I know im too young but i still want a baby...?
Answer:
It's good that you are acknowledging that you are very young.
Simply put, I think the urge you are experiencing is because you are biologically mature. It's nature telling you that your body is ready to have a baby. Now that doesn't mean that you are emotionally, financially, and otherwise mature enough to have a baby. Those are the more important pieces. But you already know that.
Just recognize what you are feeling as the natural biological urge to reproduce. It's normal, and there is nothing wrong with you. I would just recommend finding another outlet to satisfy your urge until you are mature enough in all the other more important ways.
You could volunteer in a children's library. You could become a "big sister". You could babysit more.
Good luck!
You are too young. Get a puppy or a kitten or something.
Baby sit?
Get a pet?
Find something else that makes your feel fulfilled?
Volunteer at a shelter for pregnant teens?
yes wait untill you are old enough and have a stable enough home and have good income and with the right person
Honestly, keep your legs closed and your brain on. Just wait you will be happier.
Get a pet! They are much easier for a teenager to take care of!
You need a shrink! What possible reason would you want to intentionally get pregnant at your age? I had a child at 15 and it was a very hard thing to do!
if you are willing to spend your life looking after your kid and lose all the teenage fun, secondly you would wanna get pregnant with the man you love. good luck :)
Buy a "how to" book.
Please don't do it,Finish your education and get married. You need to be able to support a baby.
Ask yourself a question to the REAL reason you want a baby
Are you prepared to do everything for them and is it with someone you care for and not an act of attention or way of getting back at someone.
Really think about it and the answer is definately NO - because your not even completely sure you want one or the reasons behind it.
You have a lot of growing up to do first
you are young
Baby sit?
Get a pet?
Step back and look at your relationship with your parents. Are you not getting what you need?
You said you want a baby who will love you no matter what, I'm guessing you're not getting that love where you need it.
I would suggest that you talk to an adult you can trust. Maybe an aunt or a teacher, or a guidance counselor.

resitst the urge
Having a baby because you want someone to love you is not a good reason. A baby is needy and not capable of returning love until they are 2-3 years old. Babies are a lot of work and expensive, so unless you at least have your high school diploma you will be struggling to raise a child and that is not fair to the child.
Just think if you had a baby today, the odds of you & the father staying together are slim to none. So you have to share the baby w/ a person who may not take care of the child well, you will not be able to provide it with all the fun thing in life let alone necesities. Wait until you are older & married when you can enjoy having a baby & spoling them too. I am a stay at home mom that could not imagine not seeing everything new my children do, so think before you act. Give yourself & your future children a better chance at life than the one you would be able to provide now
i suggest that u wait. being a young parent can be really stressful. u gotta think about ur future. finish school and get ur life straight first. wait and think about what is best for u right now...just be a teenager and have fun now
Go volunteer at a daycare center in your spare time and learn that their is so much more to taking care of a child, remember get there early and don't go to lunch and stay late, this is what my wife does for a living and its a very hard job being a parent. think twice, worry about your education and be better prepared to raise a life, when its time you will be much better prepared.
trust me i would wait till you were older, i know that you want one but its not a good idea to have one this young, my best friend just had her kid and she was 16 when she had hers, and son't get me wrong she loves her kid, but it makes it to were you have to grow up way to fats and you don't get to have fun like you should at this age, trust me it would be best for you and your kid to atleast wait till you're done with school, and have it with someone who isn't going to leave you once he finds out he knocked you up
Get a dog or a cat then You can think of it as ur baby Try dressing it up in dolls clothes then u will find out that its all to much and wont want one
Good to hear you know you're too young... I think getting a pet (puppy, kitten?) would help you out a lot. they too will love you unconditionally, and are probably as much work as you're willing to go through right now. Human babies take much more work! lol
Please wait!!! There are too many young girls getting pregnant. They don't know what they're getting in too. Many of them will end up giving up their dreams to take care of their baby, raising their child without a father, or putting the baby up for adoption through an agency. What is your hurry? Don't listen to other people. You have time. Don't you want to go to college or travel or something? Do you get a lot of love at home? Maybe there's a bigger issue there. I know how cliche this is, but too many young girls try to look for love in the wrong places. Have you ever spoken to a therapist?
You are way too young. I got pregnant at 17 and you cant go out with your freinds you have to find a babysitter and pay them if you want to work(unless your rich) you have to pay for daycare which even if you can get subsidized you still pay alot. Theres so many things I wish I would have done b4 having a baby, i'm now 24 and when I got pregnant none of my friends had kids so everyone just drifted away and not to mention the father not doing jack!My advice to you is get a dog or cat and take care of that. And if you still feel the urge talk to people even a professional. you have your whole life to have a baby ----WAIT
Just what we need another homeless welfare smuching no job haveing waste of skin roaming the streets looking for the babies daddy
we all have our momentz when we want to feel loved unconditionally..I've had my momentz.dealt with a lot of problems in my life...However, getting pregnant so young isn't going to solve anything.you have so much ahead of you! college! your career! tons of people and places to see! basically you still have the world to see.with a baby in your life that is going to make it a lot harder..and a lot more stressful.you seem like you just want to be loved and cared for right now.and I think that a baby might just make u a little too stressed.just wait till your older.trust me.it'll be better time then...
lol. I can promise you that that child will not always love you, in fact that child will most of the times treat you like common garbage and make you want to pull your hair out and just give up. Especially once it is a teenager.
You'll always love that baby, but there will be times when you will hate the very thought of having to parent the person it is. Theyre only babies for a year, after that, theyre little adults in the making.
If you want children, be smart, take that desire seriously.
You can do something about it without making a baby right now. Babies need money, they need good parenting, and they need a solid family life.
I wanted nothing more than to get married and raise a family, so I worked my can off to become the best, most knowledgable, best equipped mother and wife I could possibly be.
I finished school early, at 16, I started working in a few different careers, such as the nannying, and real estate, I spent my time looking in good places for a good suitable person to settle down with, and then I worked on making a baby.
It took me 4 years to find a good husband, and 2 more to finally reach a point where i was certain I was ready for that baby I had dreamed of every night since I was a child.
You need to first prepare yourself by realizing you not only dont know everything, you dont know ANYTHING. its impossible to know much at 23, let alone at 16.
To get yourself through, start volunteering to work with babies. I promise, after you spend a few weeks as the full time caregiver for a new born or infant, or toddler, you WILL be glad you waited a little while longer.
This was in Dear Abby or Ann Landers today. I don't remember all of the reasons not to get pregnant, by I can name a few off.
First, you want a baby to love you no matter what. A baby needs love, but does not reciprocate. A baby is needy. Needs attention every waking moment. Needs your love, needs your diaper changing, needs your feeding, needs your soothing, needs your doctoring, needs, needs, needs, all the time.
Second, a baby is expensive. Doctors for the pregnancy, hospital stays, doctors for the baby, formula, diapers, baby food, a home, electric bill, water bill, baby sitter for while your at mcdonalds working, money, money, money.
Third, your social life is over. If you aren't working at a minimum wage job that won't pay the bills, you are taking care of a baby.
Baby sit or get a pet. Having I baby doesnt mean knowing your loved no matter what, what if you kid grows up to hate you? what if you cant give that baby what it needs? What if you get sick of it? what if you cant live out your dreams? go to collage? get a job that can support you and a baby if needed at anytime? what if you have to drop out of high school? what are you going to do then? you need to fight off that feeling and get your feet on the ground go to collage get the job you have always dreamed of and then think about kids. you dont have to be married to the guy you just have to love each other.
I know exactly where ur coming from i used to feel the same way when i was younger i am 22 and just had my 1st child a yr ago by the way named jaymee too but anyway just wait i waited and im glad i did because even now i still need all the help i can get your still in school and having a baby is not going to leave u time for anything else enjoy ur childhood a little longer trust me itll be worth the wait!
It would not be fair to you or to a baby to have one at your age, please do not do this. You can not support a baby financially or emotionally. There is more than just having someone to love or to love you.You are talking about a life here, that no 16 years old
is able to provide what that life needs.
Channel your energy in a more positive direction. Volunteer to work in hospital, visit nursing homes, or get a part time job. Most of all, do well in school, you will need it, when you are old enough to have the child you desire, but do not cheat the child by having it when you know you are too young.
Do they have one of those classes at your school where you have a electronic "baby"? It looks like a baby, crys like a baby and everything. Maybe you should think about "adopting" one of those for, oh say, a week. Then see how you feel about having a baby then. It might change your mind for now....Hope that this helps. It might bring things into a whole new perspective for you.
