Should I have a baby now or wait?

Ok, me and my lovely boyfriend want a baby. I have reasons why I want to and reason why I don’t want to. My first reason, I only have one ovary and I’m not sure if I wait long, that I would still be as fertile as I am now. Another reason why I want a baby is because I myself love having children around me 24/7 :D and my boyfriend and I would be financially ready. The things that hold me back is that I have not graduated from high school and I know that people would look down upon me for that. I seriously have no clue what to do. He wants to have a child around the middle of next year, by the time I graduate. And he is obviously not forcing me to get pregnant but he knows that I really want to share something special with him. I have read a lot on teenage pregnancies and there are both bad and good stories and I can definitely see the truth on both sides. I am just not sure what to do. Wait until I graduate, or wait later??? thanx ladies and gentlemen :D

Answer #3

I REALLY FEEL THAT YOU SHOULD WAIT UNTIL YOU GRADUATE! THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN TODAYS SOCIETY. I ALSO FEEL THAT MAYBE YOU SHOULD MAKE ALITTLE BIGGER COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER SUCH AS MARRIAGE. BROKEN FAMILY BABIES ARE NOT HAPPY. GOOD LUCK YOU SEEM SMART

Answer #4

Ok, if i read one of your posts..you are 18, and your bf is 24. Dont let him push you into something just because hes 24 and may be ready for a child. Thats a BIG step for someone who is just graduating from high school! Whats wrong with just sharing your time, and love for each other for now? Are you planning on getting married before having a baby? Why the rush? What are your plans after high school….college? You cant let him influence you on what HE wants, he has 6 yrs on you! You have ALOT of time for planning a family….Enjoy these precious teenage years and stop trying to grow up so fast!!

Answer #5

I definetly think you should wait. I understand you want a baby and may feel ready, but you need to graduate atleast 1st and focus on you for a while, you are only 18, and you are going to have a baby to look after at the prime of your life, the next few years is when you set yourself up in your career and make some money and enjoy your life, go out with friends, maybe travel. You have the rest of your life to have a baby, you have one good ovary so you will be fertile in a few years still. Its not like your running out of time. So in my opinion i think you should wait a few more years and by then you’ll be more ready and want it even more.
