I always have a lot of bad things happening to me, like the only sain person in my family had alstimers (sp) and is getting very bad (its where your brain stops working correctly, loosing short term and then long term memories.. names, dates, faces and being able to function) about 2 years ago my dad left because i caught him cheating, then i started 'getting around'. thought i got prego and suddenly everything seemed so unimportant.. well turned out i wasnt and ever since then i have wanted a baby so bad ive thought about tryign to get pregnant but i couldnt do that to anyone right now, but i want a child so bad. my friends always make comments saying im going to make a great mother without me asking or bringing up me wanting one. I just need some advice on how to try to hold off, bacause i think about it at least once a month.. (not on my 'time of the month' either!)

side notes
im 19
full time college student
live on campus
3hrs away from any family
part-time job
depression is something that comes into my life easily if i feel un-needed

Is It Normal?

    it's a biological implant in your brain that drives you to reproduce. it's every living thing's basic instinct. even parasites that live in cow's guts have the instinct. it would be weird if you didn't want to.

    The message is: Each and every female (this includes you), should be ideally between 26 to 30 years of age, before having a child. If everyone on Planet Earth follows this advice, this will go a long way towards solving our current population crisis.

    Note: There is a minor exception to this, where there is a large age disparity with the male partner.

      This is the best advice I have seen you post and I think the first that wasn't correcting grammar. Nobody should have children before they are 26.

    Its instinct in a woman to want to have a child, usually around the age of /0 is when a woman really begins to have that desire of having a child. I'm 19 too, and I frequently wondered about it. Though I know I'm not ready (best to have a child at your mid 20s, 24 and up), so that's why I'm not having a kid. A woman's body isn't cully developed till the age of 21. So if you REALLY want a child soon, wait until you are about 22, when your body is fully developed, thus decreasing chances of birth defects.
