Even though I know it's not a smart move; and I'm only seventeen, I would love a baby. I'm constantly reminding myself of the facts, like they will throw up on me, they will have dirty diapers, I'm not financially stable to take care of a baby, they require alot of attention and I have to provide everything they need. I'm still in school, and I doubt the father, if it was my boyfriend at current, would really stick around. They wouldn't stay a baby forever, and it's not like you can turn them off and put them away when you don't want them. I guess it's the romantacized idea of pregnancy and babies that makes me want to have one, because I always can just picture myself with a tiny little baby in my arms.. I'm not about to go out and get pregnant, either, just to calm anyone who thinks I might. ..Here, have a pig. iggy:
baby's are a lot of work, but you get so much more back from them , my life was shit and empty , until my son was born, cant imagine life with out him, i only see him at weekends, and he completely drains me of all energy, yes they are a lot of work but worth it, i would say though wait until you are older, enjoy life a little, also young lads ur age wont be any help if you do get pregnant, most will run, and the rest will be useless.
i cant think about having a kid ever. Growing up in a big family makes you realize what a kid can do to a parent. No kiddies for me.
Women, well people mature at different ages and perhaps your maternal clock is ringing. Now that does not mean go get knocked up to turn it off but your just likely going through a phase in life. Get your life in order as to what you want it to be and then when you feel your ready get jumped.
Its natural. One day itll develop from "I want a baby even though its not smart" to "Im ready emtionally, physically, spiritually, financially, relationshipwise, everything, to have a child now. Im ready to be "mum" for the rest of my life. Im ready to always put someone else first without fail. There will be no doubt. Usually when you get into a stable relationship But the "practice runs" of broodiness and "aw babies are so cute" and "I want someone to love even though its silly!" are perfectly normal starting from puberty. I wouldnt worry about it and Id look forward to all thats to come when you ARE really ready
i think most people go through this "i want a baby" stage. i did when i was round the age you are now, then again at 21-22y/o. sometime i think what it would be like but i know i'm not ready to have one & i dont think my fiance is just yet, i doubt it will be long though before were both ready, 3-4 years probably. if it did happen now though we would both be happy. i think the bodys homonal changed contribute alot to the broodyness. go out & enjoy your freedom as much as you can, do all the things that you can only get away with while your young. just go out learn as much about yourself & life as you can.
your maternal instinct is kicking in, thats all. i went through the same thing. i had dreams about it, i went from hating kids to loving them practically overnight. keep reminding yourself that if you were to have a kid right now your life as you know it would be over. your life would no longer be yours.
Become a foster parent? Not totally the same but at least you can give them back and be better prepared for when you have your own.
Maybe so, but you see, it's not about caring about the situation of the world. It's more than that. I don't wish for a baby right now, but I think I can understand that it's about a baby of your own, not just one more baby out there to preserve the human species.
i think your urges are from biological instinct, all animals have it. sometimes i look at my lover's child bearing hips and i have the urge to put those hips to good use. so even guys can suffer from this if they have a perfect soulmate haha
I believe my son saved my life. I got pregnant with him at 19. And he's nearly 5 months old now. But I've wanted a baby since I was 12! I'd say 'wait til you're ready' but I don't think you can ever be truly ready.
