I just wanted to say that although I love my son and as happy as I am to have him here I wish I would have waited a little longer.
When I stand over his crib I think about the nights with Mike I'm not going to have anymore. Yeah, we'll still be able to be together at night and things like that but it won't be the same. We're not just a couple anymore. We're a family...we're parents.
Having a child is a great joy but at the same time it's an enourmous responsibility that alot of people aren't really ready for nor do they completely understand how much work it really is. You think you can handle it but honestly, so few people really can. Even when their position is better than yours, it's still very difficult.
Napping when the baby naps sounds easy but by the time you get him asleep enough to lay him in the crib it's already been awhile. Then you gotta make sure you have bottles made. Then you finally lay yourself down and depending on how long it takes you to actually fall asleep, you probably won't get all that much in before the next feeding.
Parenting never stops, even when they're asleep or someone else is watching them. It's so stressful you can't really prepare yourself for how difficult it is.
After the first few nights with Aaron, I'm taking every precaution not to have another child for a few more years. It's so draining.
Yes, I wouldn't trade my son in for anything in the world but I really wish I had waited a few years.

I think you should wait a little longer, I know exactly what you're feeling seeing I'm brooding something awful but I'm 17 and it's a considerable difference to give birth at 18 than 13. You're body isn't developed enough.

[`Sakura] Hello everyone! smile , Im currently 14 years old, 15 in a couple of months. Anyway lets get to the point, Im ready for a baby, i think i would make a wonderful mother, I know what i wanna do when i get older, and money isnt really an issue. I was thinking about having a baby around 16 but im not so sure yet, I wanted other peoples opinions. What are your thoughts? go for it if 1. you can comfortably take care of yourself (you work, not your parents or your boyfriend) 2. you can comfortably take care of your baby (you have a caregiver set up to work aorund your schooling and possible social events) 3. you're in a stable, safe environment for your baby 4. your body is actually physically capable of having a child (c sections might not hurt [as i've been told], it stil can complicate things if you're a small thing) other than that, i cant think of any other requirements. this is just a concerned gaia buddy tellin ya to cover your bases!

Size does not equal body maturity. I'm still child-sized at almost 20.

I don't think i could handle a child until at least 27-ish just something to think about... i also wouldn't want to be forced to care for an unexpected child, i mean i would try but the situation would be bad, i would need a job i could live with and a girlfriend that i loved and i would at least have to be going out with a girl for 2 years and a half to know that i would want to be with them for the rest of my life, take into opinion what your boyfriend wants, i personally doubt that the father would be able to cope.

First off, if you're okay with it, make sure everyone else is okay with it too, especially the father. Second, GET AN EDUCATION FIRST! I got pregnant at 17, had my son at 18 and I'm in college trying to get a degree in anthropology. I know wanting a child is something you want but try to live for yourself first. I always wanted to travel and see the world but my chances of that happening soon are null and void now. I'm going to have to wait til Jandro is older and even still...It's hard being a young mom it really really is.
It's really your decision but make sure your parents and the potential father is okay. I'm a single mom, I left the dad. But it's working out great because when you're a single mom you call all the shots. I don't recieve child support or anything like that from him. He doesn't visit him either. So it all depends on what you want and how everyone else feels about it. But you must absolutely find a way to get an education. That is the key to success and easy living.

I'm 13, and have a month old baby girl
Wait. Wait wait wait!
I love her to death but I would've waited.
I think anyone under the age of 18 should not he a child.
