You should really wait. I got pregant at 16. And trust me, you won't have any more fun! Your weekend nights won't involve partying with your girlfriends, you'll be cleaning up poop and vomit. Maybe you guys should sit down and really think about the cons, instead of all the pros. Don't get me wrong, I love my little girl to death, but it's an uphill struggle, and just when you think you've reached the top, you fall back down and have to try one more time.

i was 16 when i had my son. it was a very stressful but it got exciting as time proceeded. there are so many bumpy roads when you are a teenage mom. i no especially. my little boy is goin to be 4 in 2 months. i raised without his father since day one. his dad dont even come and see him and we live in the same town. hes seen uhim twice since i brought him into this world. my pregnauncy wasnt planned just make sure you are definately ready for the biggest wonderful bundle joy. i no i would have waited alot longer. alot of people looked at me differently. i was in sports loved to party. i quit all that. now its trying to find a babysitter when id like to go out. i graduated from h.s. but didnt prusue to college like i wanted to. i plan to as soon as the time is right. please think twice before you make your decision.

I agree with most of the ladies here that you should wait, I am now now 23 and I have a five year old which means I got pregnant at 17, I was so scared because I didn't have a job but luckily I was with a guy who had a job and took care of me ad my baby and we are still together today but I also waited these five years so that I could go to college and further my education because you want to be able to provide for your child no matter the cost. But I am now trying for my second because I feel it is time but please wait you have your whole life ahead of you and if I had the choice I would have waited to have a child so that I could enjoy my childhood first. Good luck to you!

Hey i just have to say something to all you young girls. I am really upset to see so many of you wanting to have a baby at 16, 17, 18 years old. I am 17 years old and i have a 10 month old son me and the father of the baby are still together we are married and have been married for a year and been together for almost 3 years!!! I got pregnant when i was 15 and had our son when i was 16. My husband is 18 and as i said i am 17 and we have a hard time as it is. It is not easy to be pregnant or have a baby the way the economy is right now. If I knew that the economy was going to get the way it is now i wouldnt have said " I WANT A BABY, I WANT TO BE A MOMMY!" Dont get me wrong i ABSOLUTELY LOVE my son but it is very very very very hard. So if you have the choice to wait or not you should WAIT i had to quit school and i didnt get to go to prom and i dont get to hang out with friends. And another thing how do you know if the father is going to be there when you say "IM PREGNANT" not many of them stay around. In my case i got lucky. But it is hard and let me tell you there are days i just want to lay in bed and cry!!!! Because they get sick and they start teething then they crawl then walk. Ababy is a big responsibility. Think about this before you keep trying to have a baby and if you do get pregnant dont abort it bc you are the reaosn the baby is inside of you. Stand up and take care of it. But finish school and find a decent guy that will actually stay with you.

teenmom17....good for you hun! I was 16 when I got pregnant....so I know how hard it is. And I applaud your efforts...keep going strong, you'll make it! In St. Louis...the average cost of daycare for an infant is $800/mo. Now, I don't know about you teens, but I'm 22, and I make $950/mo. So paying for childcare would not an option...only $150 to live on...yeah right. There is a lot involved in taking care of a baby. After I ahd my daughter...the state cut her off from state insurance...so I couldn't afford to take her to the doctor. I had to take her to th e.r 2 times....and paying those bills back are not fun. Before having a baby...you need to look at some things, money, health, your living situation, and the fact that you won't get any sleep fior the next year! Teen moms are more likely to have health complications, for them and their babies. And what if the father leaves you? You won't have that support...sure, you could sue for child support....but can you afford a lawyer? I could go on for days about the cons of this subject...but really, I think everyone has the same message.....WAIT!!!!!! Wait until you are married, wait until you are done with school, and wait until you have a career, so you'll be financially set.

Yes there is alot of complications but it also just depends on the person. I had my appendix taken out when I was 7 months pregnant now I have a really big scar across my stomach. I just recently had to have my gallbladder taken out bc of problems I had while I was pregnant. Try paying those kind of bills with having a one year old and you and your boyfriend/husband or you are not working. We dont even have our own house we are living with my husbands parents. And let me tell you it is hard. Trying to have 2 different families in one house HOLY HELL. We have 7 people living in a 3 bedroom 2 bath house. So get your life on track before you decide to have a baby. I had to qiut school go to a community college to get my GED and I dont see any of my OLD FRIENDS. You see I wrote OLD, yea they usually dont stick around after you have a baby. Thats sounds like most of the guys too.

Have you not read any of these posts you should wait. And I can't tell you how to get pregnant except for SEX but if God don't want you to have a baby right now he wont give you one. You should read my above posts and MrsT and see what we have went through in the past couple of years. So just think about it ok.

Hello young lady! I had the same problem, when I was 20 y.o. I couldn't conseive, and I wanted it crazy!!!Same with my husband.
Every our friend(couple), who been married the same time with us- already have a kid, but we couldn't... I know how it feels... :-(
It was 1984, in Russia. At that time fertility medicine in my Country wasn't great, and my doctor prescribed me a birth control pills for 2 months. When I stoped after taking it for 2 month-I got pregnant on the next month.
This is how it works: when you taking a birth control pills-you don't have your period and all fertility hormons in your body-concentrate and go to higher level. When you stoped to take it-you have more hormones in your body, then usually.You may get pregnant in next 2-3 months.
I don't recommend you to start treatment from heavy fertility drugs.Try simple things first.
Good luck to you!!! :-D

I'm srry but I have to reply to this. I'm sortof angry with this post and the way people are incouraging these young girls to go ahead and try to conceive. We are here to help young and old people make the right decisions. I'm 17 and my son will be 1 years old in 2 weeks. It's HARD HARD HARD. I got pregnant when I was 15 and had my son when I was 16. I'm now 17 years old and it is very very hard. You girls are making a big mistake if your trying to have a baby now at 17 years old. You should finish school and wait till your married so you know the guy is going to stay with you. You should make sure you are going to be finacially set, and emotionally set before you have a child. You have to make sure you GROWN UP. I had to grow up fast and it is hard. You cant go and hang out with friends or hang out till late at night. Have anyone of you ever watched 16 and pregnant or teenmom on t.v.? Well there is a girl on there named Farrah and she had a daughter and she would leave her baby at home and go hang out with friends till 2 or 3 a.m. That is irresponsible and immature. I'm not trying to be harsh but then again I am. I dont know how much I can stress to you guys to wait.

Hi teenmom17 ! I have to reply to you also
Well... You got pregnant at age 15 and ,yes!, it was too early.
First of all,-This author already 17 now and she JUST START to try... and if something wrong with her reproductive system-it may take her a several years to fix this problem and get this baby.By this way-she will be just ON TIME.
Believe me, it's better to start to think about it at age 17-18, then after 40, when it's almost impossible.:-(
Second- not everybody is irresponsible and careless even at age 17. I beleive, very few young mothers will be hang up all night ...
Why to take only negative side?
Third- This author didn't ask for our advice - ''to have baby or don't have baby?'' She asked to recommend her the possible way to get pregnant,because ''that's all what she wants in this World''
So... you,'teenmom17,give her a wrong advice, that she didn't ask. 8-|
Another fact- she may be not in your situation. She may be in love, and very happy, and her partner may also want this baby... :-) and THEY BOTH SERIOUSE about it.
Pls, don't be engry,teenmom17. I wish you to meet a nice partner, who will help you to raise your kid. :-D

P.S>-Sorry for my mistakes. English isn't my native language.

Ummm I am actually married to the father of out baby so I'm not worried about a man. I just wanth these young girls to realize how hard it is with the way the economy is right now. And how important school is and there childhood. Teenage years are supposed to be the best years of your life. You have prom, friday nights out with the friends, your education, and college. College is supposed to be your time for freedom and to grow up, be on your own. I just don't understand i got pregnant and no it wasn't planned but if I could go back I would wait most definately. Don't get me wrong I love my son and my husband but it's hard really hard. And I am blessed to have my husband with me and by my side and thnakful that he stayed by me when I got pregnant. But most young guys don't do that they don't want to be tied down. I just don't understand why you would want to go through all that emotion right now while you still have the chance to wait. %-)

WOW! I can not believe what I am reading. Teenmom17 and myself have lived this life. So if you want the best advice, obviously we are the most qualified to answer your questions. No one is telling these girls to wait until they are 40 to have a baby! I'm not telling anyone what age to have a baby at, however, I am giving my advice. Going to school while trying to raise a baby is hard. I can express how difficult it is. I want all of you young ladies to graduate school. Get good jobs! If you don't put that first, you will just be another statistic. Living off of the government. Raising taxes for hard working Americans like me and teenmom17. If I have to pay for someone else to be lazy, uneducated and live for free, I would not be happy. What is a good age, 25. You should be set finacially by that point in your life. Get married! Why would a teenage boy want to stick around?? He can go be with another girl who can actually wear a bikini. Seriously, I can't even believe this forum got started! And Yelena, you are giving wrong advice.
WAIT. When you are ready, having a baby will be the most joyful experience of your life! Without the stress and complications that teenmom17 and I had to endure.
Just think about it. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
