IWntaBaby

Hi, I was having a bit of a google around, looking at teenage Mum stuff, seeing if it is a bad as everyone says, and I found this. I'm 16 in two months, and I want a baby, have done for a few years now. I haven't got a boyfriend, and I know its stupid thinking what I am, but I can't shake the feeling.

I know they all say you onl want a baby because you think it'd be a toy, something that is only yours, something to love becaue you weren't loved as a child. Thats not me at all. I want a baby because I can't think of anything beter than bringing a child into the world.

I come from a rather rich family, but my Mother would kill my dead if she had to help me out with a baby.

Anyone feel the same as me? and who went through with it?

Thanks. J x

First of all you have no idea what its like being a teen mum just because you googled it. That in its self proves that you are in no means ready to have a baby

I became pregnant at 16 AND IT IS HARD. How are you going to pay for this child?? Where are you going to live

Being a teen mum isnt about oh yeah I want a baby I come from a rich family so they will help me

Finish school, go to college get a job and support you self

Being a teen mum I know how hard it is most of us mums are great mums but please dont just have a baby because "You cant think of anything beter to do"

I too was a teen mum at 18 and seriously is hard work. I had a boyfriend at the time and hes been there the whole time and supports my wee boy. I am at the moment just got 9 months left at uni til i am qualified as a nurse and hell its hard work and stressful. You will never ever understand the emotional side of being a teen mum and sadly theres a huge stigma attached to this and you gotta prove yourself much harder than older mums. Enjoy your life just now, finish school and get a career and be teen as long as you can cause you can never get back those years x

I got pregnant at 16, my daughter turns 10 on Wednesday, it was bloody hard wrk.

I was a single Mum, her Dad was/is useless.

Wait till your older, finish school, go to college, get a good job etc etc.

I'm 15. I want a baby, I'm not going to pretend I don't because I do more than anything. I'm far too tired to go into rant mode so I'll keep it short and sweet. Wanting to be a mum is fine. Wanting to be a teen mum and going through with it is stupid. I come from a wealthy family, so what. Just cos I could afford to have a baby doesn't mean I'm throwing away my whole life. I'm not saying you shouldn't want a baby cos I can hardly talk, but use it to do something constructive with your life. Do a course in child care, get a good job, find a guy who will stick around- cos if you get pregnant now chances are they won't- and then think about having a baby. Good luck.

PS, oops ok I did go into rant mode. My bad.

I know what you feel like, honey, but I think it's best just to be patient
