I say you go to law school first...
can you imagine having a baby through law school, there wouldn't be enough time.
even with your mothers help.

so I say you should wait

I agree with Uhhmazingme, wait until you have finished your studies and are earning money before you start having a child. Just too difficult to do both at once I would think.

I had a baby myself ; I raised her till she was four. I couldnt take care of her anymore so I had to give her up to a careing family. it hurt me so much if you are shure that you can take care of a baby go ahead

Heck no -
Do you realize how much things have changed since your mom was 17? Prices for things are almost TRIPLE the cost. There is no way a 16-year-old could afford a baby and give it the proper nurturing. I don't see why you're in such a rush, why not go to school THEN have a baby? Going to law school is a lot of work, you wont have time for it AND the baby.

I say go for it, only if people will support you and help you. im only 14 and I want a baby but I'm not going to have one but if you are dedicated to the baby then go for it.

well think if you want to go to law school that it all of your time - you have any time to love and take care of her or him-and what about the dad dont you want a family? what boy is ready to have a kid at 16 there still idiots-and last get your life 2gether 1st because if something were to happen what would you do what about a good job and a big house? go to school and fall in love get all you need to be what you want to be when you grow up(your not grown up yet)and be stable so whenu have a child it will always be safe with you. and just to let you know im still very young and I had some pretty good point in there huh?
