Is it normal i want a baby

I've wanted a baby so bad. I know I can't and I should wait till I settle down and stuff but like that drive for a kid is taking over, I've always been around babies I'm a god mother to a two year old and I love her, I look after her all the time, the other day I looked after a baby and he was adorable and his mother said I'm that type who was born to be a mother, I have that natural thing to me. Help me, I don't know if this is normal

    Look after one, on your own, for a couple of days. No one else helping out, just you. Hell, even a 24hr period. And don't cheat and go with a really easy going baby.

    You'll have perspective then.

    I want kids, too. Badly. But...in my current situation? It would be a disaster. While I have a large amount of experience in childcare, I have no partner, little support, not enough money, etc, etc, etc.

    Longest I've done sole care for kids was a Thursday night til Sunday morning. Four kids. It was exhausting. And they weren't even babies.

    Overnights with screaming babies is draining. I did that for a week, and that wasn't even like I had to look after the baby during the day - her mum did that, I just tagged along.

    I wanted a baby since I was in middle school, (of course at that time I just wanted to play dress up with it.) I have and still want a baby to this day but of course I know I am not ready for it. I've been around my sisters baby and I had to watch her baby many times before. It cried and cried and cried non stop. I fed it burped, changed held it and everything. No matter what I did it didn't stop. I was so tired and was getting frustrated with the child. I did eventually get it to stop. turns out she wanted to be bounced while you walked around. The minute I stopped walking she would start screaming again. The little stinker.

    My boyfriend and I want a baby too, him waaay more than me, but I know we are not ready for it yet. For 1 we couldn't support it at all and for 2 he is quite immature still and so am I. lol

    Are you at least married? Or, are you one of the many selfish women wanting kids until it gets old. Please do the world a favor, don't have any until you can live on your own, pay for your own, raise your own, live your own life without living off the system. Thank you!

    I do not drink, I do not smoke (anything), I know about all the responsibilities that comes with having a baby, I'm not a dumb teenager sitting here thinking hey I need money I'll just pop out a kid.

    Having a baby is not the latest fad or cool thing to do.
    Do you know anything about responsibility?

    Go adopt a child. Make sure you have enough money and plan out if you can feed it, care for it, support it and so on.

    Yes, if we didn't want to have babies then the human population would have died out a long time ago. It's just the natural need to reproduce.

    Anyway, I get the same feeling from time to time, so I know how you feel. A lot of my friends have babies too, and I think it would be great to have one of my own.

    To me this is normal . Since I was a kid I've always wanted a baby .. 4 to be exact . Advice tho , don't bring a child into the world if your not stable . Make sure you are able to provide for your baby as much as possible !

    This is my story: I've been looking after baby's since I was 9 years old, my sister had her first kid young so I know what it does to your life, I'm 17 (18 in a few months) so I know I'm to young but that feeling doesn't go away,
