Am I too young to have a baby?

Question

I'm 15 and I really want a baby. I think I might already be preggo cause my b***s are sore. I'm on the pill but I've taken it a day late 2 days this week. My bf doesn't want a kid but he said if i accidentally get preggo he would be okay with it. I kinda want to stop taking the pill and not tell him so I can get preggo. Any advise? Please help!

Answer 1

if u wanna talk a little more in private about this i can help you email me at [e-mail]

Answer 2

You're most likely not pregnant since you only missed 2 days of ur pill, u'd have to miss way more.

Once you have a kid the partying stops.....think about that...

Never trick someone into having a kid, thats an aweful thing to do.

like everyone else said 15 is far too young, you still have a lot more maturing to do, trust me, you'll understand when you get older.

If you have a child now u'll end up depending on your parents for everything.

You should at least be living with someone if you are going to have their child, i don't think your parents are going to let your bf move in with you.

children shouldnt have children!!! please don't get pregnant now....

ALWAYS USE PROTECTION!!

Be safe!!!

Answer 3

Yes...You are too young. Think about when everyone is going to prom and graduation parties and all the other stuff kids in high school do. You will be sitting at home and then have to hear about all the fun things that happened the night before or what's going to happen next weekend. Plus, a baby is not something you should bring into the world unless you are old enough and stable enough to do so. You also shouldn't even try haveing a baby unless it is with someone you really love and care for who loves and cares for you the same. I know there are a lot of people your age that think they are in love, but you're not. People that are in love are not dishonest with the person they love. And wanting to stop the pill without telling him, is extremely dishonest. You have a lot of growing up to do before you are ready to take care of another human being. Just worry about finishing high school, and having fun while doing it!!

Answer 4

oh no sweet heart, i had a baby at 15 and trust me its hard and you should wait until you get married! your still a teen, live you life the way it is and have fun

Answer 5

Trust me...once you actually get pregnant and have a baby your gonna wish you had waited!  I mean haven't you head all the stories about young teenage mothers? You are way too young to have a baby. That's great that you would want one (one day) but wanting one (especially at your age) and actually having one is two totally different things! Babies look cute and fun, and they can be, but they are sooo much work! Your no longer get to go out and have fun regularly like you used to, ALL your money goes to your child and bills, and you hardly sleep, you don't get much privacy, and much much more! (And its just worse when your young!) There is no way you are gonna completely understand what it means to have a baby, unless you actually have one. But take it from me and all the tons of other people that will tell you not to get pregnant as a teen, PLEASE DON'T DO IT! Its not that people are trying to tell you what to do or boss you around, people will only tell you to not get pregnant and become a teen mother for your own good! So please listen!

I PROMISE you that if you wait till you are older to have a baby, you will be glad that you did!

However, if you think you are pregnant, you need to take a test and find out. If you are, tell your parents and start getting help now.

As for your boyfriend, if he told you that he doesn't want a child, then listen to him! Just b/c he said he would be okay with it if it happened ACCIDENTALLY does not mean that it would be okay to try to conceive. DO NOT go behind his back and stop taking the pill just to get pregnant, that is selfish, conniving and just plain wrong! Trying to get pregnant just for yourself or just to keep him around will not work out how you think it will. As a matter of fact, having a baby period is not gonna be like how you envisioned it. It is all most certainly gonna be much different. Seriously, take all the answers you get to this question to heart. We as parents (you know the ones who already have kids) know exactly what we are talking about.  

Answer 6

you are seriously way to young to have a kid. you have you whole life ahead of you. you are just in high school what about what you want to do with your life. once you have a kid at such a young age you have to put all that aside. are you ready to do that?

Answer 7

You aren't too young to be a mother, but I  honestly hope you aren't. When you have a child, you will have to put aside what ever dreams you have for your life and do everything you can to care for that child.  While being a mother is a worthy job, at your age, there is so much that you will miss doing if you are pregnant.

Answer 8

what in the world is that kind of question!!!!!!!! ?????????? STOP NO DON"T DO ANYTHING BUT BE A 15 year old kid concentrate on school dump your bf and get a good life ....you only have 1 don't mess it up!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

You're way too young to raise a baby just yet.  You've still got some growing up to do.  Live your life so that you are better equipped to take care of a baby.

Answer 10

You would have a 14/15 yr old when you turned 30!!!

That is not normal.

Having a child this young affects so many more people than just you.

Your bf stated he does not want a child.

Is it fair to your mom and dad?

You aren't even legally able to have a job yet, or drive alone!

Your parents would have to step in.

If they wanted another baby- they would have one on their own.

It is ridiculous to think that you can take care of a baby on your own.

If you get pregnant now, what about high school?

What are you a freshman?

What about college?

Did you know that 1 out of 4 jobs require a college degree?

How are you to raise a child with a fast food job?

That's what most 16 year old end up with.

And, what if your guy decides he can't handle the pressure?

what if he chooses to just be there for the baby?

that means no one will be there for you when your upset

when you gain 25 lbs of baby weight and your belly is covered in  stretch marks, your feet are swollen and you can't sleep bc of heartburn

who is going to be there for you?

what about 2 am feedings?

when the baby has diarrhea?

or what if he/she gets colic?

are you going to stay up all night with a screaming sick baby and then go to work?

Is your mom going to watch the baby for you?

who will pay for day care?

and food?

are you going to go on welfare because you couldn't wait 6 years to have a baby?

Why can't you wait?

Why can't you get a babysitting job or work at a daycare when you are of age to work?

Instead of making a decision to make life harder than it has to be, just wait.

You are 15 years old and having s*x.

isn't that a big enough deal as it is?

Why bring a baby into this world when you yourself, just became a teenager

Babies deserve moms and dads that love each other enough

and have given themselves time with each other

you and your bf need more time to be just the two of you

when the baby comes there will be no movies with just the 2 of you

no picnics

no time for just the two of you to just laugh and talk

Reconsider.

Answer 11

I was 17 when I had my son! Take it from me it was so hard!!

Here was my day...

I'd wake up every 2 hours or so & feed him, then get up at 5am & get me & him ready then try to feed him one more time before we left...But he'd always scream going down the road, cause he wanted the rest.

I'd have to be at the baby sisters at 7:30 so I could make it to school in time. School started at 8:15 & by that time I was so tried. I couldn't focus on school cause I was always worried about my baby.

I'd leave school & 3:15pm, rush to pick up my son from daycare & take him to my grandma so I could be at work by 5pm. I worked from 5pm-11pm. When I got off work I'd go pick up my son, try to put him to sleep so I could get my homework done. Then try to get a little sleep through the night.

Hun, its so hard! I'm not telling you this to scare you its the truth. And the money I made went to daycare & diapers. Then I was broke!

Take this time to be a kid!

Answer 12

just think about it.... when you finally do have a kid,and they turn 15 would you mind them being pregnant? how would you fell if your daughter came up to you at 15 years of age and said mum im pregnant,im sure straight away u'd think shez too young... i say leave it for a couple years for your sake and your boyfriends,think about how he would feel,you both have to agree becoz after all you do need his support azwell....

well good luck for the near future sweet!!!

live life to the fullest!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 13

um.. yes you r way to young.. maybe you should get a real job pay bills get a house finish highschool go to college get a car.. how would the bf beable to take care of a kid and you yourself yall would have to depend on yalls parents for everything.. your way to young to even think anything like this just be a kid for once so many out there arent able to and you should not be thinking about all this...  

Answer 14

Not to p**s on your parade or anything but your b***s are probably sore because they're still growing. Better luck in a few years, sunshine.  

Answer 15

You are too young to have a baby!  Where do you work? How much do you make?  I hope you are at least making about $22.00 an hour.  Babies are very expensive.  What about going out with friends and parties, babies are usually not invited to parties.  Don't count on that boyfriend to hang around for the rest of your life, most relationships that start when you are a teen do not last but a couple of years.  Try getting a puppy instead, they demand your time and can be a responsibility.  Feeding, vet appointments, housebreaking, and training.   I had  my first child when I was 20 years old and I wish I would have waited. I got pregnant right out of high school and I missed a lot of fun times just being young and doing things with friends.  You really need to give this a lot of thought.

Answer 16

You will be much happier if you wait to have a child.  You need to take care of your education so you can get a good job and support a child when you are ready to have one.  Good Luck.

Answer 17

If your boyfriend is saying he doesn't want a kid but will be okay with it... that sounds way to uncertain for me. You might want a baby, but think of all the things you will have to give up at your age. Going to movies or hanging out with friends will be replaced with late night feedings, diaper changes, doctor visits and a new job for you to be able to buy clothes, toys, diapers, bottles, formula, food, and insurance for that beautiful little baby. You will be nursing a sick baby while all your friends are out being kids still. Don't rush the growing up part. Before you know it, you will be all grown up and wondering where your childhood went. I suggest staying on the pill and waiting until you are emotionally ready for such a big commitment. Coming from an adult may not mean a whole lot to you right now because you probably think I don't really know how you feel... but believe me, I was there at one time too. Please rethink your choices! Best of Luck to you in whatever you do!

Answer 18

Ugh!

I know exactly what you mean. I'm not pregnant and I'm not sexually active. I'm 17. But about a year ago before I started thinking about college and what was out there for me before I jumped on the mommy train I wanted a baby. Your body goes through this constant cycle every month and it's ok to bleed but it's not ok to want a baby? Na.. it made me want a baby so much. This past year, my sophomore year, I took Planned Parenthood. It's with the baby think it overs. It cries periodically and is as heavy as a newborn. It's head falls back if you don't support it and it's exactly like a real baby!

My baby, who I carefully named #8 because he annoyed me so much (#8 was the baby number that I got), cried every 2 hours on the first night I kept him. On the second night he cried every hour on the hour. It made me change my mind about having a baby so soon. Plus now I know what's out there for me concerning college.

To all the young moms out there I tip my hat to you. I had a fake battery operated baby for a week and had to go to school with it! I have no clue how I survived.  

Answer 19

You do not want to have a kid at 15! It may sound fun right now, but trust me it is so much work and money and more often than not the boyfriend leaves you, so you have a baby and no "father" to help you!  You can always have  a kid in a few years, just wait it will be so much better!
