im young,but not too young. I can't help but feeling so down about not being pregnant. I dont know why thats the frusterating part. i have been spotting for a while so i went to the doctor and i had to get blood drawn to see if i was pregnant and it came up negative. i was kind of hoping i was and now im really sad and angry. i guess God has plans for me until im really ready.

Babies are cute and all but they are a lot of work.
A baby is relying on the parent to be able to use their natural instincts and stay calm when short of sleep, or baby is puking on you or having diarrhea and you've gone thru 8 outfits and have no more diapers, a parent can't freak out and not have a clue what to do, or do something that they have no idea might endanger baby.
Its hard enough for two parents to take care of and becomes a strain on the relationship. So if the guy gets jealous over the amt of time baby is getting over him, he could just take off and never return, or, there could be loss of libido for a while for you, sex changes somehow and again the guy doesn't like the situation, the crying baby and you maybe not looking quite as you did before. If the man isn't totally deeply in love and committed to being with you for life...then don't think about having a baby yet.
Another reason I believe it's best not to have kids while you are young is that all of us don't have the frontal part of our brain finish fully developing until our mid twenties. This part of the brain is responsible for our being able to make the best judgement calls, good decisions, being logical, which we lack alot of while being teens and early twenties. I know...i remember what i was like at that time...a fairly good kid but i did some stupid things too.
So the best thing to do while young is invest time into yourself, boosting your self image, that sort of thing. Become the most confident, mature, easy going, happy person you can be.
Hope this helps you [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
