Hormonal to want a baby as a teen?

Question

I am 14 and every so often I keep wishing I had a baby. I dreamt once that I had a baby, and the next day, all I could think about was that I really wanted a baby. I know that I am only 14, and I am not going to have a baby, I was just wondering why I felt like this. I felt so weird on that morning :S As if I was supposed to have a baby or something stupid like that. Please don't say to me 'You're too young.' I know that, and I am not planning on having a baby any time soon! I was just wondering...

Answer 1

hm

that is kind of weird...

i've seen that before on a talk show

it can just be the fact that you like babies and want your own..  

Answer 2

You seem to have such a loving instinct. I am 25 and getting ready to have a baby in the next couple of weeks. I am scared. I have been a nanny for 2 families and I think doing that really gives you the real feeling. You should try doing that for the summer for a family. It really gives you the feeling of being in charge and being the #1 care taker for the children. Even though its not the same feeling of having your own its a great learning experience and you make some money doing it! I have always wanted to be a mom my whole life. I thinks its normal for you to feel this way.

Definately try the nanny or babysitting thing. It really helped me and my mommy skills!  

Answer 3

Answer 4

it is an hormonal thing to want a baby, it's a maternal instinct, i understand i am 15 and i every so often really want a baby, but i won't have one  

Answer 5

It just your hormones, your body feels as if you want to have a child when you know that you shouldn't.  It can get annoying, it gets really bad for me, so yeah.  I know what you are going through.  Don't think to much of it, just don't act on that thought.  I know that you are not going to have a baby and that's good because yes, you are too young.  

Hope I helped ^^

Answer 6

jjust hormones

dont llisten to tthem

Answer 7

i would say that these fantasies are hormone related, there is nothing wrong with having dreams as long as you dont act upon them, but it is a very exciting feeling not just of having a baby but the infactuation feeling, almost like you are flowting all day your heart beats faster its hard to concentrate and every thing seems to be positive. for you this feeling is due to the desire of having a baby for others it might be due to a crush or a taboo dream. this feeling and want will go in time, you never know next month you might dream of being with a classmate or teacher, it doesnt mean that you will act out on your fantasies, it is just something uncontrollable, and very normal

Answer 8

Hormonal?  Maybe, but I think it is instinctual.  

Since you are old enough try baby sitting.  You will get to hold the baby and all the other things involved with babies that you will do as a mother.  During this time you will be getting training as a mother without the full responsibility of being a mother.  Plus there is the money. :)

Either that, or you will find out that being a mommy is not all it is cracked up to be.  May even realize that being a mother is not for you. lol  Give it a try, you might like it.  Many girls do, even some guys.  I started to baby sit at ten.  Then went into child care as a father.  Loved it.

Answer 9

you may just naturally be a nuturing person and like the idea of having someone to take care of. you sound like you understand that there is a difference between the fantasy and actually having one.  yeah it could be hormonal or maybe just something to fill a void.

Answer 10

Seriously don't have a kid.

You're gonna ruin your whole life.

My aunt had my cousin at 13 and she so regrets it.

She wished she would've waited longer.

Your life will never be the same with a kid.

Trustttt mee.

Answer 11

I remember when I was in high school I was "ready" to become a mom.  I had a serious boyfriend and I just dreamed of having a baby, starting a family and becoming a grown up.  I look back now, (I'm 44 with 2 daughters) and I feel like 22 years old, when I had my first child was so young too!  At the time I felt "old" and grown up.  

I think that at your age, and when I was your age, the thoughts of having a baby might be related to hormones.  Since your body is preparing itself for that, it could be.  I'm no doctor, nor a psychologist, but that would make sense.

It could be related to something in your life.  You might be desiring something to cuddle and love.  A mother's love is the most overwhelming emotion!

I am glad you are being mature and choosing to wait in spite of your dreams and feelings.  That will make all of the difference.  I went back to college after my first child and I really envied all of the students who were able to enjoy all of college life without the obligations.  I was too devoted to my daughter to feel comfortable leaving her to go on an exchange trip or something like that.

Answer 12

Well I think we reach that time where we can do it all. I want to do it all now. I dont want to wait to settle down and wait for my life to be perfect I want it now! I was 15 when I got pregnant with my first Im 21 now and we have 2! But I dont now I think every girl goes through that. It is just whether or not you have the will to pull through it.

Answer 13

Yes. I can remember being 16 or 17 and thinking how much i would love to have a baby, and sometimes it was kind of a strong urge. It was so weird! but i think that it's just hormones starting to zoom around your body. they'll regulate soon and you'll realize that it's your crazy ovaries and not you that want a baby.

Answer 14

It's perfectly normal. That's your maternal instinct.

Answer 15

I have felt the same way, and I am 14 also. When I get the feeling I always have a daydream of going shopping with a kid and deciding what I would but him or her. I know it is weird, but it's true. One thing that stopped me from wanting a baby is my nephew that is 4 months old, sure he is cute but when he starts crying I want to rip my ears off! So, instead of wanting a baby right now, you can try and settle for babysitting. Good luck : )

Answer 16

Yes, I've wanted a baby before. But I am definitely not having one any time soon. Try babysitting and then you will learn you don't want kids for a while. lol
