Is this normal for a 15yr old?

Question

i seriously want kids,and soon..i mean..im not going to,but is tht normal?

Answer 1

It's perfectly normal. [:

I'm 15 and I feel the samee way sometimes.

Just keep remembering how much work a baby is and how young you are.

It's better to wait until you're in a stable relationship, have a steady income, house, etc.

As long as you don't go out and get pregnant now, it's fine.

It's just hormones/motherly instincts kicking in.

For now, maybe try babysitting instead?

You still get to play with the baby, see how much work it is, get used to it, etc.

Answer 2

to be honest, yes.

i think it is anyway.

but you shouldn't go out and have one by any means at that age because your body really isn't mentally capable to carry a child, and it could do permanent damage to your hips.

However, if you wish to work in a daycare or something like that, it could subside your wants for a while until you are ready to care for them.

Answer 3

YES!!!!

I feel the same way. It's never too earlier to start thinking about what size family you want. At first I wanted 12 (yes, 12!) then I thought that was a little crazy then I thought 6, then 4, and now I decided I want to have 2 or 3 kids soon, but I want to be able to be successful, so I'll wait....lol, I'm not excited about how you actually get the kids yet so I think I'll wait till marriage...haha.

Answer 4

I felt this way when i was 12 i just wanted to get pregnant so bad or hold my baby in my arms it was unreal!! i love kids n all. but really it probably means ur a little lonely, u can always babysit or volenteer at a daycare . if u feel the advice i gave did not work u should talk to a councellor or an adult who can help u. trust their good for things like this

Answer 5

It's normal.

Just don't actually have them now.

Answer 6

I get a little upset when I read responses to teen pregnancy on here or teens wanting to have babies. Ok firstly not everyone has a baby in their teens because they have low self esteem or think a baby would love them unconditionally, not everyones parents raise the baby for the teen. I was a straight A student, doing very well at school, had a great boyfriend and worked part time. Home life was great mum and dad married 20 years, dad worked mum stayed at home and looked after my younger brother and myself. I fell pregnant at 17. I didn't do it delibratly but I didn't try and prevent it either, at that age you kind of go with the 'it won't happen to me' factor. My boyfriend and I got married when our daughter was 18 months old and also have a second daughter together. Don't get me wrong, it's been hard, but my children are not neglected, they have everything they need plus more. I work part time in a very successful role, my husband has a fantastic job, we own our own home, our eldest daughter is enroled into a private school for next year. But mostly they have 2 parents who adore the ground they walk on, and who after 8 years still feel like 2 teenagers in love.

Yes it is hard work, but if you want something that bad and you are prepared to make it work, go for it. Although my advice would be to wait until you are atleast finished school.

Answer 7

Yes its normal to feel that but sweetie plz wait atleast a few more years and have the perfect man who will be a great father and husband! please dont make the same mistake i made and get prego when i was 16! but now i have a sweet lil daughter Dylan Grace!

Answer 8

its normal to want children yeah i have always wanted to have a baby for as Long as i could remember i can wait to have kids!

But u gotta be realistic about it,u want ur kid to have a good life right, u wanna be happy and enjoy ur new child ..well if u were to have a baby right now what kind of life would that be, it wouldn't be happy and stress free that's for sure, it would be hard and unfair not only would u be missing out on life but ur child would be as well not many teenage parents are financially stable do u really want ur kid to grow up poor..i know i don't i been through that and i won't let my kid go through it...its way more easier and better if u just wait till ur older

try babysitting or working at a day care or something

Answer 9

i have a few friends that want kids, it is totally normal to have that instinct that early in life, especially because women started having kids at about 15 in ancient times so the marital instinct is just there. I think that if you really want kids, you should start babysitting small babies and toddlers on a regular basis even "borrowing" them. If you feel like you can handle it after that and you still want kids then i say you should go for it, i mean as long as you stay in school and you have someone to help you take care of it and you have a job.

Answer 10

yea thats normal but you just have to remember that that could change your life totally and no one will look at you the same and you want to graduate high school and have a good job so you can have and support a baby afterwards.....i really hope i helped =)

Answer 11

I fell the same way!!

Answer 12

i guess some people feel this way. But if you truly want kids, you should wait. You're still growing and you're body isn't ready to handle another human being.

Or are you a boy?

if you're a boy, it's also good to wait.

abstinence is the safest way to go

Answer 13

Yes we are born with a maternal instinct and it's natural to want a baby or kids.  My lil sis is almost 16 and already is having pregnancy dreams.  However it's important to note that even though it;s natural to have these thoughts they should not be acted on.  Babies are a HUGE responsibility even as an adult it was still more than I anticipated lol.  They are such a blessing but when you are older and married.  For now just try to get your baby dose from sitting for people.  You are not ready even though you really want one.  Trust me... it's normal.  

Blessings:)

Answer 14

Normal, but for god's sake, don't act on it.

Teenagers have a romaticized concept that a baby will love them unconditionally......................Not True!!!!!

Babies don't "love" (at least, not newborns).......

Grow up, get your education, live your own life first.....children are a lifetime commitment, and you need to be prepared and ready for that .....

No way a 15 year old is ready.

Answer 15

no not rly but if u love kids babysitting might b good 4 u... if ur not gonna get pregnant though u should b fine... hope i helped<3:P

Answer 16

It's a 'programmed' instinct in all of us.

Yes it's normal.

Answer 17

It's normal.

I love little kids too, and I'm only 14.

Its not like I'm going to be getting pregnant any time soon though.

Answer 18

yea if u love kids but dont let it get to the point where you find yourself in the position where your a teenparent struggling with a kid and school!

Answer 19

it's normal.

Answer 20

Yeah, some girls have strong maternal instincts very young. Just let your life begin! Finish High School, wait for the right man, get yourself settled so you can provide for your kid(s). It'll make being a mom so much easier.

Answer 21

Yes. I started feeling that way when I was 12. I love babies and small children so it was natural for me to feel this way.

Answer 22

yeah thats pretty normal, i'm 14 and i know i don't want kids *now* but i do at some point in my life when i'm ready, i love little kids and working with them so for the last week i've been helping to coach some little kids for a soccer camp

Answer 23

Honestly? Yeah i think so me being the same age and i cant wait to have kids! I want to own my own preschool and i love babysitting for my mom's friend. I think its totally normal, but i wouldnt do it now? I think you feel the same way you really cant wait to have your own kids, but you def wouldnt jump into it now. What i do as a soulution when i babysit i love carrying them and stuff and her sister has a baby and i love changing her diaper by myself and when she lets me rock her to sleep for her nap and i've known her since she was around 5 months and wasnt close to crawling and now she's starting to walk! So try babysitting beccause that way you get to be around the cuteness and it give you much reality, of only half the deal of what parents go through! Hope i helped?

Answer 24

yea

it is normal

i have felt that way

but remember that your still young and dont want to ruin your life

Answer 25

Yes its normal. Its just your motherly instincts :]. I remember when I was little I used to stuff pillows in my shirt and 'play pregnant' haha. Silly, I know. But most girls have urges to be mothers. Thats why baby dolls are so popular with kids.

Im 17 now and I still want a baby. I know its not a good time in my life, but I still want one.

Answer 26

yeah is common, for mostly every after they notice the likeing of there choice.

Answer 27

It's common, and usually in someone who has very low self esteem.  I see it a lot in girls who say that having a baby is going to help them straighten out their life, and it's going to help them keep their "man" (all of 16 himself).  Or they'll finally have someone (the baby) in their life who loves them unconditionally and will never leave.  

So, not normal IMO.  I know a lot of girls get pregnant and have babies at 15 (and younger) but a few things happen.  They absolutely at some point in the very near future become single moms.  They also don't have a normal parenting experience.  Because they are so young, the grandmother (usually) is forced to step in and pretty much raises the baby as her own, until mama graduates high school and/or gets some type of household set up.  

It's normal to love children, and it's normal to want to have children, but you also need to think about what you want to do with your life, things you want to accomplish.  If you want to be an awesome mom, do you think that your 10th grade education is going to help you provide for that child?  Do you think your mom wants to raise another baby?  Would you want you as your mom?

Answer 28

i think you just feel really mature rite now, you'll get over it soon and if you dont just wait for the right time. and i think its pretty normal. [:

Answer 29

Probably.However when you have a baby it is NOT  apuupy that you tie up in the back yard 3 weeks later while you go run around with your friends and maybe feed and water once a day.No you get up every 2(count them 2 I said 2) hrs every NIGHT to feed and change the baby, stay up all night when it is sick to try to get it to sleep.

You are responsible for it's medical care, feeding clothing it 24-7 for the next 18(I said 18 yrs).That means you would NOT be dating and  going out etc.You'd be home all the time and under the age of 25,chances are you'd be doing ti ALONE!

Answer 30

yup ypu its normal, i think bout it all the time, most girls do... but i dont think most girls want to have kids soon thoguht :]

XOXOXOXO hope this helps- Snoop_bunny226

Answer 31

For many young women it is perfectly normal.

You are right to stay the course of "not going to."  In this age 15 is too young.

Divert your energies into something else.  

The intensity of this should fade soon enough.
