Planning a prego-cee at 18?(:

im almost 18 years old. I’v completely found the one &he’s everything I’v honestly ever pictured,… but more &ilovehim with my entire heart. he’s almost 25.. he has served in iraq as a marine and he owns his own buisness. right now he’s working 2 jobs to make sure our future gets started off right. he wants too get married & have our first babii almost immediately in 2months, I won’t lie.. this beyond excites me. I want nothing more than to have a successful marriage &start a family. I really think it’d work out, im been thru hell and anyone that knows me would say im more mature than most in the mid-twenties.. I think he &I could really be happy with this choice. im ready to put the work in(: &im the type of girl that dedicates to the extreme.(: what are your thoughts?

Answer #1

personally I thought the same thing before. Im 18 as well and always have been mature. been in college since freshman year of highschool, and nobody could tell I wasnt 18 then, lol. Anyways my point, Im now pregnant and realizing the things im not going to be able to do whether I want to or not. The things I cant say and can say, your that childs role model. Usually men date women like their mothers and vice versa. Everyone makes mistakes, but sometimes those mistakes will have drastic effects. But yet again, I have always been way to hard on myself. I blame my mother for that one but thank her for it at the same time.. I dont settle for just okay. Yep.. Now im off topic… Anyways im about 19 weeks at this point, and I get the first ultrasound in a week, we’re hoping for a boy. I say you’ll know when it’s right. But 18 is still a bit young, you know.

Im sure any parent can agree, after that child is born it’s no longer about you or your marriage or you love life. It’s about that child. Pretty much think of running two lives at once. babysitter to work to babysitter, home, dinner, late night monsters in the closet xD

Answer #2

dont ruin your life you still have college ahead off you or whatever you want to be and make out of your self. A baby you well have to throw that away and end up working at a place that doesnt make so much it best to just wait. He doesnt understand because he old enough he already has he jumps he set your not.

Answer #3

I would seriously think it through. Having a kid that early can put a lot of plans on hold. Definately think it through and I would suggest waiting a while until you are 100% certain. Sam

Answer #4

Give your marriage at least two years before even thinking of having kids. This will give you time to work out the little kinks in a marriage. Getting past the pet peeves of the other person is a lot when first starting out in a marriage. Also, make sure the business is going to survive before bringing a kid in the world. The first two to five years in a business will decide if it will survive especially in these times. If you guys have that much love what’s a couple of more years waiting gonna hurt. It’ll give you both time to grow and see what future you have.

Answer #5

its seems you to are very much in love and if you think it will work then on all means go for it, but remember your young once, having a child you will have to grow up very quicky, your 18, your legal to go out with your friends and drink (if you live in the UK). you may have it all set out but things will eventually change one you have a little one in your life. hope all the best.

Answer #6

Well for one - if you’re sure about this, why are you asking other people on an advice website to answer for you? Think about it a bit more, at 18 you should be living a little. Theres always time, if he loves you he will wait :)

Answer #7

If you’re that much in love and that happy, why the rush?

You still have your whole life ahead of you.

I agree with chica…live a little. figure out if this is REALLY what you want before you do it. It’s a HUGE step to be taking at 18

Answer #8

18…live a little. You’re young just make sure if this is what you really want. Your gonna bring a child into the world make sure everything is in order and structured. A baby changes everything..

Answer #9

well if you are absolutely sure

he sounds like a good guy and I really hope you know you are going to be happy when you have a baby everything will change. but I think you will do the best you can. best of luck ={D
