Pregnant at a young age

Ok, I really want to have a kid when im like 18 or 17.my friend got a girl pregnant, and she ended up having a girl, but after the girl was born, they both died. He doesnt want me to get pregnant at a young age because he thinks its too risky.
But I...

don't know. I know my mom will hate me if I do because were mormon. I mean, I believe in god and all that, but I hate going to church, and I especually hate the mormon standards. They are sooo dumb. But my oldest sister got pregnant at 18, and I want to be a young mother, but I dont know if I should. What do you think?

Do what makes you happy girl! Don't let anyone tell you anything else!

hope I helped, xoxo

I dont think it's good to be a mother so young , I know you want to be a mother and that's good but you shouldnt be in a rush to have childern now. At least get your own home and have a good job, at least be financially ,mentally and emotionally stable before you have a child that will depend on you for everything. Some things are god for later on in your life like in your 20's. Think of it like building a house when you build a house you don't start with the roof first. So in truth you don't have a baby first before you have all the things you need and want.

If you wait until you are more mature and have a husband, you and he will be able to better provide time, money, and effort in raising your child.

Absolutely NO ONE realizes how much their life is going to change when they have a child. I repeat, NO ONE. At least with two of you and a dependable steady job, it will be much easier.

Best Wishes, and
Good Luck!!

well you want to make sure you have a kid with a person you love...not just anyone.

im 15 a mother of 3 and I love it...

I understand you love it, but not everyone has it that easy. Sometimes motherhood is hard for people especially young girls. It's more to it than laying on your back with your legs spread wide and 9 months later a baby pops out. It's a lot more work and sacrifice for most people because everyone is not good at parenting. It's good to hear that you love it , but don't go poisioning people's minds about something that is important and otherwise hard.

no you shouldnt get preganet at a young age because at 18 you would be very young and could not afford a child at that age!!

hun, I had my son 20 days after my 18th birthday. Dont get me wrong I love him to death, but it is so hard. My fionce loves the heck out of him, but wont hardly ever hold him or change him or feed him and NEVER gets up with him in the middle of the night. right now hes working over 200 miles away only coming up on weekends. I am staying in his parents travel trailer with my son because I have no where to go. since hes been born almost 3 months ago I have not slept hardly at all and now I have the flu and cant get rid of it because my immune system is so weak from lack of sleep. So I am alone trying to raise a healthy baby while not being healthy myself, and fighting to stay awake to cater to his every need. Infants are selfish and extremely needy and take your free life away. I love being a parent but I would have much rather waited until I was older to have him.

DO NOT GET PREGNANT! Live your life, have fun, party hard, get a job, then get pregnant when you know who you are, you have someone your committed with, and a stable, successful life.

you have more than PLENTY of time to have a kid/kids.
just have fun right now.

then later get married.have a stable income.a home. and then have kids.

you want the best for your kids & yourself.

Have some time discovering you and enjoy the freedom you haev when you dont have babies. everyone who is young that has babies or are pregnant will say go for it because they have coped with the situation but you may be diferent. having babies is great when the time is right. xx

WAIT UNTIL YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
I also thought I knew it all and left home at 17. In watching friends haveing babies at 18 to 20 lost out on being young carefree adults, where mistakes only effect you not the life of a baby. Think about it...If you want to have a baby...don't you want the best life for her/him...steady job/or income with health care maybe a partner that makes enough that you could be a stay at home mom...a safe home...and your partner(husband) for life. What you want now will change...late twenties also has less risk to the baby and yourself.DON'T GROW UP SO QUICK!!! LIFE IS LONGER THAN YOU THINK,ENJOY EACH CHAPTER OF LIFE
