I'm a 16-year-old high school student, and I want to have a baby. The last time I got pregnant, my parents talked me into having an abortion. I regret that decision, and have been thinking ever since about trying again. I can't see why I have to wait. I want to move in with my 18-year-old boyfriend, who also wants a child. Because I think I love him, I might marry him after I have the baby. What do you think?

honey, I am 25 years old and I have been there and done that, they always say that they are gonna marry you after the baby is born, but they won't trust me, and having a baby right now is not the thing to do, believe me, you might want a baby now but wait until you graduate high school and you may want to go away to college and live in a dorm, or when you hit 18 and want to go party with all you other friends who don't have kids, all you will be is stuck at home missing the fun because you are stuck with a kid. wait until you both have stable jobs, a good education, and a stable place to live, enjoy being a couple and enjoy being alone with each other, trust me once that baby is born you will never have alone time again, had my first at 17 and now have 4 all together. enjoy life and enjoy being young trust me, you have so much time to start a family. the worst thing in the world is not being able to give your child the most basic things like pampers because you are to young to get a real job.

hun...honestly...you shouldnt WANT to get pregnant...i am 17 y/o i am pregnant...& i dont think you should even try to get pregnant again...for one you have a higher risk of having problems with alot of things & risks of your baby born with birth defects...etc....i didnt plan on my pregnancy...but i am going to keep it...i think you SHOULD wait because even if you think your ready...your body isnt....im not trying to tell you what to do...but i just think you should at least wait til you are finacially stable & physically ready...& ive been there done that....my boyfriend is 19 & im 17...same age difference as yours...ive been with him for a year & i love him very much...we are planning to get married but not until im 18......it will be very hard to have this baby if we dont find jobs...i hope you understand that you will need to save up ALOT of money to provide a baby with the love & care it needs & deserves...sorry this is getting long so i will cut it short....if you would like to talk to me one on one i would love to talk to you... email addy is shesshaniel@yahoo.com
