Wait
I know you think your ready to have a baby. But ask yourself these question.
1. Am I ready to take on the responsbile of a baby?
2. Am stable (money wise)
3. Will I be able to stop going out with my friend?

Something else you mite want to think about is if something happens and you misscarrey. Will you be able to handle it?? I know I couldent

okay here we go i'm 18 and pregnant and I dont want a baby I want to be a parent.. Get it? Babies do grow up and come along with alot of responsibilities. Money, security, health, safety, love, support, etc.... I mean I started draining my account already on doctor appt's alone. You picked out names? What are you going to do when you are 6 months pregnant your mom wont speak to you your feet hurt so bad you want to cry and you dont even have a drivers lisence to take yourself to the store to get advil. I'm not dissing you at all hunni I just want you to know how hard it can be. How are you going to afford it all, afford this dream baby room you desire, afford anything. Sweetie take time grow up live your adolescents. Fall in love grow up get married and have children. Babysit dont want a baby...

I'm sorry I think I sound so mean I just wanted to say that

that's what it takes!

It will only be a baby for a little while. Enjoy helping your mom take care of your sisters kids, see if you can get a part-time job in day-care all sorts of stuff, but a baby is a responsibility that will last you at least 18years!!!!!!!!!!!

This is how I look at it when I was 15, my mind was full of dreams and ideas, and plans for my life. What it comes down to is when I made a decision about something I usually ended up regretting it! Even when I was 18 I made mistakes and trust me a baby is something that will stay with you for 18 long years, once you have one, you can't simply undo it. When I was your age I wasn't even thinking about having babys. I was worrying about finishing school and partying with my friends. What happens when you turn 18 and all your friends want to go out and have a good time at the club, you can't even go because you're stuck at home watching your child, sure you could find a babysitter, costs money though. Trust me having a child is not cheap even in the least, I am 20 years now, I wanted to wait till I was at least 25 to have a baby but I got pregnant and now when I turn 21 and am able to drink legally I wont even be able to go out if I want to. I want to be responsible when my baby is born, so the thought of me getting a babysitter doesnt even cross my mind, I want to be there for my child.
The days of my freedom are over, yes I am very happy that I am pregnant, but if I was 15 right now and pregnant I would probably be regretting every bit of it. What I am trying to say is think long and hard before you make a decision like that, it is a very big decision and something you have to live with for the rest of your life.

Wanting a baby and having a baby are two totally different things!
Enjoy your youth!

Your 15 and you want a baby. Please stop and think about it. I was young when I had my first baby not as young as you but I was a single mother working full time trying to make ends meet. It was really hard. Also think about hanging out with your friends your just starting the best times of your life. Your teenage years are the best, if I could do it over again I would.
