I'm 17 and really want to have a baby?

Let me start out by saying I’m not going to get pregnant on purpose! I don’t have the money or anything necessary to have a baby.

Okay so now the question. I really do want a baby, I had a pregnancy scare but ended up getting my period and now I’m on birth control. I don’t understand why I want a baby so much, like when I babysit or see/hold babies something just clicks inside me that feels so right. Could it just be like maternal instincts or whatever kicking in? I don’t feel like they should kick in this early, I’m only 17. I started wanting a baby when I was 15 and thought it was just a phase but the feeling never went away. My guess on why I want to have a baby is so that I have someone to love, who loves me back and I know they won’t ever leave. Everyone leaves me and I feel like maybe having a baby I will actually feel loved. I don’t know. I’m just very confused. And like I said before I’m not going to get pregnant now, I know that’s not the right choice

  • Some people were meant to be teachers, lawyers and nurses as some are meant to be mommies. Wait until you find the right person and get married and you have enough to support yourself. Because they are expensive and having that Spouse to be there and help you is the best feeling ever as well. The only thing to help with the baby fever is to work and/or stay busy or it will cloud your mind! Sounds like when the time comes you will make a great mother! 🙂

  • I’m really glad u understand its not easy. I definitely do not regret my baby but if given the option, I would have waited too. All I ever think about anymore is thinking how we’re gonna be able to afford having another child. My husband’s already paying child support for his daughter. Sorry, I don’t normally spill my guts out like this. It is normal. I’m 22 yrs old and have wanted a baby since I was 16. That feeling never went away either. It was my one true dream in life, for someone to be able to call me mom, and now that its actually happened, I wouldnt regret a thing. I’m not saying go for it. I’m just saying explore ur options, which u seem to understamd. Good luck.

  • Babies are a lot of work, but a huge blessing. Your baby needs a Daddy wait untill your perfect man comes along and then get pregnant.
