I think you probably will change your mind once you're in school. I don't think anything is harder than being a new mom half way through college. Can't keep a baby in the dorms and the price of child care while your attending classes . . .? It would be tough.
I have to agree with the 3rd answer, 25 is a nice age to have a child. 30 is better because you get to actually enjoy being young and not tied down in your 20's.
you know what they say . . .
40 is the new 30
30 is the new 20
20 you're still a child . . .and should have fun.

There is nothing wrong in dreaming of having a baby sometime but give yourself a chance to experience life on your own a bit and finish the schooling first if you aren't pregnant right now . Your young and although you may be able to handle it , there is no pressure to actively try for a baby at your age . You only live once and your only young once , I recommend enjoying that first , then baby can come later after you have established some time for yourself and enjoyed the freedom you have to do as you like which everyone could use a bit of . Just enjoy dating and having fun with friends before taking on the major responsibility at a young age . You can do both , no need to settle for just one , but one thing at a time is best .

ok, right now- breathe, and calm down! u r ONLY 16! right now worry about things that r happening now. like homecoming, ur chem class. while thinking about the future is okay, letting it consume ur life is not. by doing that u rnt really living life, ur only worrying about ur future life. and u should go to college! how will u know whether u want a baby at 20? who knows if u will have a serious enough boyfriend for that or if u will have the means of support then. my advise is to lay off that dream for a little bit longer- till a time when u can handle that responsibility. it would only be better for u and ur future baby. good luck! :)

Do you know how hard it is to have a child? Babies are not puppies, not accessories they are people. Do you know how much it costs to have a child? For diapers and formula and clothes? They are not babies for very long by the time you know it they are toddlers and then they are going to school. You will most likely just let your mom keep your kid when you finally realize it is not much fun having a screaming baby and you want to go out and party like 20 year olds do. My advice go out and buy a nice purse or a tea cup poodle something other than than a baby to draw attention to yourself. In reality that is all you really want the attention a baby brings.

planning a baby like that is kinda smart kind of dumb. smart becasue you are concous of what you want. dumb because you may or may not be able to just pop one out. BUT. if you really want a family and not a career then go for that. at 20 you can be done with college but thats if you work your tail off and dont take a summer break. or you could just get a associates degree and then see if the family thing works out. but i mean there is also the question of where is your man? kinda need one of those to have a kid anyway so if you go to college you can get one of those but you will have to wade through a whole lot of donors but finding a actual husband is a little bit of work.

Are you nuts! Look I am 30and had my little girl at 20. don't get me wrong I wouldn't trade her for anything but I do wish that I had been through college before I had her. it is very hard to jugle school, parenting, and working. I am struggleing as it is with hardly any help. But , from me to you wait till ur secure with ur degree and job and have a place to provide shelter food and a happy life for the child. and please make sure that U have a stable relationship before u jump into things. Because a a young age a child can turn your whole world inside out if you try to make it as a single mom at the age of 20. It did mine.

woooo kiddo! life may seem like a forever deal for you at 16, but it can be gone in a heartbeat. relax, slow down and enjoy these years, 20 will come soon enough. babies will come soon enough. just keep in mind that once that bundle of joy comes into your life, it's there for 20 yrs or more, and your life slips into the background/back burner if you will, and your whole world becomes centered around that child, day and night, 24/7 365! So go to college, have a good time, but remember your there to learn. be good to yourself always. hugs

I would have to ask you to wait to have children. I got pregnant at 20 had my kid by 21 I wish that I would have waited just a little longer to do it. I didn't get the chance to go to college so in you best interest I think that you should go to school and then later on think about having kids. Don't get me wrong I love my kids and wouldn't give them up for anything but just wish that I would have waited a bit longer.

wait till you finish school. you have a chance now, once you have a baby it will be so hard for you and sooooo much extra money for care for the baby unless your really lucky and can get it free.you are in a position to do something with your life, why screw it up? make a good life for the child before you bring it in to the world.
