Why do I want to have a baby?

Question

I am 15 years old and I REALLY want to have a baby. I really, really love babies. But why do I want to have one at such a young age? I mean I know why, but do you think it is because I do not feel loved? I know everything about how much all of the stuff for babies cost, to how much time and attention they need. Trust me I know, and I know I am ready. Instead of telling me all of the stuff I am aware of, will you help me as to see why my will is so strong for having a baby?

Answer 1

women go through that but done give in to ur hormones and all . because u may look fun but when all ur friend are out having fun and the guy u got pregnant by u will be home alone with a baby some times screaming so loud u cant think pooping on u throwing up u have to be ready for ur whole life to change ur friends wont be there they will want to have fun . wait i beg u . it will happen one day just wait and live first  

Answer 2

You like the idea

the idea is fun but having a baby is a long terrible thing

(not to sound down on the situation I have 4 kids)

it takes alot of time and money none of witch a 15 year old has

you will only have hardships and a less likely chance at having a good experiance with rasing a child later

enjoy being young and free because once you have a baby they are your life and you have little you time

Answer 3

to be honest with you,

i think you're feeling this way because

you might feel you need more love and

attention. If I were you, I would wait until

I'm older. Think of it, by having a baby, you

would be wasting about 4 more years of "being

a kid". Imagine all the fun things you would miss

out on. Having a child is a really big responsibility.

you might think that you're prepared and ready but

in the end you might regret it. I can't tell you what to

do but this is just a word of advice from me. I just don't

want you to make the wrong decision for yourself. I know everything I'm saying sounds so negative but it's the truth, and truthfully, I love babies too! :) So instead of having a baby you should babysit babies or volunteer at a daycare. Things like that will be much better at your age. Anyways, good luck!  :)

Answer 4

I'm 16, and I love babies and I'm kinda excited to have one in the future, but it's not the time. You wanting a baby could be for any reason, you maybe just have so much love you'd want to share it with your own flesh and blood. But don't try to get pregnant, if it happens it happens, okay? :)

Answer 5

To get peoples attention perhaps. BTW I have an immediate family member that just had a baby July 7th. She just turned 16 on Aug 14th. Her family is supporting her because we are a close family but SHE is learning the hard way of what it is like to try and go to school, take drivers education,sleep,hangout with friends and find a part time job to help out.She won't be 16 for long and adulthood comes real fast. Why don't you try and find some jobs babysitting until you are more mature and responsible.  

Answer 6

Maybe it's because you want someone to love you  

Answer 7

because you are young and naive

Answer 8

I know you said that you are ready to have a baby- but are you ready for what that baby will have to deal with knowing that their mother was 15 and just wanted a baby? You should be with someone you love and old enough to support the baby on your own. Plus, think about yourself a bit too, because you would be giving up on a lot of wonderful things by having a child so early. I know how it feels to want a baby before you are actually ready, I'm older than you and I'm still not ready to have a baby but I would love to be a mother. I think about what I would like to name a baby even look at baby clothes because I think they are adorable, but right now I am comfortable playing with my baby cousins and knowing that when I am able to give my baby the life it deserves, I will be a great mom.

Answer 9

I think I know why you want a baby, but only you really know the reason. I think it's because you want to know someone loves you and will love you no matter what, and you don't have to be alone. Do you not like being alone?

Answer 10

I'm your age, got pregnant a few months ago. Don't make the same mistake I did. I mean my baby is EVERYTHING to me. But I'm just too young to do the things older mommies can do... so all you can do is wait!

Answer 11

Youre a woman thats why. The desire to have a baby has been imbedded in all of us since the beginning of time. It may be because you want someone to love you but I dont think that is why you desire to have a baby. :)

Answer 12

You probably have it in your head that you will finally have someone to love that loves you back...well babies take a lot more love than they give.  And  hun, I promise you that you do not know everything about what it costs to raise a baby and care for a baby.  You are not even old enough to get a drivers license let alone work a job that will provide enough for you to take care of your baby.  If you were to get pregnant now, you would probably end up dropping out of school, getting on welfare and even if you got a job, you would work 40 hours a week for minimum wage (when you became eligible because there are child labor laws, and yes you are still considered a child). and it still would not be enough to take care of you and your baby by yourself.  I am sorry if you are feeling lonely, but having a baby is not the answer.  Whether you can realize it or not, you are still a baby and have so much ahead of you.  Enjoy being a teenager...go to the movies and the mall and do teen things...you have plenty of time to grow up and have children...have fun being a teen, because it will go by quicker than you could imagine and there is no getting it back.
