sounds just like my life!! i was a crazy kid then too, im 18 now, and am 39 weeks pregnant. i also has an abortion, and it tore me apart. i would NEVER EVER EVER do it again, and highly DONT recommend it to anyone. when i told my boyfriend of 2 years(who is 22) that i was pregnant again, shit hit the fan and he left me after a while, which forced me to move back in with my parents :P i havent seen him since...august i think. i stil talk to him though. never in a million years did i think he would do that!!! my family was pretty upset when they found out i was preg. again but now they cant wait!! if u have a really supportive fiance, and youve gotten most of what youve wanted to do out of the way, go for it!!! best of luck!! keep us posted!! |

I got married when I was 18. We started trying to have a baby a year later. After two miscarriages, we succeeded when I was 23. Having a baby changes your relationship with your partner a lot. Suddenly, instead of being able to go where you want when you want, you have to consider a third person. You have to get your baby settled for the night before you can have any "couple time." Sometimes becoming a father puts a lot of stress on the man, because he suddenly feels more obligated to provide. I guess what I'm trying to say is, having a baby is a true test of your relationship. There were times that I know my husband and I would have split up if divorce weren't so complicated--and we had a good marriage before we had kids. Sometimes I wish we'd had a few more years of freedom as a couple before we had kids. How does your fiancee feel about a baby? |

I am with JBEAR.The stress of a baby can make even the strongest of couples break up.You are 19 have fun and enjoy yourself.If you don't want to get drunk and act stupid then don't.Good choice I may add.Take up mountain climbing,skydive or find a interest the will fill your time.Their are lot of wonderful ways to be around babies and childern without having them.Find a organization that works with child and volunteer you time.The final decision is yours and you have to live with it so think hard and long but I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do. |

Hey I just would like to say thank you for being so supportive everyone. I have talked to my fiancé allot about how I am feeling we communicate about pretty much everything which I know is great. The idea of becoming a father to him is a good thing he is ready because he is 6 years older then me. We both agree that we need to first get married and buy a house. I understand that when we do have a child our lifestyles will change even when we are just lounging around the house, it wont just be us 2 enjoying our favorite movie lol. I want you all to know that if I do decide to have a baby it won’t be for at least 6 months because by then our finances will be in order and we plan to get married this march. Well thanks again so much and congrats to all of those expecting! : ) |
