Answer #1

I hope you have a ring and a date and are financially/emotionally established..many people, if not most, are not the same people at 21 that they were at 16..no need to ‘rush’..I wish you the best !!

Answer #2

Make sure you are making the right decision. A lot of young people want a baby, but for selfish reasons. They just want the baby even though they can’t care for one. So make sure you have:

-health care -regular ob-gyn visits -money -a place of your own with room for another person, this could mean renting or owning, but living in Mommy’s basement doesn’t really count -prenatal vitamins -knowledge of prenatal and child development -an education -an understanding of your cycle and your fertility

At 16, chances are you cannot give a baby everything it deserves.

Also, at 16, how long could you possibly even been trying for a baby? Sometimes it takes a year or more to have a baby. We’re only at peak fertility a couple of days per month after all. If you’re trying to get pregnant, you should already know all about your fertility and when you are most fertile. If you don’t know that stuff, you should hold off on trying for a baby until you do some research.
