Is it a bad idea to have a baby after high school?

sure have a baby its not a bad idea seems you made a very good plan to have the baby and you’ll be able to support the child and everything else that you would need right after high school I wish I would have waited in till I graduated cause its hard to do being only 18 and on its my 2nd time being pregnant most thik I would of learned after the first one but the first one was a surprise this time we were planning on having a baby but not right when it happen so its another surprise I guss but I love my son to death and seems you have made up your mind just stick to the plan you have now

have you talked to any trusted friends who have babies? That might be a good place to start. they can give you a realistic picture of what a major responsibility it is to have a baby. Have you talked over the nitty gritty details with your boyfriend? Such as - is he willing to completely support you financially while the baby is still an infant? Talking to as many moms as possible is a great idea. Once you have all the facts and you’re able to work out the details, I would say to follow your bliss, and if that means having a baby, then follow what your heart tells you to do. You could also weigh out the pros & cons of having a baby soon versus waiting until after you go to college. Hope that helps!

yes well if you plan on goin to college bc a baby requires a lot of your time and you wouldnt have time to study bc you would be tried.

My wife had our daughter at 19. She just turned 31 a couple months ago. Her life changed drastically about 4 times between 19 and 31. I can’t tell you how many opportunities she missed/ turned down by having a kid (opportunities that required her packing up and leaving quickly). The 4 times her life changed ranged from working at Sonic, to learning computers and running a computer store, to starting a home cleaning biz with a friend doing millionaire’s homes, to running a major department in an aerospace company. The things she missed out on involved modeling, acting in movies and travel overseas. Obviously, with a baby, you don’t pack up and go traveling overseas (especially if the baby isn’t welcome… or paid for). Our daughter is almost 12 and of course we love her and adore her, but those “what if” questions always linger. And for the doubting Thomases, no, we don’t wish we didn’t have her!
