I’m sorry, i agree, just cos you want one it doesn’t mean you should have one, but marriage is NOT important to have children, a stable relationship is better, but being married isn’t a necessity and shouldn’t be seen as one, also with age comes stress. It’s been proven you are more likely to suffer from stress as an older parent than a younger parent. My daughter was conceived through rape, I was 16 when i had her and she is a happy, healthy little 3 y/o. Me and my partner have been together 3 years (since she was 2 months) and have a lot stronger relationship than most of the people i know who are married. I’m pregnant after 2 years trying, and we couldn’t be happier, unlike my brothers best friend… 27, married to the woman he’s been with for 7 years, she’s pregnant and now they’re getting a divorce and live miles away from each other, such a better way to bring up a kid than an unmarried 20 and 23 y/o isn’t it?
EDIT: oh yea, summer makes people broody, so does ovulating, being around kids and loneliness.
I don’t know why, but I’m guessing it’s pretty normal because I myself is desperately wanting a child now too. I’m 20 years old and just REALLY crazy with baby-fever. Lol, I guess you just go out and buy baby clothes, play with other children, or something until it goes away. =]
It’s your hormones and it’s perfectly natural. But just because you’re desperate to have a baby doesn’t mean this is the right time to have one. (In fact, you’re more likely to feel desperate as you get older — but you’re also more likely to be a good parent.) So wait until you have a husband and can afford a child before going on to have one.
Sounds like you’re ovulating. My baby-fever gets really bad around this time of the month, and then usually the really strong desire fades the rest of the time. I really want to have children myself, but know that I’m not financially stable enough right now to provide for a baby (and I’m 26)…you just have normal maternal instincts attributed to the fact you’re a woman
lonely maybe
Go have one then. Maybe that will help you.
Because you’re a teenager and you probably want some kind of purpose in your life. Kids can give that to you. So can college, getting a degree, doing volunteer work. I got pregnant at 17, but that does not mean I condone 17 year olds TRYING to get pregnant. It is not easy being a parent, and I had to give up a lot of things in order to be a mother. Forget the party years, I never had any. I had to get a job and work full time once I finished high school, I also went to school full time at a beauty college, and that didn’t work out. Now I’m 22 and finishing correspondance school. I’m married, I’ve got 2 wonderful kids now, and another on the way. I don’t regret having to give those things up for my children. I’d do anything for them. What I’m trying to say here is that if you happen to get pregnant as a teenager, I think you should take responsibility for your actions, grow up and become a parent. Put your child first, and do everything you can do to give that baby a wonderful life. But if you’re TRYING to get pregnant, you’re only going to make things much harder on yourself and your baby. Welfare is REALLY hard to get off of. I love that they have the programs they do for people who can’t afford food and medical insurance for their children, but it’s getting abused by teenagers who think they can get pregnant because welfare will foot the bill.
Just wait a while, please. Go to college, meet a great guy, settle down, and then worry about having kids. In the meantime, try doing some charity work with children to satisfy your "desperation for a kid" Enjoy being a kid yourself.
i know exactly how you feel. when i was 17 i wanted a kid too. I’ve been working at a daycare for 3 years and these kids are my life. i love kids, and ever since I’ve started working here, I’ve wanted one. but i knew it wasn’t the right time. At that time I didn’t even have a boyfriend or anything. I just wanted a kid. And after awhile the feeling of wanting a kid so bad faded away, and it was easier. but it didn’t go away completely. I concentrated on school and got my GED and met my wonderful boyfriend, and after we met and started getting sexual with eachother, I got pregnant, and we wernt even trying to. When the time is right, it will happen for you. Just focus on other things for awhile. Things will fall into place when the time is right. Good luck sweetie!
