Do You Ever Regret Getting Pregnant Sometimes?
Posted: 02-13-05 12:05pm

I'm sorry to say but I do. Maybe I shouldn't feel this way but I do. My boyfriend is immature as hell and I guess I shouldn't complain because hes 16 but man yo. I'd expect him to actual have grown up or at least matured since finding out that hes going to have a kid. Last night he was up at his house with a friend and his cousin jackie drinkin until past 2am and then going for a drive.

Ugh! I dont know it just irks me that when my child is born, knowing that he acts this way and probably wont change. I dont need to have someone thats gonna remain irresponsible like that.

Hun i'm sorry that you feel that way!! It could be a sign of depression...Maybe mention something to your dr about it, just to be on the safe side. :) you won't regret it after the baby is here. :) they're precious.

Mostly I love being pregnant. I love my tummy and feeling my baby boy wriggling and kisking inside me. I can't help rubbing my tummy and looking in every mirror I can and then thing "wow, would you look at that?!? That's me!"

but i'll admit there's also times - mostly at night when i'm laying there trying to go to sleep - when I think "what have you gotten yourself into girl??" I always figured some day i'd have kids and I always wanted to have lots of kids, but I never dreamed i'd start this soon. I think about being pregnant basicly my whole senior year when all the other kids are doing all those things you dream about doing when you're a senior, and I think about how being a mom's for the rest of your life and how for me that's going to be in like 3 1/2 months, and I get to thinking i'm not ready for that. It all sorta starts getting to me then. But then I feel him move in me again and it makes me think of the beautiful baby boy and try to imagine what he's going to look like and be like and I feel a lot better.

I feel like this is either the best or worst thing that ever happened to me, and however it turns out is up to me. It makes me want do the best I possibly can for my baby boy, and nothing in my life ever made me feel that way before. I love that, and that makes me love being pregnant.

I guess maybe that all sounds sorta crazy, but that's how I feel. Maybe it's just those preggo hormones and emotions kicking in, but that's how I feel.

I'm sorry but in most instances I have to say - you slept with the guy, therefore you ran the risk of getting pregnant by this guy.
16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most guys don't deal with responsibility when they are in their 20's, he wants to do what 16 year old lads do and honestly I don't blame him. After all why should he care, he's a minor, he doesn't have to accept responsibility, he doesn't have to carry and care for this child.

By the way, I think you are very lucky to be pregnant, some can not experience that.

So, take your hopes off the young guy and pin them on yourself, because you will be the one doing the hard work (unless you give your baby up)

exactly!
Having a kid wont change the fact that hes still a kid, and it wont turn him into an adult. Im 18, im still a kid, I love hello kitty, playing dress up, and watching the disney channel, being a kid wont make me care any less for my baby, now I will have someone to play all those things with :):):) I got all the party out of me at an early age, but being 16 and male, what do you expect? Hes going to want to drink and go out with friends, and I dont think age has anything to do with that. Maybe he will settle down after time, but theres nothing wrong with being young and having fun. My boyfriend goes out all the time, I dont expect him to loose his freedom because im pregnant. If your going to regret something, regret getting with a immiture boy, not your pregnancy... Your all that baby needs.

I know that I probably shouldn't say anything because I am pregnant and I don't know how you feel but I do know that you don't have to have the father in the picture. You can raise your baby without him. I know you don't want to but you can do it. And if your boyfriend keeps drinking and driveing or drinking and then going for a drive. Something could happen and you won't have him in the picture. And it not be his choice. Which I guess it would be because he is the one drinking. I hope nothing does happen. Have you tried talking to him. Maybe that would work. Tell him that you are afraid that something will happen and your baby won't be able to know his father and you don't want that to happen. I hope I helped some.
