Obsessed with babies!!

I'm 18 next year and I want a baby NOW. Deep down I know I can't cope with one because I'm still a kid myself, and me and my boyfriends relationship is not stable so we can't bring up a chil, plus he's still in all that street life sh*t.

Although I tell myself I'm not ready, there's something else in me that tells me I must have a baby. Also me and my boyfriend have had many condom accidents which have resulted in me having to take the MAP (mornin after...) and although it is not the same as an abortion sometimes I feel like I've just aborted my child and it gets me upset.

I even think about whose eyes and nose and personality he/she would take after and I even imagine what that life would have been like.I walk past baby clothes and imagine me buying them for my child.

I feel like I'm obsessed and I don't know why I feel this way or if this is normal or just a phase. It doesn't make sense to me.

Sorry about the lenght but I just want another persons point of view.
Thanks

    I think you are one of those kinds of girls who feels like having a baby will make up for any love you feel you don't have. Be warned....parenting does not give you unconditional love. Babies grow into kids which grow into teenagers who will tell you they hate you on a constant basis. Then, depending on the situation, they can completely turn their back on you. Just warning you that babies don't stay babies forever. When they grow, things can turn ugly.

    Sounds like your biological clock may be ticking a little faster than "normal." I know lots of women who are obsessed with babies and who want babies liek now, but most of them are in their 20s or 30s. But everyone is different. My advice is to wait until you're ready - not just mentally but financially. It's not just about you, but the baby too. Hope this helps :)

    I think at your age it's not a good time to have a baby. A baby needs a lot of care, time, and money. At your age think about your future like your job and education. You can think about babies when you are older, in a more stable relationship, and have the money to support a baby.

    DRhouse you should stop worrying about you tax dollars that you never see. this girl asked a simple question about how she felt, (if it's normal) she obviously knows she is not financially ready or stable to have a baby as her Blog obviously points out. (she said so above.) Plus who cares about your tax dollars because more then likely this young lady has a job and their her tax dollars too! Plus she's showing more responsibility taking a morning after pill and realizing she is not ready for a child. and yes dear it is perfectly normal for you to feel this way.

    at 18 you are so unfit to have a child, it's not even funny. what's even less funny is how my tax dollars are going to pay for its food, daycare, medical, dental, etc. while you struggle with ZERO job/life/financial/marital/parenting experience and produce a kid that, after 18 years of leeching off of my tax contributions will undoubtedly steal from me yet again when he breaks into my home or car.

    oh and FYI men that are in your age range are going to run for the hills the second your EPT comes up positive - no joke. if you want babies now, try older men or just get on some birth control and wait - like the rest of your peers.

  • Get a hobby to get you off this baby thing, altough it's not too warly to have baby by age, it might be too early for mental pressure and duties and stuff...
    You are very normal, but take care...
    And, if a sperm touched egg, It started making baby, and you killed egg by using pill, Its pretty much same like abortion, just with less guilt trip, because it doesn't have baby form yet. :(

    My mom had me at 19, I dont think its way too early but it depends on many other factors. If your relationship isn't stable enough that can be one reason you should wait for instance

    Having a Baby SOLVES YOUR PROBLEMS FOREVER ! It really does. Here are the =6 TOP reasons to have a kid right away. #6= Its solves money problems, you wont have any so you wont have to worry about it. #5= It will solidify your relationship with you abusive, but good-looking boyfriend, and keep him from leaving you. #4 Having a baby makes Divorce less Likely, fulfilling of of HIS dreams as well as yours. #3= Having a baby means more fun, now you can play with your baby all day long and you wont have to worry about free time hobbies or freelancing into things that might or might not interest you, all you do all day is play with a well behaved baby. AND the Number #2= Your MAN just cant wait to get Trapped into his Awesome Job, always having a thought in the back of his head, of how much he enjoys manual labor and the room to grow in the company so he can support not only his awesome baby that he will have to pay 100,000 dollars for collage, but also for his wife, which just wants to sit home and watch TV,I Mean play and take care of the baby being a home maker. The number 1 Reason of having a baby right now, is a better, After birth, sex is better then ever, especially for the guy, who likes extra space,he cant wait to have more. and the wonderful ways of baby of the BODY Molding your body.

    Go to school & get your education. Its not worth the time . I had my son @ 19, two week after my son was born I ended up leaving his father & never looking back. I had to raise him by myself & it wasnt easy. I think your like most young girls, you think a baby will give you the love your lacking. Talk to ur parents , if u can. I never finshed high school, but I made sure my son did. My point is having a baby will put ur life on hold if you & your bf are not ready and sometime we as wemen are left holding the bag. My son will be 25 next month & he is a Good Man. Thanks 2 God.

  • I think when you are ready to & have a baby (and you know you aren't yet) that he or she will be one lucky & welcomed child.
