally in Ontario at 16 you can start making your own decisions. If I got pregnant now I would be 18 by the time the baby was born & I would still be in school anyways( i'm staying an extra year for extra credits).

Nothings worse than being tricked into a situation you don't want to be in.

That is not what I mean, I mean making a decision to try. I am not trying to force him into anything, he wants a baby too. I am in no way "trying" to become pregnant right now, but if it happens ... it happens
I would be happy either way. I was merely saying I would like one.

[KrissyJ]

Sorry if I offended you but in your original post, you said he wouldnt budge therefor he does not want a baby at this given moment in time. Doesnt matter though later.

Okay sorry , I did not mean to portray it that way. sorry if I offended anyone

[tinkerbaby06]

I didnt plan on being pregnant this early.... Not at all.... Nor would I ever have tried to purposly get pregnant this young..... Its hard and I have not even had my babies yet..... I wouldnt change it for the world now that I am, but my advice is to wait. I would wait until you have your life on the go... until you are married and with the one you want to be with permanantly.....

[stacy19]

i never thought of having a baby now. im 19 and in college and i always told myself that i would wait till i finished school and was doing well before i had kids. i would have never purposely gotten pregnant but now that i am i wouldnt change it

[momma06]

I wanted a baby but not so young. No way would I have gotten pregnant on purpose. Way to much stress, drama, money, time, you don't get to do what you want to do...etc....I would've rather waited until I was ready emotionally and financially. I'm glad I have my daughter though.

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.
