Im 18 years old and i want to have a baby!

Question

When I see women that are pregnant i get jealous. It sounds horrible, but its just i want that special bond with my boyfriend, and i absolutly love kids. My bf gets so annoyed when i bring it up, so i just pretend im joking, but then sometimes he brings it up and then blows it off like it was just an idea but changed his mind. IDK whats wrong with me, im 18 lol.

Answer 1

im 20 and when i was your age i was thinking the same thing. but now that i have my daughter its just so much responsibility. i wish i would have finished college and got a good job to support her, wish that i could have gotten married and gotten my life a lil bit more on track.

but i dont regret her one bit i just wish that it would have happened a few years later.

live your life while your young. babies only tie you down. its ok to be jealous i was that way too..

sometimes being pregnant can actually ruin a relationship...

Watch "The Baby Borrowers."

Answer 3

Back in the day all woman had babies by 18, so when you think about it, it is kinda normal.  It's just the past 30-40yrs that it has become a big deal to have kids young.

Answer 4

Believe me - live a little before taking such a big step.  You need to make sure you are with someone committed and who is also prepared to take that step.  I am  not sure if your boyfriends is ready for this just yet.  I remember when I was your age, its really a great time of your life.  Dont tie yourself dont just yet with such a huge responsibility.  Enjoy yourself - a baby is not an accessory.  You will be responsible for him/her until they turn 18  - that means you will be 36 years old!!!  I had my son when I was 37 after I had been to University, travelled and had a fun filled no cares or responsibilities lifestyle.  Just think about it properly for a while before rushing in.  

Answer 5

i know what you mean i was the same way except i really got pregnant...no don't get me wrong i wouldn't change anything, because i love my baby...but it's really hard even with the help of a boyfriend or husband being so young.and i look at all the people my age and still wish i could be young and do basically whatever i want to do...like save up an go to the beach or an amusement park, or just stay out late hanging out with friends...an most importantly i wish id have had more time to just be with the person i love just the two of us, even though that may sound selfish....but i'd urge you to wait give yourself time to be young and have fun!you can have a child at any time in your life but you're only this young once....hope i helped

Answer 6

Read the other women's answers and think carefully on this. You're probably too young to have a baby now and you can definetly afford waiting some years to think on it. Also, a child is not supposed to be had to form a bond with your boyfriend, that surely isn't the best way to keep him (your boyfriend) around.

About your jealousy of women who are pregnant, try to channel that energy into thinking about how cool it will be when you have more structure to support your baby. Make plans about university and travelling.

And hey, if you're not convinced, maybe you and your boyfriend could get a pet together.
