Is it wrong that im 18 and want a baby?

Question

I am really really wanting a child, I can look after it and can afford to as I have savings put aside.. But im only 18 (almost 19). Plus I have been having unprotected s*x for the last 4 months (pull out method) but im kind of disappointed when Im not pregnant, I know I shouldn't expecially since I shouldn't put my bf in a position he may not want to be in. Is it wrong that im so young and want a child that badly?

Answer 1

I don't think it is "wrong" but you have no idea how difficult it is to raise a child.  I had my son at 26 and I still don't think I was ready. You really should give it a lot more thought.  Your ideas and values about life will change so much over the next few years. Having a child now will make everything so much more difficult. Enjoy your life, finish school, go to college, marry someone, then have kids.  You will be a lot more prepared and therefore a better mom.

Answer 2

Since you are technically an adult, its not that terrible. But maybe you should wait until you are married and out of college to have a kid. Its good that you are considering wether you can afford a kid or not. Also be sure you have the time to take care of one because they are so much stinkin work. And what happens when your child needs to go to school or the doctor? Will you have money then? Consider everything.

Answer 3

I had my first baby at 18.  Thought I could handle it.  It was so difficult for me, especially as I got into my twenties and all my firends were in college and going out to parties etc and I was stuck at home.  I wouldn't recommend anyone doing it ... get a puppy instead.  

Answer 4

I'm in the same exact postion you are. I've become obssesed.

Answer 5

It depends on how ready both of you are....

I had my son at 16.

Kids are expensive, a lot of work, and give you almost no free time...

no more hanging out with the friends and getting drunk... no coming in late and staying asleep late... youll have a little one to look after.....

Think about it, before you do it...  

Answer 6

it's not wrong if you have finished high school gone to collage got your own home and a well paying job.

Answer 7

If you cannot honestly provide for the child, should you be having one?  I mean, do you know how expensive it is to keep up a baby?  Do you have any idea how much good child care is?  And, have you ever babysat a child who won't sleep at night and has colic?  Ugggggg.  Maybe you should be happy you aren't pregnant yet.  It seems that women are waiting later and later to get pregnant.  I can see many benefits to this idea.

Answer 8

It's a good thing u r thinking not only of urself but of ur bf's situation if u were 2 get preggo. But I believe.. it's better 2 finish getting a degree towards a career first and then u can all have a family. It's the best choice, Because diapers and baby items are really expensive, especially if u want the best for them. And when they get sick, it is really sad and it hurts u emotionally. It's not easy taking care of a child. I have 2 kids. It's not the same as babysitting some one's child. It may seem like u want a child but thats how women are, it's a natural instinct, of becoming a mother. But you need to think about education and starting your life and then u and ur bf can talk 2gether about having a child. Good luck with ur decisions.

Answer 9

It really depens on your personal preference....but remember to live....once u have a baby..there goes all the time to yourself.....BUT

R u married... would be better if u where

Answer 10

I got pregnant & had a baby at 19 & now I am 35 & I would recommend waiting. Of course kids are wonderful & fun but it will cause you to miss out on many events/opportunities & you may regret it. Also I got stretch marks all over my tummy & never got to wear a 2 piece swimsuit ever again so also think that your body may not be the same after having a baby.  It is a huge decision so please think about the big picture.  

Answer 11

its not ur age that matters but wether ull be able to support a child and are mature enough to put their needs b4 urs... imagine all ur friends are going out to a wild fun party and u cant go because u dont have a babysitter.. or say u do find a babysitter and go to the party .. then have to be up

@ 7am cuz ur baby is up & hungry.. u should really think about this b4 its too late.. i had my baby @ 23, i was married with a good income & planned my pregnancy and once he was here i wondered what all the rush was about.. ps.. since then i havent been able to sleep past 8am

Answer 12
