Friends Saying They WANT To Get Pregnant...

I agree with that, person who's name i cant see. :)
motherhood saved me!
But i don't think its right. Its not the job of a child to change their parents. but i suppose its better than the parent not changing at all, like so many awful mums!

Hey motherhood sometimes saves people...


not too often but basically once these teens that arent fully prepared DO get pregnant all you can pray/hope for is that the child will change this teen FOR THE BETTER.

I was 2 months shy of my 15th b-day when i got pregnant with my daughter. I love her to death but that was hard work im now 19 and i have another baby but its a boy he is 1. After i got pregnant and had my daughter then i heard all these girls saying that they wanted babies, well i tried explaining to them its not all fun and games when you become a mom. you dont get to do things like you want becasuse your babies come first. I also feel like im a bad influence because now my baby cousin who I adore so much is pregant she is 17, but i believe she will be a GREAT MOM!!!! She is having a baby boy as well. For all those teenagers out there if your not pregnant or even if you want to think about getting pregnant at a young age dont. You need to wait until after High School or even Better after College or after your marrried. It really is hard work I love my babies dearly but i still have trouble with them. but i wouldnt change it for the world because they are what keeps me going every day.

sadly its gonna be one of those things no teen listens to anyone about.



Comeon, if teens listened, do youd think 1 out of 5 teens would drop out of high school? lol.

Yeah my best friend she has alot of pregnancy scares and the last couple of times she has said that she was kinda disappointed that she wasn't pregnant. I just looked at her and said you do NOT want this at our age! She is 19 and I'll be 21 in may. I went on about how much everything costs and how many hours of sleep i have lost and how hard it is especailly if your a single parent like myself. She soon changed her mind but I know its still in her mind.

i am 15 and pregnant my boyfriend and i got stupid, after that my friend who is 17 and was homeschoole started trying they live in his parents basement...i could have slapped her when she told me they were trying....even pregnancy is hard my boyfriend and i said were not encouraging and were not preventing, just my luck two monhs later we found out i was pregnant. Now with learning the fact that my family gene pool has a disease ive had to make endless trips to sick kids and other hospitals just to get bloodwork done and finding out that my iron count is unuasually low even for being 6 months pregnant. I don't recomend planning a pregnancy at a young age, i mean mine was semi planned but ow were realizing that since my boyfriend lost his job its really hard and he just got a new job where i work. With them shes the only one who works and she works two days a week. i try to tell her the horror stories the one that finally made her decision was the fact that i woke up with a soaked arm because my milk had come in over night and she is squimish with body functions of any form,,i thanked god that she made her decision to wait

those robot dolls are ot even close to the real thing. theres like 3-4 options why the baby is crying and then you basically just try all of them until the robot stops crying. now tell me, REAL PARENTS of real babies, when your child is crying do they always automatically stop crying? do you only try four things before the child calms down? NOT REALISTIC AT ALL.

love this hehe they should do it in schools somehow to prevent teenage pregnancy!

HAHAHAAHAHAHA! ohhh dear these silly little children :)
no health class can prepare you for a lifetime of parenting!
what a little cutie :) i hope she has fun with her dolly baby!

OMG Brandee. Oh well, I'm sure either that girl's parents are raising her kid or the state has taken it away.

Brandee - posted on 02/24/2011

LOL @ heather.



I once ran another teen community on another site with a friend so we got teens that had every reason and every age. My "favorite" was a 13 year old saying she was prepared because she had taken a health class and she took care of a robot baby well enough to get a b.

That when you just say "Bless your heart" and wish them and their future children the best of luck.

I knew a girl that was all like "It would be cool to have a baby to come home to!" UGH! You don't 'come home' to a baby!!! Stupid teens!!!

All people are different and all babies are different.. At 17 my partner and I felt ready to have a child.. I gave birth to my daughter when I was 18. I am currently pregnant with my second, i am 20. Has it been hard?? No. This was something we really wanted. This is something we cherish. We are a normal family. I will tell ANYONE, not just teenagers that you need to feel ready. You need to be prepared to bring life into this world. So many people say that you are never ready to have a child, that is untrue. You are ready when you are prepared to change your life. When you are willing to put yourself second. If you have money, a house and good support no matter what the age then go for it IF it is something you really want.
Being a teenager is your biological age, it doesn't mean you act with immaturity etc.

I got pregnant at 16, I finished high school, im at a community college for my basics and I transfer nxt spring to a 4 year for my Registered Nursing- Labor and Delivery. I love my son, but it is not easy and I don't suggest anyone purposely getting pregnant, especially if your not married. I love my son, and every inch of him, me and His dad just got back on very good terms and after things get straighten out in both our lives, we plan to become a permanent family. Prayer and Hard-work have gotten me through this all. Best advice stay celibate, cause protection fails.

I was 18 and graduated when I got pregnant with my daughter. She is my entire world!!! I do know a few girls that tell me that they wanna be mommies. I tell them the truth: I tell them that its no walk in the park, youre up all night your constantly double thinking every decision you make, I also tell them that I love being a mom. It is not easy for me but not completely hard either. there is a line there you know. i also tell em my advice is to wait til you are out of school.

Tina - posted on 02/22/2011

yeah definately one of the girls was in the waiting room when i had my son she could hear me put her off for a little while. I ended up having an emergency c section that wasn't pleasant either.

my best friend is constantly telling me that she wants a baby i told her to wait till she finnishes school i even let her baby sit my son a couple of times and she realized how much of a handful that they are plus talk about the pains of childbirth it always scares them

Tina - posted on 02/22/2011

I don't have anything against young mums but i don't want my friends to have kids for all the wrong reasons everyone is different some people are cut out for parenting some aren't it's not necessarily an age thing. But I still think it's a good idea to get young girls more involved and see what looking after a real baby involves if they really want to be a parent because then atleast they have some idea what they're getting into if they still want be parents good on them but it might also encourage them to wait.

Christina - posted on 02/22/2011

Brandee, I understand that. I graduated HS at 16yrs old so getting pregnant (not on purpose) at 17 made it where I was able to be a grown up. I was able to focus on my son and going to school to become a nurse.

Brandee - posted on 02/22/2011

I was that kid. Kinda.
I got pregnant for the first time when i was 17. That was when i had m/c at 9 weeks and then after that something snapped and i told my boyfriend that we needed to have a child, god wanted us to have a child. We conceived the first month but my body was obviously not ready and m/c at 5 weeks. it was...devastating. I mean, thats when it finally sunk in that i was 17 and had lost 2 babies already. Me and jon stopped trying for a few months, and tried again for 6 more months without any success. I was given clomid to help regulate my cycle and aurora was conceived THEN.

I was a stupid teen, but in my defence i had graduated high school at 16. I had the finances through savings and a supportive family and im still with my boyfriend that i went through all this. I "understood" what i would be sacrificing (no one is 100% prepared for their first kid) and i was happy with that.

I actually am okay with older teens that have graduated and have their life on a track thats healthy for a newborn and child to try to have their own. people get married young, and husband and wife are suppose to have children!
I dont approve of teens in middle and high school ACTIVELY trying to get pregnant cause they want attention and love and all that crap. ugh.

I had a friend that when she got with her husband she wanted to have kids with him, she was 17, she is now 21. I had my son almost 13 months ago. and after i found out i was pregnant she tried even harder to get pregnant, When my son was a few months old, i took him over to see her and she couldnt even hold him properly. now she just had her little girl. she had a horrible pregnancy, but when she found out she was pregnant her and her husband finally got married. I dont think their marriage is going to last because they are not ready for any kids. I have raised my son without the other half of his dna around but he has an amazing daddy.

Most of my friends have kids now, but they're all great mums and i don't think they were at all influenced by me, a lot of them got married early so that's why they started on having their own families.

The friends that i do have that are single want to baby sit my kids LOL and my sister's can't wait to be the ones to play with them.

I always tell them that it's hard to have two kids (or even just one kid) at 21, and they're reaction is always "yeah, i know, that's why it's great that you have kids, i can play with them and you get all the stress". LOL

Christina - posted on 02/21/2011

What Tina?! You mean parents can't just drop the kids off?! lol. I know what you mean though. Some people were made to be parents, and can handle the responsibility. I took it very seriously when I got pregnant at 17yrs old. I bought books like Parenting for Dummies, Single Pregnancy, Single Parenting, ect. I was so entranced by my son when he was born that I bonded quickly and easily. It wasn't a chore for me, but it wasn't a cake walk either. I don't know how many nights those first few months that I gave up on the idea of sleeping and just sat up in a chair rocking him all night while reading a book to keep me sane!

Tina - posted on 02/21/2011

considering giving her ideas a try myself i'm guessing if these people had kids they'd be quickly turning to me as a baby sitter. How often people have a cuddle with the baby and as soon as it starts crying or what ever hand it back. You don't have that privlage when you're the parent.

Sarah - posted on 02/21/2011

I just want so slap some sense into those stupid little kids!

Very few teenagers are cut out for parenthood! It's no freaking walk in the park! lol :)

I know of way too many pregnant girls and girls trying to conceive.

I mean, no education, qualifications, house, job, partner, money, life experience, maturity, common sense... have fun parenting without some of those things!

i know i'm being the biggest hypocrite, (pregnant at 15) but others should learn from my (beautiful angel of a) mistake, not aspire to be like me! As much as i love life, my daughter, my bf, i am struggling like hell and wouldn't wish it on anyone.

especially not the stupid, drinking, smoking, party animals!

These girls shouldn't be bringing a baby into the world yet :( It's not fair to raise a baby like that.

there are many exceptions to this rule, but children raising children is a bad idea!

I love Christina's idea! i might just give that a try :D

Well. Both of my sister did it. I got pregnant, and soon after two of my sister got pregnant too. One, 20 years old, decided she wanted us to have kids together. And the other, 17 years old, decided she didn't want to be left out. I was in the best situation... Stable relationship, our own apartment, graduated high school, enrolling in college ect. ( I was 19)... The 20 year old is a high school drop out in an abusive relationship. The 17 year old is also a high school drop out who had a weekend fling to become pregnant. Also, a friend is now pregnant. Also not in a good situation for a child. No place to live and the father is unknown... I would have done similar to you had I known they wanted a child after hearing of my pregnancy or seeing my little family. But unfortunatly none of them told me untill after they were pregnant that we were their motivation... Thankfully my older sister is doing well so far. Her baby is almost a month old. My younger sister is 33 weeks pregnant and my friend is almost 10 weeks...

Yeah I know people that who already complain they don't have money and being exhausted after work and they sleep plenty. They like clubbing. Don't have a clue that there's more to being a mum than having a cute baby. You can't do the things you use to do even just going down the shops you have to plan for and budget carefully you can't just go and buy things when it suits you, eat out, go to movies etc. I love my children very much. But I certainly would discourage young people from having children until they've lived a bit.
