ever since i was about 12 i have wanted a baby of my own.
im now 17 and i still want a baby.
my partner doesnt want children just yet in hes life.
as much as i want a child im scared as its a big responsibility.
i can wait to have my child still, but why do i feel this way about it?
why have i always wanted a child of my own in my life?
and is it appropriate for me to feel this so much?

i have wanted to be a mother my whole life. Form a very young age I was fascinated with pregnancy, birth and babies. But I waited. I babysat, I worked in daycare, I played with friends kids. I waited until I was married and financially OK (never 100%, but decent) We were 25 when we had our baby, and I am glad we waited. We have been able to give him a stable life, and focus our energy on him! We are eagrely anticipating the arrival of our next baby in a few days.
My advice. Wait. You are not going to do your child any favors by having him this young, with a partner who is ambigious about beigna parent. Find someone who wants to make a life and a commitment with you. Build your relationship first, than your family.

I have always felt the same. I believe it goes back to our instincts to want to pass on our genes. Also I believe the super strong desire to have children is a sign of some one who will make a fabulous mommy or daddy. Everyone I have babysat for has always told me that I am going to make a great mother some day. I am just a natural with babies and children.
I'm in the same boat. my fiance doesn't want a baby right now like I do, but he is open to having children when he is ready. I really hate waiting, but it's probably for the better considering children are a lot of work and they are costly.

Some people are meant to be parents and some are not.Keep waiting that is a good thing, and some day maybe your boyfriend will come around, like when he is older perhaps. If not maybe he is not for you.I am also going to say be careful please I have a Friend who always wanted a baby and then she got one.She was not married and really not as ready as she thought she was.She does not even have her kid anymore.

i felt the same then once you get tied down with one and realise this is your life for the rest of your life you will see what huge committment it is.you are a mother all your life.i am having trouble with my teenager now and my hubby would love us to be back at the deciding stage cos he would run a mile if he could lol.have fun while you can get a dog instead lots of fun less commitment

I felt the same way but you must wait until it would be best for baby!!! Until you can do this on your own without financial help from anyone else....
