Im 15 and want to be a mom??

Question

im 15 and ever since i was 12 ive wanted to get pregnant and have a baby. its my dream and i just dont think i can wait any longer. i work at a day care everyday so im always around kids and it makes me so sad noing that they re not mine. but then i realize i can have one of my own. what do i do??

Answer 1

you're 15, don't do it

Answer 2

HORMONES, HORMONES, HORMONES!!!!

Whatever you do, DONT go and have s*x just to have a baby.  Its normal for girls to want to have a baby, because your body is ready for you to have a baby, but mentaly your nowhere near ready.  Your body can reproduce and think, if you were an animal, you would be out looking for the best strongest mate to reproduce with, well, people, like animals, are ready and have those urges to reproduce.  But, at the age of fifteen your not ready to be a mother.  You could not even imagine how hard it would be, on you and the child.   Everything in your body is telling you to find a mate and reproduce, but your not an animal, your a human being and you need to wait until you have money to care for a child, a suporting husband to help raise the child, and wait until you get your life in order.  You have your whole life ahead of you, don't rush things too early!!!

hope this helps.

Answer 3

Ok, you work with kids everyday, but you also get to send them home to their parents at the end of the day. Look, I got pregnant when i was 19 and i was nowhere near ready. I had to grow up fast, give up a lot of my friends, quit going out all together, and completely change my life around. Money is always tight and I don't think you want to do all that at 15. I'm sure you don't make enough to support yourself and a baby, and I'm assuming your still living at home with your parents. That's not fair to do to them. You need to wait til you're definitely out of high school, preferably in a committed relationship, have a stable income, and your own place.

Answer 4

I know you feel like you really want a kid, but trust me I know from experience that it is not the same as when you are taking care of some one els's kids.  You are still a kid your self.  I know how it feels to want a kid, but this is the time you can go hang out with friends and go do fun things.  I just want to make sure that you know that when you have a kid your life changes.  No sleep, doc. appointments, bottle feeding every two hours, changing diapers some times twice in thirty minutes, and then to top it off all of your money goes to formula and diappers.  You will have no time for your self.  Well if you really do want a kid maybe you can ask some one that might want to take a small vacation and ask them if you can watch there baby for a weekend so that you can see what you are getting into before you make your final choice.  If you still want a kid then maybe you are ready.  In my appinion you should wait.  I hope I helped you a little bit.

Answer 5

Ok so that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.  Having a baby at that age is the most irrisponsible thing you can do.  How about you enjoy being in high school and enjoy thinking about hanging out with your friends?  And more so why don't you think about how great it's going to be if you wait until marriage to have s*x and get to enjoy raising a child with someone that truly loves you and is always going to be there for you!

Answer 6

having a baby is not about you!!!!

A baby is ALL about the BABY!!!

There is no way that you can take care of a baby.  A 15 year old has no business having a baby.  YOu have no idea what you are getting yourself into.  YOu need to grow up.  you are a child yourself.  and you are acting very immature. and clearly you're not thinking right. Yes most girls want to have babies but wait until you know you can give that child a good life.  A 15 year old  can NOT give a baby a good life.

Answer 7

get a pet

Answer 8

If you have a baby now you won't be able to provide for it. And Your lives will me a nightmare-not a dream.

If you wait til after colledge or at lease high school you can give you baby a GREAT life. THen you'll dream will really be a reality.

Answer 9

You are way too young to be even thinking about having a child.  I was 21 and I still think I was too young.  A baby changes your life COMPLETELY.  You need to enjoy your teenage years, because if you have baby, you can't do anything on your own anymore, you have to revolve your life around naptimes and meal times, and dirty diapers.  Yes, its great to be a mommy, but you have plenty of time to do that.  Plus, you cannot get a good paying job being only 15 years old, definitely not enough to take care of a child.  You need to wait a few more years.

Answer 10

Since your 15 I don't think it would be responsibe to have a baby.You should get a small dog.You can dress it ,take it shopping at petsmart,take it to pet training classes,and you can baby it.

Answer 11

Remind yourself that at your current age you could not properly mother a child. Financial issues, lack of a stable partner, lack of a home separate from your parents, lack of a body fully develped, and lack of full maturity. If you're feeling this overwhelming maternal instinct, try to foster or adopt young orphaned animal/s from a local shelter. You'll get to be a mom without the extreme responsibility of a human child.

Answer 12

What do you want a baby for ?

Because your unhappy with your life and you think that by having a baby all your problems will go away and you'll live happily ever after ?

Well, it aint that easy love.

I'm 15 and my big brothers 17 year old girlfriend is 15 weeks  pregnant. It's not glamorous.

If you get pregnant at your age, chances are the dad will run and you'll be a single mother. Not many boys/men like the responsibility of being a dad - my brothers an exception. Quite frankly, his girlfriend wouldn't be able to cope without him. She doesn't work, she's not in any form of education. My brothers working for 14 hours a day, 6 days a week in order to support them. Unfortunately, there aren't many blokes like him around. At 15 you wont be able to get a job, how on earth are you going to afford a baby ?

If you get pregnant, as soon as the reality sinks in, you will regret it.

Wait !

Answer 13

you should save a lot of money and once you saved your goal amount of money then you should have kids!

(they cost a lot so your gonna be saveing for a while atleast 3 or 4 years)

hope this helps

Answer 14

go ahead. it's your life.

Answer 15

Maybe you need to get a job at a fast food place, grocery store, etc where kids are constantly throwing tantrums and parents are struggling to deal with them.  That may change your mind in a hurry.

You really aren't ready.  You don't have a job that can support a child.  You don't have a place to live, etc.

Edit: Ok, this question is full of it.  You asked about if you are going into labor here...

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

That was an hour ago, as of this moment.  So, how did you go from being pregnant, possibly in labor, to just wanting a baby?

Edit: No, we don't think of that.  We, or at least I now think you are nothing but a liar.  If you want people to take you seriously, DON'T LIE.  Ever think of that?

Answer 16

So are you 15 and pregnant with twins?

Answer 17

im 12, and it has always been my dream to be a mom. i babysit, and that sometime isnt even enough, but once you have your own baby, itll be harder when you need to pay the bills and the diapers and watch them every single second. People come to your day care because they cant handle it. Some people that send their kids to daycare dont know how to take care of a child, gladly, you do! so when the time comes, you will be a great one, but if you weat till your married, itll be much easier if you have someone else that is as dedicated as you are.

Answer 18

I was 16 when I had my child.  Financially now we are ok but it was very hard in the beginning.  I wish I could go back in time & wait.  I'm 31 now & I have so many regrets about the things I could have done with my life.  I didn't go to college or do many of the things you should do as a teenager.  Enjoy your youth while you still have it.  Accomplish the things you need to accomplish before you have a child.  WAIT!

Answer 19

WAIT!!!

A baby is not all fun and games. I love my Daughter more than life and I wouldn't trade being her Mom for anything. I love being a Mother, in fact. With that said, it's not always rainbows and butterflies. Just wait until your stable, graduated, etc.

Answer 20

Having a baby is hard work especially for a teenager belive me i had my daughter when I was 15 and its extreamly hard but thank god my mom is very supportive and i got to finish school but being a mother when you that young is soo hard my boyfriend and I barely ever had any money i mean your still a kid yourself atleast wait until your out of high school but now im 19 and i expecting a little boy August 19 i woulden't trade my kids for the world

Answer 21

A few months ago (when I was 15) I got that same maternal urge after I had a miscarriage.

I came to my senses, thank god!

You really need to think about this before you do anything. Think about the responsibility. Look at the facts...

Answer 22

I understand your pain sweetie, however, you are way too young to be thinking about getting pregnant.  Its alot of responsibility.  I am 29 and Im a week away from having my first child.  It is your body and your choice. Honestly in my opinion,  its best you wait until you are married with a stable relationship and home.  It makes a big difference in your life and will in your childs life as well.  Just think of how you would want to be brought into the world.  By a single 15 year old mom, working 2 jobs to support the baby, whom is always in daycare.  Or a mature married couple who is financially, emotionally and completely secure in their lives together. Like me, you would be able to stay home with your baby, to watch her grow and teaching her, while your husband supports you both.  That life isnt for everyone, however, all i can say is just think really hard and make a good decision.  I have seen way too many young teens get pregnant and end up getting the baby taken away from them.  Most of all, pray about it and the right decision will come to you.  I hope this helps.  Good Luck & God Bless!!!
