Answer 1

Perhaps you should borrow a baby for a week and then tell us how badly you want one. Sorry to be negative but babies are not toys and once you have a baby say goodbye to life as you know it.

Graduate, go to college, get a career, have fun.

I am watching my daughter wave goodbye to the last of her teen years as she is now pregnant and due next month. She and her boyfriend were madly in love they are now not even communicating.

He goes out and has fun and she is busting out all over, uncomfortable with no social life. Her friends think she is boring now that she is about to become a mom.

There is plenty of time for babies but for now enjoy being young and free.

Answer 2

My friend got pregnant right after high school and is now going back to school and working part time. I really do hope you're planning on getting a job or going back to school eventually. As long as you can support yourselves and the baby without your parent's help, I've seen from my friend that it can be done. She and her boyfriend are getting married next month, and the baby is surrounded by love.

Just make sure you are fully aware of what you are getting yourselves into (I know EVERYONE must tell you that), and realize that it is going to be much, much harder than you think.

This worked for my friend and her fiance because they made an intelligent, conscious decision that this was the path they wanted to take together, and thought through absolutely EVERYTHING before they did anything. Make sure you spend ALOT of time really planning out what your future life is going to be like (how you'll support yourself, where you'll live, etc.) before going any further. This is NOT something to be impulsive about.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Certainly not anytime soon. If you seriously want a baby, then you want what is best for your baby. Wait until you are able to establish financial stability, a good job, a college education. Wait until you have had the opportunity to experience life. Buy a reliable vehicle, and a home (of your own) for the baby to be raised in. A baby is not a way out of your "troubles". Although kids are fun, talk to at least 10 teenage parents about the hardship of being a young role model, it may open your eyes to what is actually involved in raising a child.

Answer 4

Get a job first, then start popping out babies. Who will support you and your baby? The government? People like me who work their butts off only to get the crap taxed out of our checks? Seriously, THINK before you act...having a baby @ 18 when you are barely out of high school is crazy. I am 28 and pregnant with my first kid and I'M having a nervous breakdown, I could not imagine having a baby @ 18. Having a baby is not all fun and games, it is A LOT of responsibilities and if you are just getting out of high school you have no idea what REAL responsibility is. At 18, you should be more concerned with partying your butt off before you go to college.

Answer 5

the best time for you to get pregant is after you get your diploma from college, have a steady career, have enough money in the bank, & most importantly are married. i know you dont want to hear this but its not very smart to have a baby in high school or when you're not married. if you do get pregant, you're gonna be screwed because your boyfriend will probably leave you once he finds out. & he'll just leave you with all the responsibility & wont help you with anything. he says he wants to have a baby but maybe he wants to get in your pants... sorry to say but someone has to say it.. "/



it's amazing how i'm only 16, 17 in less then a couple of months, you're 18, & i think maturer than you..

Answer 6

in about 10 years.

Answer 7

After you graduate of course!!! Preferably college graduation!!! Girl if there is one thing i could take back about my life it would be getting to college. PLEASE WAIT awhile before having your first child!!! You both are still so young, you dont realize that now but what would it hurt to wait ya know? You want to give your baby the very best life that you can dont you? and be able to provide for him/her? If niether of you have decent jobs you will never be able to,and these days a high school diploma or GED dont cut it for great jobs anymore. Please rethink your decision. You got plenty of time. Good luck to both of you and your futures!!!

Answer 8

After you've graduated from college, have secure jobs, have a home together, and can emotionally and financially afford a baby. Having a kid is like being grounded for 18 years - trust me, I have one.

You sound like you want a baby in the worst way. You also sound like you're going about it in the worst way possible.

Answer 9

You're going to be broke and bitter in about a year. You'll want him to be around more for you and your child, and he'll resent you for clipping his wings. I am in my thirties, and just now at the point in my life where I can afford the responsibility and the privilege. Don't cheat yourself, your boyfriend and your child out of a future. Wait.

Answer 10

Let's see, do you have careers that can sustain yourselves and a baby? Figure out how much it'll cost to feed, clothe, and house yourselves (plus utilities, cars, etc), plus childcare. Having a kid is EXPENSIVE and HARD no matter what. It is like 200% harder when you lack a college degree and are so young. WAIT.
