Is being pregnant a good thing for 18 years old if they have financially stable job?

Answer 1

If the father has a good job, and the mother is prepared to be a mother and assume major responsibility for her kid, with only a little help and advice from grandparents, then it is probably a good thing to start early. I am, of course, assuming that you sincerely love each other, you have no drug or alcohol problems to make this a mess, and that you are basically being mature adults.

Yes, people can be mature adults at 18. In the previous century or two, it was expected. Most people had their kids while they were relatively young. The 18-line was you get out of high school first; only a fairly small percentage of the population went to college, and there was lots of married student housing at the larger universities and colleges.

Answer 2

Science says that at 18 your brain and bones aren't even finished growing. Regardless of what science says, the 18-year-old should have another several years of enjoying being grown-up, building a future, and putting some finishing touches on emotional maturity and philosophy of life. Most people who know 18-year-olds are fairly certain people that age aren't mature enough to be emotionally ready to be the right kind of parent. Both the young mother and the child tend to be short-changed when it comes to some important things in life.

As someone else here said, the job is fine until some complication in the pregnancy shows up or the baby arrives early and in need of special care; and then you can say "good-bye" to the job. Besides, any chance that "financially stable job" seems like better money to an 18-year-old than it really is?

While there may be exceptions, on the whole being pregnant at 18 is not a good thing.

Good Things About Being Pregnant

Answer 4

The job doesn't have so much to do with it although it's a wonderful addition. :) Your mental readiness to have a baby and your support group around you- who would be there for you when you just want to cry your eyes out when your hormonal? Will this person/persons understand and comfort you? Even if this outburst is only because you wanted gummy bears but could only find gummy worms? LOL I know it sounds silly but after a bad day that could be the thing to set you off. :) But yes, I think that if you are physically, financially, and mentally ready then 18 is a fine age to have children. Good luck.

Answer 5

well, I say being a mommy is the best thing that could ever happen to you, but there's a time for everything, I am a mother of two, one is 7 and the other is 4, i wouldn't change them for the world, but I would change the time I had them, I was 20, and I couldn't spend enough time with my husband because babies require constant attention and caring, and when they are born, you forget about yourself, so my advice would be to wait a few years more and enjoy yourselves, go out, study, and become a better person, a mature and wise person, so when the babies come you will be a ready to dedicate yourself to that little human being who will give a different an beautiful focus to your life. God bless you!

Answer 6

Uh no and yes....no b/c u still have alot of living to do and believe me u will grow out of this boy that u want or wants to be ur baby daddy!! Yes only b/c of the financial stability which will take alot of load off of the mother cause the Daddy will eventually stray either from u, the baby, or both. So if ur not pregnant already slow ur roll enjoy being a girl, enjoy life, and let it be all about u for now and not a baby, a man, and the responsibilities that come along with them. And if ur pregnant, educate urself on being a working mommy, raising a baby, take financial budgetting classes, dont be too high and mighty to take the assistance the states has to over like continuing education, houses, food stamps, whatever cause if I could I would and once u r completely on ur feet and can maintain just u and the baby stop the assistance but its a stepping stone. Educate urself.

Answer 7

The pregnancy is relatively easy compared to what comes after you give birth. Finances don't have a whole lot to do with it. Are you emotionally mature enough to take care of yourself while you're pregnant? After the baby's born, are you emotionally mature enough to care for another human being that needs almost constant attention? Stable job or no, being a parent is one of the hardest jobs you will ever have. Finances don't play a huge part in it.

Answer 8

There's a hell of a lot more to being a parent than being able to financially support the baby. It doesn't matter if the 18 year old is a millionaire--if they're not patient, mature, or caring, they'll make a terrible parent.

Answer 9

It cant be a bad thing unless they dont want the baby. If they are stable and ready to love a child then i see no reason. I was 18 with my first pregnancy now i have four beatiful children and I am totally responsible financially and in every other way so as long as he/she/they are ready go for it. best wishes

Answer 10

Well if it were my daughter who was 18 and wondered about having a child, I'd strongly encourage her to do things, see the world, gain life experiences. Being pregnant is a wonderful experience, but after you have the baby, it's hard, even if you are financially stable.
