You and your boyfriend want to have a baby? Do you both have jobs and a good home for the baby? Or do you both expect Mom and Dad to raise and support this child too? Having a baby is a life long commitment. It no longer is about you, everything is about the baby.
You should be thinking about proms, going to the movies with your friends, girl sleep overs etc.. Why would you want a baby now? This is your time. Time for you to grow, to learn, to enjoy.
How about school, college, a career. Don't you think your child deserves the very best? How about two mature parents, a good home financial security? The only way to give your child the best is to be your best. Finnish school, go to college, get a good job, when your ready and find the right person you will know it. Then you can have sometime for the two of you. Maybe then you will both be ready to give all the right thing to a child. You see it's not about you and your boyfriend and what you want. It should be about what you two have to offer a child. Your parents raised their children. Don't expect them to raise yous too. Nanc

You are only 15 trust me you should wait to have a baby! I know you prob hear this from everyone and this isn't what you want to hear If it happens then it happens but you have to put your self aside and think of the baby do you have health ins? Do you have money for everything you are going to need cloths, formula, diapers, wipes, even toys! You want the best for your baby make sure you can give you baby that be for you try getting pregnant please! You and you boyfriend should have fun together enjoy being young and in love go to the movies go out to eat maybe even vacations all that stuff is sooo hard once you have children. Are you ready to put your life on hold and become a mother? Think about this a little more.

Okay mommy. Its like this I can explain it to you on my point of view. You are just a baby yourself so how can you take care of someone and you hardley can take care of yourself. You are really not that old enough to just work and then you are still in school. I am sure you are wanna go to prom. What if you dont have a sitter for the night? What if you stay up all night with the baby and you have a huge exam in the morning and you get no sleep? What if your so called boyfriend now after the baby doesnt want to step up to the plate and be a father? You have to ask yourself questions over and over. Dont even put youself in the position if you are having sex please keep it protected and birthcontrol wouldnt be a bad idea.

15 years old isn't ready to have a baby. I'm 38 and now just ready to have my first child. You need to get your life ready for this child--get your education and find a decent paying job--then you can consider having a child later. You two are not able at this time to support a child--it will be up to your parents and they have already had their children.
Just wait until you have completed your education and get a job. You have plenty of time. There is no reason to rush.

Wait. You're 15, it's not the best time to have a baby. They do cost a lot of money and require a lot of time. You're still in high school and you can't get a job good enough to be able to afford a baby. Just wait a few years when circumstances will be better. It'll be worth the wait.

It's OK to want a baby, but you need to be practical here, how would you support this baby, Hw would you be able to reach your full potential and becaome the person you are supposed to be if you can't finishe your education because you have a child. How are you going to feed and clothe this child. I understand that the want is strong, but if you want a happy child, you seriously need to get your life in order first 5 years might seem like an eternity to you, but it will be gone in a flash, in the meantime, you can get yourself ready to offer a good home for your little bundle of joy. You need to consider that if you can't provide for your baby, the state will take him away from you and adopt him to someone who can, the pain of that will absolutely slay you for the rest of your life

You are not ready...if your parents would flip out then take that as a hint.
Also have you thought about the money situation? Do you live with your parents? Do you have your own insurance? Do you have a plan on how you are going to start a career with a child?
Think it through and wait until you are an adult

Get a job. You will need to make at least $20K a year to afford the baby. Move out. Do what ever you want. Keep in mind that a baby is a 24 hour a day job.

At 15, you have no idea how hard it is to not only go through 9 months of pregnancy, but how to care for another person yet. Live your life for yourself right now. If you have a baby, your whole life will change. You have plenty of time.
