I would like to hear from you your reasons for wanting a baby and who you plan on having one with. I am also curious to know what your plans are as far as where you will live, how you make money to support the baby, who will take care of it while you work? Just wondering because I always hear about them wanting babies, but never hear about "how" they are going to do it?

I'm glad that I'm getting some answers but my question was specifically for teenage girls that want a baby and are trying to have one. Not the ones that got pregnant by accident.

I'll answer your question. I was 17 years old and a senior in high school. I had excellent grades and a scholarship for college. I didn't "want" a baby. I was stupid and did things I had no business doing and found myself pregnant. Abortion was never an option for me, I believe it is morally wrong to kill a child. So what did I do? Well, I was one of the lucky ones. The baby's father, who had already graduated and was holding a full time job, married me. Fortunately we have an excellent relationship still after six years. I'm proud to say my parents didn't coddle me. I was raised in money, but found myself refusing to make my parents deal with another child for my sake. I moved into a crummy trailer park with my new husband, got a job, (no welfare) and had my child. The only help I got from anyone was a baby shower. After my daughter was born, I paid my mother, who is retired one hundred dollars a week to babysit my daughter while I worked. I believe I've done well for myself. We now live in a modest but nice single family home that I am paying for, and due to various raises on my husbands part, I have only to hold a part time job. So, no, I didn't want a child, but now I have her, and a beautiful son, and I love them both dearly. I wouldn't change a thing.

Ill awnser your question~
I was 15yrs old and found out i was pregant. My daughters dad was 19 and just enlisted into the army. I wasnt trying or "wanting" to get pregnant. But i was also being neive and saying this will never happen to me. I was a sophmore when i got pregnant and i actually finished the semester then was homeschooled the rest of the year. After i had my abbey i went back and actualy finished highschool even graduated early. I had a family friend watch her while i was at school. After highschool i went and worked full time. I supported me and my daughter myself. My mom was nice enough to where we could live there but anything i needed or abbey needed i paid for. 3 years later i have a beautiful daughter who just started pre-school and a wonderful husband (who isnt abbeys dad, he passed away in iraq) and another baby on the way. I feel that teenagers who have babies arent a cinderella story, but if they are mature enough to take responsibility than they can achieve anything. Im 19 witha wonderful husband a beautiful 3 yr old daughter and a house that me and him just purchased. I wouldnt change my life at all.
