Why do i want a baby so badly?

Since I was twelve I always wanted to know what pregnancy would be like. But it wasn't until now that I really wanted a baby. I'm still a virgin and I want to keep it that way until I get married. I've been making pregnancy pillows out of whatever I can and I'll put them under a loose shirt and I'll just stare in the mirror caressing my fake stomach for hours. I've even gotten to the point where I not only fake the tummy, but I also put two bras on to fake the way your boobs get bigger during pregnancy. So is it normal that I'm only 19 and I want to be pregnant so bad?

    It's your biological clock ticking... If you ask me, dont have kids... This worlds over-populated, and you're too young. I suggest you wait a couple years, and see how your hormones adjust in your adult life.

    A little yes and a little no. I do desire to get married and become a mom one day just as you do. I just think it's not very healthy to let that desire consume you. I am guilty of letting the desire of getting married and having children consume me sometimes too its just... remember this time in your life only comes once. Make the best of what is going on with you now because being married, pregnant, and having children isn't as easy as it seems. One day you will wish you could go back to the days when you didn't have all the responsiblities that being a wife and mother have. It is ok to desire and dream of being married and having children (most people do), just don't allow it to consume you so much that you don't take time to enjoy what's going on in your life right now!

    I think this is absolutely normal! God created, no, he DESIGNED, woman to carry a baby inside her and give birth to a tiny miracle!! There is nothing weird about the longing to carry life inside your belly. Do you know how amazing that is?

    Instead of daydreaming about pregnancy, if there are any babies in your family, or if friends have babies, why don't you agree to look after them for a weekend or when their parents are on vacation, or whatever? Pregnancy is only 9 months, taking care of a crying, colicky, demanding baby goes on and on.

    If that doesn't put a damper on your dreams of pregnancy, while you're playing pregnant, think about the hemorrhoids, swollen ankles, constaing peeing, farting and everything else that comes with pregnancy. And then think about the ugly loose skin on your tummy, weight gain, varicose veins and sagging boobs that you'll have "after" the baby is born.

    It has gotten to the point where I had to buy a 9 months practise pregnant belly suite which I had to give up in March 2013, since my one and only bf found it and took to a charity shop. However I never really said that I had brought it or why. I feel empty without it.

    I loved to still act very very fat and pregnant too wearing tight clothes (sometimes I wear an old swimming suite stuffed to the max) and a very tight belt. It does not feel the same anymore, and does not feel like I am carrying a baby.

    Take heed of what Mayfair says. It is not all ribbons and bows and cute little cribs. It's a fact that women are made to give birth to babies, but there is no rush these days. Take your time and enjoy your single days of discovery before you land up on the dribble and dia[ers and screeching kids and worn out body. Not saying its all horrible..but if you don't take time to find the right guy..it can be a lonely and hard climb up the hill.

    normal to want kids but get your mind into something else so you stop obsessing, you will have em some day, but its not normal to pretend!!

    It's perfectly normal but if you can't control it, it may be time to see a doctor/endocrinologist/psychiatrist about it. This shouldn't rule your life, but for too many women, it does. You may be helped to achieve better long range goals if you have a bit of hormone balancing.

    I think it can be normal, for many reasons, to desire a child so badly. However, I would emphasise what other posters have said and urge you to think things through carefully, whatever you do. Make sure you don't rush into getting married etc just so you can achieve this goal - it isn't likely to end well. All the best with whatever you do :)

    Totally agree with caps90 especially the last bits. I had my 1st at 19 and although I wouldn't trade my child for anything, I missed out on alot of things. As long as it doesn't become consuming to your everyday life I don't see it being a problem

      Or a serial killer or a lazy hippie who refuses to contribute anything to society. It can go either way, you know.
