I can't wait to be a mom. I'm only 15, but for some reason, the idea of being a mom someday really excites me. =]] Don't worry, I'm not gonna go off and have sex just to get pregnant, and blah blah blah blah blah....oh yea, my question. Is this normal though? Do most teens think like this or is it just me?

It is normal....wow this is such a coincidence that i came across this question cuz i am 15 also and jsut TODAY i was watching tv and on TLC, they had some baby show on and my cuzin just recently had a baby, and i get so excited thinking about having a child one day.....and since i feel like my parents made so many mistakes rasiing me and my four bro's, i always think of how i;m going to raise my child(ren) the right way and all that stuff about being a mom.,...i never told anyone this cuz i always thought they would think i was going to go off and get preg just to have a child but no, i would never do tht.....i mean i know it's hard taking care of babies but just the idea of having kids excites me and soo i feel it it such a coincidence that i ran across this question today....so don't worry, it's normal!

It isn't dumb gurl, Im the same way. I have been like that since I was 6! It is normal so don't worry. The thought of me having a mini-mi is beyond exciting, I get all giddy when I think about it. Just as long as you aren't tryna conceive now, it's fine. I'm glad to hear Im not the only one like that. I only meet the young confused girls tryna get pregnant now or the people who don't want kids period. Thanx
Good luck!

Perfectly normal. If you like kids that much, take the Red Cross babysitting course and babysit. You might want to volunteer at a children's center or daycare. You might want to be a candystriper in a maternity area of the hospital. You might consider being a Big Sister (Big Brothers, Big Sisters organization). You might want to help out in the nursery of your church or tutor elementary kids in your school district. All of these things (and more) will give you experience working with kids so that when you do become a mother in later life you will be much better prepared than the average girl.

I don't know if it's all teens are not,,my daughters are 16 and 13 and they say they are NEVER having children. When I was a teen-ager I had the same thoughts you have. I think that's what makes me a good mom,because I've always knew that I always wanted children. And it is best to wait till your a little older, I was 18 when I had my first child.

most of teens feel/think like this... i know i did, but i went out and got pregnant...but it's normal to think like that...that's just a way of our body, etc..telling us we're maturing and everything, i guess..i dunno though...but your normal..
