Is it normal to want to be pregnant?

don't do it till you're financially ready. It's better to get your education first, a good job so you can settle.

also you're pretty young-you and he might break up and find other people, so if you have a kid with him now, you might end up being another statistic as a single mom which is one of the hardest jobs in the world

keep in mind as well, most normal guys will not want you after you have a baby-believe me. I love girls, I'm very open-minded but if she had a kid, I just wouldn't go for her because it's too much baggage.

I wish I was paid for all the great life-changing advice I give to others. :)

Its normal, otherwise we wouldnt exist. I dont like the idea, but many people do want to have a family.

How do you think the human race survives? It's normal to want kids, but it's also important to talk to your family/boyfriend first. No need to make any rash decisions.

I'm 19 and I am in the same boat. I have a sister with a family and husband. Shes got a job and goes to school. And shes a good mom. If you feel like your ready then your ready. BUT you gotta think everything through.

Its your life you do what makes you happy. I personally would wait cuz I think about it too with my Boyfriends of a yr and a half. Though we are young and there is plenty of time.

Although I have to mention that I had a friend in high school who thought being a mom is what she wanted and she didn't want to loose her boyfriend over it. She got pregnant on purpose and lost everything. She dropped out of school and lost most of her friends and her family.

She even lost her boyfriend. Her life got much harder. So be careful when thinking about this. And I promise my stories are true. Have a good day.

Talk with your boyfriend about it first. If you get pregnant by him intentionally when he doesn't want to be a father or if you don't know if he wants to be or not, then you are a disgusting, pathetic human being.

I had my daughter at the same as you are now. I wouldn't change a thing now but I missed out on study and enjoying my youth. Kids can wait but you will never be your age again

You might want to think about your priorities.

Also to add to my long comment which will totally contradict myself. There's never a right time to have a baby! As long as you are maternal and have your head on straight you can make anything work just like I did! But my advice is like in my comment above, to wait and be financially ready you don't need to be married but to have a place to bring up your child that is stable will make you a lot calmer and therefore the baby will be in a much happier environment.

Wait until you have a full time job and a house, speaking from experience. I had a daughter before I was financially ready I wouldn't change it for the world but it is hard, I was working full time but didn't have a place of my own and ended up a single mother! I've worked my ass off to get a degree and to start a new career whilst juggling a family life and trying to keep a routine, but I wish I was already settled so instead of doing assignments and preparing for observations at work I could just come home from work and spend quality time with my daughter but I'm still not financially able to stop yet I have a new partner and we are working out asses off to give my daughter the house we need and so we are able to add to the family but don't do it until your life is in order!!!

I am not by any means saying that you should not wait to have a baby but
If you wait until conditions in your life are "perfect" for raising a child then you may never have one. On the other hand there isn't much sense in rushing into parenthood if you already have your hands full with college - oh, and there is no sense in trying to fill the void with a puppy either!

here is my story:
My husband and I have been married for six years. I wanted to have a baby before college - but I didn't because we were not "financially stable" and I wanted to go to college. I went to college - I put off having a baby because I wanted to focus on getting my degree. I got so depressed and couldn't function anymore that I dropped out of college. I *still* wanted a baby, we moved, I got a puppy instead. I *still* want a baby. A puppy is not a baby and now I wish that I would not have waited so long - I wish I would have just gotten pregnant and had a baby but I was trying to be "responsible" - oh, and we are STILL not financially stable and I am 25.

When my gf turns 18 in a few months we are already planning on her getting preg.

This is a little romantic notion.

Why not dedicate a month or your life to sitting in your sister's house EVERY SINGLE NIGHT - unable to go out the door as the child is in bed? Why not babysit constantly and allow your sister and her husband to get out together or yoursister could have long luxurious baths?

Your bf will soon find you boring boring boring - and leave you to go out with his friends.

Try it before you do it... I guarantee you will go off the notion pretty damn quick!!!

You are too young and attractive, get out there and party! Live your life to the full, meet thousands of new people, travel ... do everything you can before you burden yourself with a child. Don't have any regrets or resent a child for tying you down.

You don't even have an adult brain until you are 25 so don't even think about it at the moment.

Party girl!!

I am just being what they want me to be. Right guys? After all, you.made.me.

I guess it's normal to want what you don't have and can see other people enjoying but she's older and you would be missing out to have one now. Definitely think about your priorities and what you would be missing out on to rush the children now, they can wait for a while :)

Wait til your married than it be harder for him to leave

get a puppy. from a shelter.

No it's wrong. You shouldn't get pregnant, ever.
