If you have to ask if it's a good idea then it is NOT a good idea. I would wait until you are 18 and graduated before you get pregnant. There are too many young teens that are pregnant and have kids. I know you have heard this but kids are hard to raise. Ya at first babies aren't that bad but as they get older it just gets harder. I am 24 and have a daughter who is almost 2 and it's hard on me and I'm married w/a husband who helps.
Stretch marks: You cannot prevent them. If you are meant to get them then you will. Just keep lotion on.

Well I think you are to young to have a baby. Have all the fun you can I had my baby at the age of 17 and it was like WOW I have 2 stay home and be a mom. Wait a little longer go party with your friends. If I was 17 again thats what I would do. But if you do decide to have a baby you could rub coco butter lotion or vaseline you have to keep your belly from being dry. Apply this stuff everyday from the day you find out til you have the baby. #1 thing dont scratch.

you can do everything in the world to prevent stretch marks, i did and still got them. it's based on your skin, your genes, how you carry your baby- not on how much cocoa butter you use. mederma helps lighten them if you do get them. either way, you're only 17- way too young to want a baby and stretch marks! I was 21 and wished I waited even longer than that- you really miss a lot of things having kids so young. there are enough teen mothers out there, and odds of you and your boyfriend staying together after having a baby so young are not good. wise up and think about it a little more. you have way too much life to live!

Are you even graduated from high school? Atleast graduate first! I got pregnant when I was 17 (not on purpose of course) and it was extremely hard. I wouldn't recommend it. You won't be able to live your life to the fullest. You don't want to grow up too fast. It will be really hard when you see your friends going off to college and only having to worry about themselves and you're stuck at home with a baby. You don't even know if your boyfriend will stick around. Graduate high school, go to college, get a REAL job, get married and then have a baby. You'll be able to give your baby a better life that way.

Having a child at 17 probably isn't the greatest idea but I'm not going to judge you. All I have to say is look out because people can be very mean. Also, stretch marks can't be prevented, it has to do with the natural elastisity in your skin.

Girl, live your life first. You are a child yourself. You have no idea what you are saying. You are not even old enough to buy cigarettes yet. Wait ten years, if you still with the same man, if you are married and have a house that you are paying for, and your man has a good job, then go for it. And by the way, at 17, you don't have a man, you have a boy.

you can't prevent stretch marks, if your mom had them..you would most likely get them. Me, at 17, would not be able to handle the responsibility of juggling life (bills, bills, bills) and a baby. I would wait until you are and your man are in a stable enough condition where you can support each other well...then have a baby! Good Luck!

No, it's not a good idea right now.
How old is this bf of yours? Will he wait for you?
My goal is to see every mom in America have a college degree before they start having babies. It makes the kids better taken care of, since Moms are more educated, but Mom also has the tools to support herself if Dad splits. You don't want to be working at McD's to support yourself and your baby.
If you want to make a baby with someone, you should know them for a while, and you should marry him. In case of medical emergency this would be crucial. There is something about a family with the same last name in a home safe and secure that just can't be found otherwise--oh, yes. It's commitment. You need to be committed to each other and to any babies you make.
So this is my advice--go to college, graduate, marry, baby. In that order.

Is this man really going to stay at your side, is he going to college, are you? Can you afford a baby. They are expensive, diaper, food, clothes, day care. Day care where I live is $150 a week for a infant. You two really need to think about this and make sure that is what u really want. If it is, then go for it, but one thing make sure you your family or his for some support. It really helps in the long run.
Been there and done it twice, and want a third.

If you would like 2 have a baby,you must be prepared so you won`t be all rushing and not prepared when the baby gets here.I don't think there is nothing wrong with having a baby but If I would like 2 have a baby when I am older,I wanna be prepared so I won`t be stressed out and depressed!
Good Luck!
