right now, he thinks we're not ready to have a baby because we are not settled. He isn't saying that he doesnt want to have one all together.
He just wants to make sure we have everything we need together first like a place to live finance and blah blah blah. not that he doesnt want to have one

Then keep having protected sex, it sounds as though he's made it pretty clear that now isn't the time for you guys to have a baby and both people need to agree before TTCing

i am 18 and i know its a young age to say i want a baby, but its really what i want.
i've thought it through, i feel like a child is the only thinkg that would make my life worth living for, because instead of thinking of myself, i now have a child to care for and love and give the world to. My mother always judged everything i did and brainwashed me to think that you have to be a certain way for people to accept you, and it drove me crazy, and we fought all the time; fought so much that she kicked me out and i now live with my boyfriend. I always said, if i had a kid i would respect what he or she wanted to do and love them no matter what.
im out of school, working, moving in to an apartment with my boyfriend, this is what i want, a baby to bring into the world. Even though i am young, i wish i am pregnant, i wish this isnt just a feeling.


Honestly, I really don't know you but based on what you have said on here I strongly recommend that you really live as an adult on your own first before having a child. There are many issues you really need to sort through first. A lot of us have had difficulties when we were growing up and had to sort through them. Heck, it took me years. It is a common reaction for teenagers and young adults to want a child to "care for and love and give the world to," based on what they experienced within their family.

Do you live in Seattle? I am from there. I moved because the cost of living is just so expensive. My husband and I are both college grads and have good career fields but moved because it would have been difficult for us to make it even on two incomes. Apts in that area are even expensive. You would probably need the government to help you...are you depending on that?

You do seem like you have a lot of love to give, I would just find other ways to fill that void right not until both you and your significant other are truly ready - not just feel ready - ready emotionally and financially. I strongly recommend you start volunteering. The Children's Hospital in Seattle is a great place to volunteer. There are a lot of great places to volunteer in the Seattle area.

i live in mississauga, and most of the houses and apartments are pretty pricy, cuz its a nice neighbour hood.
out of mississauga the prices get lower, my boyfriend and i are looking into moving a little out of where we are now so its not so expensive.
i know its a good idea to wait and have a baby -and that IS what my boyfriend and i are going to do-

well i dont really believe in using birth control.
Before you critisize, please, hear me out,

I know that birth control would be a good thing to look in to,
but my theory ever since i started having sex has been, if you're not ready to have a kid, don't have sex. And yeah i know im not ready to have a kid, which is why my boyfriend and i use the pull-out method, and i know that i could get pregnant grom pre-ejaculation, but im 18 and still haven't had a child yet.

Not being on birth control is my personal reason.
Everyone is different, some choose to use it, i preferr not to.

Wait, so you don't even use a condom? I'm not critizing so don't get cranky. Can I ask why you don't believe in birth control?

we use condoms sometimes, not all the times.

when i started having sex and learned about birth control, to me it sounded as if you were killing an innocent life who hasnt even come into the world yet.
i always thought, if you dont want kids, dont have sex.
i've never been on birth control ever, and my boyfriend and i are careful.

I know I got a B in philosophy but when you say "If you're not ready for a kid, don't have sex" and then say "I'm not ready for a kid" then I think not having sex would follow. But i can uderstand why that won't do. How about "if you're not ready for a kid, don't have unprotected sex" Very
Happy

Is there any reason for not using condoms on a regular basis?

Well, just by what you have said with your theories and such i would think that you would want to reduce your chances no matter what. Pull out method isn't exactly a method. I've seen that posted here a LOT and I'm new, so you've probably seen it too.

If you're not ready for a baby then reduce your chances so you're not biting your nails every month waiting for your period.

I agree with suzy (the_girlfreind) you are being incredibly selfish. Your boyfriend is not ready to have a child, you just want one for yourself. You should be thinking about what you can offer a child, not what a child will offer you - a reason to live or make your life worthwhile, great reason - not! If thats your reason I agree with whoever said you should see a therapist.

What kind of job do you have? Does it pay well enough to support you and a baby if you 2 break up in the future? I know you think you will be together forever, but most relationships at your age dont last forever, so you should have a plan for just incase you end up a single mom. Can you afford rent on your own money? Groceries? Diapers? Formula? Clothes? Toys? Electricity bill? Phone bill? Health insurance? Daycare?

If you stay together do you plan on returning to work once the baby is born? If so, who is going to care for the baby during the day? Can you two afford daycare when you cant even afford your own home?

No living in an apartment doesnt make you a bad parent, but if you have a house instead its way better in lots of ways. For one thing your child will have a garden to play in and they love being outside. You wont have any neighbours on floor levels above or below you (like in an apartment you do), so less chance of noisy neighbours waking your child etc. You'll have more space, more privacy.

Do you have a driving license and a car?

Why dont you want to go to college? You'll end up with a better payed job if you have some qualifications, instead of stuck in some dead end crappy one you hate.

I think that when you and your boyfriend want to have a baby then go for it but it has to be something you both want! If it is really something you guys want then you will be able to do it. Now don't worry about what girlfriend says i don't know if you followed her threads she is 16 and 31 weeks pregnant , ad she wants to tell you to get on some birth control, she is prob some promiscuous person who slept around too much and now she needs a cover up, maybe someone with so much crap to talk about everyone else shouldn't have a baby cause she her self is a little immature, if she loved that baby at all she would put it up for adoption to a family with some brains not a keep it. I do wish you best of luck in what ever you decide!!!

you do not kill an embryo with birth control, you prevent its existence. In other words, you can't kill a life that isn't there.
A condom is a form of birth control.

Like Vanessa said, you are not killing an embryo with birth control if it is never there in the first place. Birth control makes you NOT ovulate, hence there can never be a meeting between the egg and the sperm.

So you are NOT killing anything since NOTHING is there in the first place

I agree, birthcontrol isn't killing anything. There would have to be something there in the first place to kill it. But like you said, that's what you believe. But I would like to say, if you're going to rely on the pull-out method only as your birthcontrol, be prepared to get pregnant. It worked for the longest time for me but, Dante will be born next month as a result of that method. Smile

I hope that you and you're boyfriend get stable with a nice place and all the things you want before you two make the commitment to have a child. Boy, do I wish I did those things first...

Anyway, I hope everything works out for you and him when the time comes.

lol
im sorry krystine but ive tried and tried to reread this all and understand where you are comming from. it seems like youre a bit nieve and immature. birth control doesnt kill a life lol. its like saying everytime yu have your period then youre killing a life too right?
Rolling Eyes
or everytime he masturabates then hes killing a life too? Confused
see how much sence those things make? they dont at all.


and "pulling out"/not haveing him findih in you is no way of being careful at allo.
what amazes me is how you post thinking your preg
then all of a sudden you start haveing all of these symptoms which you read off posts from here
then all of a sudden you post a topics saying you WANT a baby
but then you say youre not ready yet? which is it? Wink
