It's wonderful that you want to have a baby and it is normal to want to have children, but what you don't want to do is "jump the gun" because it isn't fair to you or your baby. Your baby deserves the very best and that includes to have a married mom and dad at birth.
Pray a lot and ask your pastor's wife to pray for you. We all need prayer. If you don't attend a Christian church, the best thing you can do for you and your boyfriend and future children is to get involved.
"Those who pray together stay together.." and you don't want to be raising a child alone like the great majority of women today; it is very hard on them and their precious children.

I've been feeling the same way and i don't even have a partner! but then i am really caring and am not really wanting to have my own child yet but give an unwanted or special child a loving home and "mum" to care for them (see my question on that). I can see myself doing it.
But in your case, wait until you're married and try not to scare your boyfriend too much! raising a child is hard work and you need to be secure in your relationship. if it happened now then thats great news and sweet :-) but if you can it'd be best to wait. you're just getting excited about the possibility of having a child with your future husband but distract yourself with marriage plans and perhaps start a new account and start saving for a baby then you can still be excited but not rush into anything without being sure and ready.
best of luck ;-)

i know what you mean, except i am married, and we do want kids, just right now is not the best time for one. we need to save a little more money, and then maybe this year. i love looking at the clothes, especially shoes! it is a smart choice to wait until you are married, and settled down. just don't do anything like have unprotected sex, and tell your boyfriend to stop freaking out. if it scares him that much, you might want to find out why. you are still very young (i'm 29), so you have years to go. you need to be stable financially and mentally, but only you know when you two are ready.
