Girls, Im 13 And I Wanna Have a Baby Posted: 09-27-07 16:37pm
I wanna have a baby, I took care of my
little baby from the day she was born till
now that she's older, after her, I took
care of my other little neighbor up until
she was 4, I am very happy with the
comments that I got from her family and
mom, they would tell me that she is a very
active lil girl but not much of a brat.
So, I kinda have a bit of an idea of
having a baby. Give me ur opinion plz.
nothing bad beacuse I know every criticizm
I could ever get, trust me. So,
yeah, girls my age that already had a
baby, tell me what it was like throughout
ur pregnancy

Umm, I know you say you don't want
criticism, but you need to think about
this realistically.
You're 13 years old. How would you be able
to support a baby? You don't pay for the
roof over your head, or for the
electricity or hot water, or for the food.
You don't pay for the clothes on your
back. You can't drive. You can't work
aside from small jobs like babysitting.
You haven't even graduated high school
yet.
If you brought a child into this world,
you wouldn't be supporting it. Your
parents (or whoever you live with) would
be, and that's not fair for them. You're
only a few years older than a child
yourself... at 13, you're barely
classified as a teenager. And whoever
impregnated you would be guilty of
statutory rape, since you're not of legal
age to consent to sex.
Is this really what you want for your
first child? To be born to a 13 (or at
most, 14) year old mother? To have your
child supported by your parents instead of
yourself? Do you know that adults with
jobs still have trouble supporting their
children, and that's with high school
diplomas and transportation? It goes way
beyond being a good babysitter for the
neighbor.
You would be someone's parent. You need to
think about this as a mother. Your future
baby deserves so much more than you're
willing to give him/her right now.
Complete your education and get your
diploma. When you're old enough, get a
part-time job and save your paychecks into
a savings account. Buy a car and pay for
your own gas and insurance. And when
you're old enough, move out and get your
own place. When you're able to do all of
this successfully, then
start thinking about having a baby. Don't
choose a second-rate life for your child.
S/he deserves the best - so wait until
you're able to provide that.
Good luck.

The statistics for this predict a life of
poverty not only for you, but for your
child as well. Babysitting and being
around other people's children is not like
having your own. The fact that you compare
the two shows you have no idea what you
would be getting into. Babysitting always
ends at some point, having your own child
NEVER ends. EVER. Once you are a
mom, you are a mom 27 hours every single
day, seven days a week.
I have an idea! How about you talk to your
mom about it. Ask her how ready she thinks
you are to have a baby. If you can't do
that, you aren't ready to have a baby.

um, 13s a little too young, dont u
think..? why not have a baby when your at
least 16, or 17 when youv
finished/finishing school...? just my
opinion.
i know how it feels to want a baby at 13.
I had a baby boy when i was 13 and i enjoy
being my sons mum. But i never get to hang
around with mates or do anything fun. Take
this answer from a teenage mum, wait
untill u are older as i wish i did alough
i am very happy.

You can't not expect critisim. I don't
know what to say really because it does
get me quite angry and upset whenteenagers
come on here and say 'oh i want a baby,
i've babysat so i know i can have my own
blah blah blah' i've been and auntie since
i was 12 and i had my daughter just after
my 16th and no amount of babysitting my
neice and nephew could of prepared me for
having my own baby. I'm not going to carry
on typing now as i can feel myself getting
angry

Just like Aya started off with. I know you
dont want criticism but realistically
you're going to have it. at 13 some girls
havent even had their period yet. You
shouldnt even be having sex let alone
concieving a child. Are you sexually
active? AT 13 you cannot even provide for
a child. Aside from love emotionally
physically and financially you're no where
near ready. Your body isnt even
technically devloped enough. and Yes I
know there are 13 year olds whom have
children but you know the damage it causes
to your body?
You would be a child having a child. And
your parents would be who would be
financially responsible for them.
There is a massive difference between
babysitting a child and concieving and
parenting and raising a child. I mean even
maturing as a person you have so much
ahead of you.
You are trying to fulfill your life with a
happiness factor... THINKING that having a
child at 13 will be so great.
I dont want to yell at you and call you
crazy... but NO
if at 13 you want another child. ask your
parents to conceive one.
Put your life and education and personal
well being first!

Dude, you're looking at it THE WRONG
WAY!!! you're bloody 13 for christ's
sakes!!! you're not even out of MIDDLE
SCHOOL yet!
I'm sorry but this is getting me upset
now.
My elder brother, Falcon he's 15 and
becoming a father. his girlfriend, the one
he banged, is having a right fit. she's
your age and she didn't even REMEMBER
having sex.
but anyways think about it another way.
you're too young and i think that it could
seriously harm your body. i mean you could
die. i don't want to hurt you but if it's
gonna stop you from having a kid so be
it.
go get some help or something, talk to
somebody, change your mind!!! And if you
did have this child, what about it's
future? would you be able to take care fo
them wwhen they're sick cuz i know for a
fact in the USA they don't pay for your
healthcare. like, i'm sorry this is too
wrong. i'ma gonna stop writing now.
take care,
kittykute

No, your neighbor isn't your baby, you
weren't around her 24/7, you weren't ever
really responisble for her all the time,
your not old enough to even get a job, how
will you support it?
You think that your parents will pay for
it all, how would you feel if you knew
that you had to rely on your parents for
everything your baby needed? It wouldn't
even really be yours if you did that, it
would be your biologically but you never
were able to provide for it, your parents
did.
Do you think that if you have it with a
13-14 year old BOY, not man, BOY will want
to take care of it, they may say they do
but you never know. So think of it, your
in what 7th or 8th grade, not even in high
school, would you go to school? I mean
you can because I do because there are
programs in some areas of the USA but does
where you live have it?
You really need to think of all these
things, if you have a baby it's not what
you want anymore, it's that baby, your
secondary, so when you get older and want
to hang out with your friends how will you
be able to with a baby to take care of,
just hand it off to your parents.
Just think, don't you want a child hood?

Hi Posted: 10-13-07 11:05am
I wanted a baby at 13 too untill I seen my
cousins and aunts struggling with
supporting their kids while being grown.
So then I didn't want a baby anymore and
all of a sudden I got pregnant. But if you
want a baby please find a legal way to
support it. Because they shouldn't be
punished by your decisions. But im not
going to down your decisions because mines
wasnt the best either. Im 14 now but if
you want to you can write me.
Whatever you do I wish you good luck.

As everyone has said, you can't not expect
critisism.
Take it from a teen mom. I had a baby at
15. Because of my financial situation and
the fact that my then boyfriend was NOT
ready for it, we placed our son with an
adoptive couple.
Now, at almost 17, I'm pregnant again.
I understand wanting to be a mom. It's so
cute when you play with your nieces and
nephews or the neighbor's kids. But when
you have your own child, it's totally
different. At 13, you cannot support a
child. I'm almost 17 and will be
struggling greatly with supporting this
child. The advantage I have is that I know
what it's like supporting myself. I know
what my budget is and will be.
I strongly suggest waiting. I cannot tell
you what to do, but I can tell you that it
would be so much better for you and for
your child to wait.
Not only is better for the child, but you
have to look at yourself. Finances and
emotional readiness are one thing, but
your body is NOT ready to support a child
growing inside you. You are not fully
developed and your body cannot handle
that. I don't care how mature your body
may be, your body could not handle it.
There are many, many cases of girls your
age who have babies and then have a lot of
complications from it. I knew a 13 year
old girl who had a baby and when she was
16, she died of kidney failure because of
the pregnancy. Not only did she lose her
life, but her daughter lost a mom, her
parents lost a daughter, and so on. Do you
want that for your child?
Please think about this before you make
any rash decisions.

13 is too young to even start thinking
about having babies hun. your body isnt
even developed properly. giving birth is
dangerous enough, let alone being 13!
sorry but you need to enjoy yourself
before thinking about any of this

Yes, birth control is good. We got it.
Thank you. Maybe you can say something
else now.
But, unsurprisingly, most of the women on
this particular forum...don't need it.
Why? Well, probably because we're all
already pregnant.

OK, and I agree.
But it seems that your answer for
everything is birth control. When birth
control only does so much.
And since, like I said, most of us are
already pregnant, birth control is not
going to do us any good now.
Also, since this is the Teen Pregnancy
forum, quite a few of us were NOT on birth
control.
So, grand and magical though BC is, we
don't need an ad campaign for it.
Not trying to be rude, just explaining.

I think that it is great that you want a
child but can you wait at least until you
graduate high shcool? When I was 13 I
wasn't thinking about having a child but
everyone is different. When you get a
chance to surf the Internet, just look at
the price of baby necc. There is nothing
like bringing a child into this world but
it is much better when you as a mother can
take care of that child. Give yourself
sometime to grow more and experience life.
