Q: Okay im 17 and i love my boyfriend to death! We have talk about babies a few times and we both want one but our only problem is that we have no money so we dropped the subject, well atleast he did. I really want one but i dont know why. I thought it was just a faze but i been wanting one for awhile now! I love babies. Im going to college to be a midwife and ultrasound tech. Its a possibility that i may be pregnant now but i wont know til this weekend. I dont know how he will react if i was but if im not i may be real upset. I dont really like kids though lol well kids that im not use to. They all seem so bad but my lil brother is one of the baddest kids i know and i love him soo much! Maybe because he was raised around me so he listens to me. Hummm i think i would be a good mother and i know i would love my kid even as it grows cause i mean its mine. What do i do? Do i talk to him about having one? Or just keep praying that the subject pops up and he tells me that he's ready? Im young but i know i can do it. i dont know help? =]
I have that same feeling to, im pretty sure a lot of girls do.. since its out instinct to have kids. My friend got pregnant when she was 16 not meaning to she just had her baby.. she had to drop out of school to get a job.. she literally works all the time and when shes not working shes with her boyfriend and baby we NEVER she her, but we understand. You may seem like your ready but if you dont have a stable job then dont get pregnant its just going to cause problems wait until your out of school with a stable job that brings in good money. im 17 and i wanted a baby really bad, i love my boyfriend to death and i thought we were ready and so did he we tried to get pregnant even but i didn't and im glad for that because im still in highschool and i have a job and so does my boyfriend but its nearly not enough money to support a child. Seeing my friend and how much she has to work just to bring in the least amount of money possible to raise a child is scary, just wait until your older, have a place of your own and are REALLY ready. Think of all the things you do probably now, and how much of those things you will be able to do with a baby... not much. It will be so much easier for you, a baby and your boyfriend if you wait.. trust me

I know im not ready to give up partying or working all day so i think ill just wait til i know im ready and he is too!
Thanks a ton! =]
