Should l have a baby at 19?

Lately I have been seeing all these women with their babies, and I have been feeling like I am ready to have one. But I don’t want one. Is that some kind of sign or something!

Answer #1

Oh yeah, and by the way to everyone that says, “I dont know if I want one”, is a good sign not to have one. Guess what, you are wrong!!! Way wrong, when people make a big decision like this in their lives, they ask themselves multiple times if they want to do it, and this and that. I agree with the poster on this one, if you dont have a child, or you are under the age of 19 DO NOT write this lady! She wants advice not a 13 year olds opinion!!!

Answer #2

Im sorry but I cant help you.. Im only 15 and my mind really wants a baby, yet I dont feel like im ready haha so im in the opposite situation to you.. 19 is definatly not to young, if I was 19 I would definatly consider having a baby. Maybe you do really want one? You just havnt realised it yet..

I wish you good luck (:

Answer #3

girl live your life for a while have one in a couple years like babies are great but enjoy your life for a while before you go doing that

Answer #4

i think that you should follow your mind,all women want babies,its just the calling of nature, but its all about if you are really ready for this great responsibility or not, have your time, you are still young, instead of doing it and then feel regret,good luck.

Answer #5

well uh i hate to break it to you, but once someone starts getting their period in their early teens years, their BODY is pretty much all set and ready to have a baby. but like you said, you’re MIND isn’t ready. why have a baby if your MIND isn’t wanting one?!

Answer #6

Can you support a baby on your income? Is the father responsible? Think about the questions like these and make your decision (just don’t ‘do it’ on a whim!), I hope it’s the right one. Personally, I would wait.

Answer #7

I think that you are going through “ baby fever”. Thats what I call it. But see, im 20, and im 7 months into my pregnancy, and loving every moment of it. I am in the military and so is my husband. I have a stable job, and I have learned so much already about my unborn. I am also currently attending Central Texas College Online, working towards my bachelors degree in Criminal Law. Look, I dont think it has to do with “oh you haven’t lived yet, for god sake you havent even turned 21.” I think it has to do with what level or “stage” your at in your life! Look having a child is one of the toughest things you will EVER do, but it is one of the most rewarding. Do what you think is right, and what you are ready for… You need to have your future planned, so that your child will have a great future as well. Thats my opinion, everyone is entitled to one!

Answer #9

I personaly know what you are going through. I am 16 and I FEEL ready to have babies. actualy Iv felt ready since I was 11 when I started my period but the thing is I am not emotionaly ready are you. could you realy put up with a squaling little poop machine day in and day out. I have decided to wait till Im 23 before doing anything maybe then I will BE ready. I think you should wait too. This is just my opinion but I think it’s a good one. Honestly don’t listen to what everyone else says just do what you feel is right also take some of the advice already up there.

Answer #10

catgirl You said: “NO you are way to young to have a baby at 19.” ok, I am 19 about to be 20 in 20 days and your 13…YOu have no say in this. So you should go read a book or something, All I ask is there anyone that was able to explain to me WHY I FEEL THIS WAY, and I am getting all these responces about how to take care of a baby, and its too much work. That wasn’t my question. If you are under the age of 20 you shouldn’t be answering this question. But thank you anyway for wasting my time everyone.

Answer #11

trust me life is over after having a child. Having children isnt a game it is a full time job! It is not something to be taken lightly at the age of nineteen. Think about when you hit 21 what do you want to be doing changing a diaper or out having a good time? Can you support the child, deal with the crying in the middle of the night when he/she turns two they dont know how to listen and they just keep on screaming. Can you tell I’m a mom. I love it but at nineteen you are very young and its a big responsibility. I’m 39 and its a big responsibility!!!

Answer #12

its your decision

Answer #13

NO you are way to young to have a baby at 19.

Answer #14

If you’re questioning it then you’re pretty hesitant…

Answer #15

But I don’t want one.

There’s your answer.

Answer #16

And I had also said I feel like I want one, I think its because my body is ready but muy mind isn’t. I’m just not sure, what it is really!

Answer #17

Think About It: You said yourself that you don’t want one, why get one? Do you want to cope with laboring pain at 19?

Answer #18

I know how to take care of a child, I know everything there is to know about taking care of one. But thank you everyone.
