Is it normal for me to want a baby at this point in my life?

I'm nineteen, I'm a freshman in college, and I've never even been in a relationship or anything like that, and here in the past few weeks, I've noticed that I've been really, for lack of a better way to describe it, been interested in babies. I've never felt such a strong urge to be able to hold my own precious bundle of joy than I have recently. I've never even had a significant other with which to do this, but it's almost like, sometimes in my mind, I think of situations in which I might end up with child, if that makes sense, and it just seems like part of me feels ready to have a baby, even though I've always been one that wants to wait until marriage and whatnot, and a greater part of me knows that I most certainly am not ready for my own child yet. Is this normal at all?

    Just a wee notion. Do some babysitting you'll soon get over it!!

    Maybe you wrongly think that being a stay at home mom would be easier than studying :oD

    WRONG!!!

    You just started college. You should wait a while. It is an awesome thing to become a mother, but you've got time. But if it happens, it happens. You'll love that baby more than you ever thought you could love anyone :)

    sure its normal to want a baby, but hopefully ur common sense is stronger than your animal desires and u will wait until u are in a position to take care of a baby.

    The funny thing is I was just about to post the same question with near damn the same details but with only one minor change... I am in college but I'm 17 (I was born in December and started college right out of high school)... Now before I get some haters you must remember the OP clearly states "I've always been one that wants to wait until marriage and whatnot, and a greater part of me knows that I most certainly am not ready for my own child yet." and I feel the same way. While I know I will not have a child any time soon, That still doesn't stop the want of having your own little bundle of joy for you to love and care for.
    P.S I'm a dude

    I totally agree with grimmbunny and all the others except puk. Give yourself time to graduate college because if you have a baby now, it will be SO much more difficult to do so unless you have major support. I've seen a LOT of people I graduated high school with end up with a kid and no job except maybe hostess at applebee's. Please try to complete this stage of your life before starting another. =)

    Yes its normal for women to have a urge to have a baby but i feel u still are a lil young and should prepare your life first get a home a good man and be financially stabe once that is accomplished then have all the babys you want lol but if u still want one now maybe try babysitting for people and getting more into the idea and set your goals out because you dont want to bring a baby into this world if your not fully prepared
