Answer 1

I KNOW HOW U FEEL BABIES ARE SO CUTE I'VE BEEN WANTING ONE FOR QUITE A WHILE........... BUT REMEMBER THEY DO GROW UP.....I THINK YOU SHOULD WAIT UNTIL AFTER COLLEGE BECAUSE YOU NEVER NO WHAT COULD HAPPEN OR IF YOUR NOT MARRIED THEN WAIT UNTIL THEN......BUT HEY IF YOUR READY GO FOR IT NO ONE CAN MAKE UP YOR MIND FOR U...ADVICE CAN ONLY BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS ALL UP TO YOU...... I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK

Answer 2

Wait a little bit later on the baby. If you want you can do some planning and have the baby born around October or later that way you can still finish, but you are taking the chance of missing school due to pregnancy issues (throwing up, light headed, and possible preterm labor, it is possible). If you really want a baby and have the support I say plan for a baby that will be born AFTER you get out of school. Start trying in February.

Answer 3

Finish school 2 have 1 now will make u believe later that the child was 2 blame for u not getting ur education.U are still young / should not be in a rush.Children are God's blessing so wait till u / mate are settled in ur life 2 have 1Most new mom leave school to have babies then find it 2 hard 2 return for 1 reason or another .

Answer 4

Why in the world would you screw this college thing up when you've worked so hard to get this far, and you only have 5 classes left to graduate? You have PLENTY of time to have a baby, so get yourself situated first before you bring a baby into this world. If anything, think of what would be BEST for the BABY. An educated, independent woman who can take care of herself financially, or an uneducated girl who will end up relying on parents, a guy and the government to put food in her baby's mouth? Come on, now.

Answer 5

Make a list of the things that a baby will need, and multilply the food and clothing costs. Then calculate the cost of a car seat, crib, and other equipment. Then add the costs to go back and forth to your parents house. There are many other unforseen out-of pocket expenses that will come up. But there is no such thing as being completely ready either. I hope this helps. Good luck to you.

Answer 6

I'd wait until classes are over and your done with college the smart thing to do is wait to have a great job cause babies are not cheap plus i hope your married cause a baby needs a daddy good luck

Answer 7

I would actually wait until you graduate. Only because the first three months of a pregnancy tend to be the most unpredictable. Will you be sick, llight headed, able to concentrate on your studies?

Congrats on your education. Celebrate by taking a vacation and start trying then. Good luck

Answer 8

Wait. Finish your 5 classes and then get pregnant. You have plenty of time to have a baby. Once you have a baby, it will be much harder to focus on school. Your baby will take much of your time.

Answer 9

If you think a baby will screw up anything, then you don't need one right now because that's not how a woman should think when they are going into parenthood. But remember that you can never be fully ready for a child.

Answer 10

If you have to wonder whether or not now is a good time to have a baby you should probably wait. You're young and it is best to enter parenthood with as much preparation as possible.
