Don't get pregnant this early, you have a full life ahead of you. You can have the money sure...but just think about it. You still have to graduate and go to college. It's whats best for the baby to have a mom and dad that have good jobs that earn a lot of income and your best bet is college. Wait until you get married and graduate from college. It's worth the wait.

Bet one of those baby dolls that are like the real thing. They cry all the time, need to be fed, walked, rocked, changed, etc.. A lot of schools are using them to show teens and preteens why they should not have sex or at least have safe sex. The dolls record the quality of care they are getting. Take care of one over the weekend, and see how you feel at the end.
Now look at the prices for the different dolls. Expensive? Not even close to what you will spend on the real thing. A crib, mattress, sheets, blankets, clothes (new ones only every three months if you're lucky), diapers, wipes, dresser for the clothes, changing table, car seat, stroller, bibs, feeding products, safety items, baby bath, hygiene products, not to mention all the maternity clothes you will need. Doctor's appointments, toys, books, any everything you will need throughout the years. This is a life long commitment that you are thinking about, not just a year or so of baby cuteness.

DO NOT DO IT!
16 is way too young to start PLANNING on a baby... You should be atleast graduated from high school. DONT go getting pregnant because u want a baby. Instead, consider getting a job at a daycare center. It will give you the experience of being around children and getting paid for it. And you wont be losing out on your teenage years and graduating high school and college. I know you CAN do this stuff after having a baby, but the success rate is low for that.
USE YOUR HEAD... your parents and his parents are right.

My sister has a 2 month old baby and shes 16 she would like to give you a WARNING!!!!THIS is HER words not mine.
16 is TOO YOUNG take it from me as much as you thank you are ready your really not. not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. Most 30 year old women aren't ready for the journey. Its the hardest thing i have EVER had to do. You have your whole life in front of you and you will have the chance to be a mommy later in life. Enjoy having a life cause after you have a baby its there life not yours.

Your not old enough I was one year older than you when I got pregnant with my daughter whom is now 10 months old (a little monster might I add) And I thought I had enough money. WRONG oh god was I dead wrong. I thought I could handle the pain Right , that I could do, but contraction oh no no. You need to think about the other people around you and the child you want to bring into this world, How do you think this childs furture. You need to finish school and get a good job, before you even consider having a baby. Best wishes But don't do it please

I got preg. when I was 16 as well and had the baby at 17. I don't blame your parents. If yo uare smart you will wait! A baby is alot of responsabilty at that age. Sometime swe do not need what we want at that age!

honey wait at least two years please....get out of high school first. I had my daughter at 18, and it was HARD then. YOu need to feel loved, thats all. Go volunteer at a daycare or YMCA to curb your hunger first.

Maybe you should grow up first and get a job and a life before you think about children
