I feel like having a baby.

I’m not saying I want to go out and get preggo or anything. I know the consequences. But anyways,im 13 and have an urge to have a baby. Is it just because of hormones and stuff? because people say after you have your first period your body tells you that you are ready to reproduce So is it just my body telling me that?

Answer #1

so your only 13 years old… you should wait till your your older. im 16 and I have a 6 month year old girl and I have to admit I love her to death but it is a lot of work. I will say this though I would take a bullet for her but if I were you I would wait ok.

Answer #2

I’ve never heard of hormones making you feel the urge, if someone your age is having feelings like that I’d ask them how their family life is, sometimes I think the “urge” is coming from a feeling of wanting to create a better family/home life. Maybe talk to a counselor

Answer #3

yes it is hormones dont worry everyone goes through it! youll eventually get over it!!

Answer #4

Im not saying im gonna have a baby. Im just asking if its hormones, like do most people feel like this?

Answer #5

I ‘feel’ like going into the bank and helping myself to the money so I’ll have no bills - but actions have big-time consequences - your Best Plan: education, ring, date, marriage, get financially stable, THEN baby.

Answer #6

im thirteen and I feel the same way! I love kids and want one bad. I think about all the consquences and that makes me want to wait a little longer! Hope this helps. If you want to talk you can funmail me!!!

Answer #7

Yes,hormones can do that. Just do your best to control it,I was in that stage one day but boy wise,I learned to control it every time it happened.

Answer #8

I really want a kid but I am gonna wait till I have a good job and when im older. kids are a lot of work. just playing with my 3 year old is exhausting. I suppose it is different for everyone.

Answer #9

Yes it is normal to feel that way. You are getting “motherly” instincts. Hormones do crazy things to people. Just don’t go off and have one and you will be fine. Instead, see if you can babysit so you can get your baby-fill and not have to actually worry about the responsibilities.

Answer #10

sweetie babies are a hugeee responsibilty. not just “cute and playfull”. You will have to get a job and drop out of school for good. thats if your parents dont collaborate. whoever the dad is wont stick around for too long and ig he does (which there is probably a 10% chance he will) is for all the wrong reasons! be smart! I felt the way you did a couple years ago but that phase goes away as you grow up anf become more mature and responsible. you are too young so just enjoy our life. teen years are the best and you dont want to miss them!!!

Answer #11

Well I was a teenager once and I didn’t have the urge to have children at your age. I knew I wanted children but I also knew I wanted them later in life, with a husband, house and a job. I had a close realative that did end up having a baby at age 14, so I was able to watch someone go through it, I mean litteraly too, I was with her in the delivery room, that was the best form of birth control and I’m sure pushed me on my thoughts that waiting for babies was the best idea for me. I’m sure it could be possilbe that it could be hormon related but I’ve never heard of that before. If anything I would ask, “what’s your family life like” in my opinion when young girls have the urge to start a family so young it’s because they’re lacking something in the family they’re in now…
