Im 18 years old. I have been married since 3/21/07 but I have been with this guy for 5 years. He was my first and only sex partner. We have our own apartment, we have great jobs, and the only thing left that I want out of life is a baby. Some people will probably say dont have one because you have so much more you may want to do in life. well i dont. I dont drink,party,go clubbing, any of that. I go to work,clean house,and cook dinner. im a wife and I love it.About 2 months ago I didnt want a baby, I wasnt prepared to take on the responsibility but now I am. is it wrong to want a baby so young?
My hubby was 19 when we had our first and I was 22,I always wanted to be a young mother and grow up with my children,still have the energy to enjoy their lives.It is really up to you and your DH if you want to have children now,nobody can tell you what to do with your body and your life.I suggest go on a nice romantic holiday first tho lol.Goodluck with whatever you decide to do.
i was 18 when we fell pregnant with our first child, i am now 20 and am pregnant with number 2. i also dont go out drinking, i am a wife and i go to work, look after my soon and cook dinner etc.
i dont think theres anything wrong with having a baby at 18 as long as you know what you are in for!
From the sounds of it hun you have a very sensible head on your shoulders and wanting a baby right now isn't wrong at all. I had my first when I had just turned 19, second when I was 22 and am now having my third (and last) and I am now 27. Personally I think I have timed all of them perfectly, and like you I was in a stable relationship with a good job and mortgage. Unfortunately my relationship didn't last with my eldest daughters father, but that doesn't mean it wasn't still the right choice, you can't always foresee those things.
However, sometimes I do think "i wish I could have the same children but just a few years later" because although you don't want to drink and party etc etc, there are lots of things as you get older that you might want to do, like someone else said, have a romantic holiday alone, socialise with friends without having to worry about baby sitters. Just make the most of the things that I'll guarantee you at the moment you take for granted. I know I did
Hope everything goes smoothly for you if you do decide to try for a baby
When I read your post I thought yes you are too young, but then I got to the point where you said about 2months ago you didnt want the responsibility, which made me think that you are ready in yourself to go for it. You have obviously given this a lot of thought, and its not a spur of the moment decision. And anyway, its your decision and you have to do what you want. I am 32 and could not have imagined even thinking about have a child at such a young age, then again I always thought I would have been younger than I am now. "Whatever is meant to be, will be."
Good luck
Thanks for yalls input I really appreciate it. The only thing holding me back is Im affraid what my sister and grandmother will think. My mom is fine with it (my dad died) but im scared of what they will think of me. Do you think my grandmas and sisters opinion really matters?
It shouldnt matter what anyone else thinks.
I used to worry what my dad would think, but now i openly talk about when my next hosp appointment is etc (obv i dont go into too much detail)
Even if you get someone who reacts negatively, its up to yourself what you do, not them.
thats what all my friends keep telling me but I feel like I have disappointed them so much already (dropping out and getting married) but my life is really good im doing very well but i feel if i tell them i want a baby they will be disappointed once again. My cousin got a girl pregnant when he was 18 and everyone was so upset but i think that was because he wasnt married he had no job and he was still living at home.im the exact opposite of that
