What ur having is "baby fever" and i'm sorry, but u would n.O.T be able to handle a child... U have school and life and work and family and friends. Babysitting is a hell of a lot different than haveing your own kid. Its a lot of time, love, effort and patience. Do not try and get pregnant please. Educate yourself on it, live your life, find a man you love, then u can plan on settling down.

But to reply to you, wait! If you want a baby so badly, then obviously you will care for this child right? Good, then care for it before it is conceived by not getting pregnant! Wait until you at least graduate from high school, get a job and are financially ready (which my take quite sometime) and then get pregnant and have a baby.

Baby fever can't "take over" if you use birth control and condoms. No matter how badly you want a baby, just keep in the back of your mind that you want the best for your child and the best is to wait.

Like I said in the other thread

you need to wait. I know ur prolly dealing with a bad case of baby fever..I've gone through a major bit of it myself lately...And i'm 16..But I would not bring a child into this world until I could take care of myself...Get married...Live on my own..Pay for my bills..Have a good job...Family support. I want to wait until I can tell my parents.. "guess what, ur gonna be grandparents" and them to cry happy because they are gonna be grandparents at a good time..And their grandchilds parents are married..And have set a good foundation for their child.. Instead of having a child now..And them crying because they are dissapointed in me.

Yes...They would be supportive..My parents will support me in anything.
I have never lied to them..They trust me.

At ur age...13...I was a cheif instructor at a karate studio. I never liked boys much until I was 15. I have wanted a baby since I was 6...That's 10 years ago.. But I will wait until I can bring a child into the world as prepared as I can possibly be.. Prolly 3 years after I get married


plz wait kiddo

A great environment? How? With your parents taking care of it while you are in school? Well, then why don't your parents just have another kid.
You need to finish school, get married (if you believe in marriage), have a home of your own, have a job and be financially stable enough to raise your child.
I know you are confused and have strong feelings right now. I don't mean to sound harsh, but you really need to think about what is best for the baby.

At 13 your body isn't fully developed yet. Having a baby now could cause you and the child major harm. Possibly risking both of your lives. You also could miscarry. Would you be able to deal with that??? If ur child had a disability would u be able to deal with it? My brother has one...And I have enough trouble dealing with him..And he's 13. When you turn 21 you would have an 8 year old child. You won't be having fun with friends...You'd be staying home helping your child with homework. Wait please!!!!!
