Answer #1

I think that is your choice. I am 17 and when I was 15 I got pregnant but I had a miscarriage and know I realize that if I would have had the baby I wouldn’t beable to go out with my friends and if your boyfriend leaves you most of the time it is hard to find another man that wants to be with you but like me I am glad that I didnt have the baby because if I did it would be 1 year old in december and ity would not even know its dad but girl I want a baby know but im scared of what my parents would say but I think its a gud choice if you know what your doing and if you are ready and hope that your man wont leave you because most of the time they say they guna stay with you but they dont because all boys are liars!!!

Answer #2

nooo

Answer #3

i completly understand what your going through. i went through kinda the same thing. if your ready to have one and know the responsiblities then go for it. just make sure its something you know you want and can handle

Answer #4

HI mariya! My name is Jessica. Let me tell you something. First of all. Having a baby is alot and i mean alot of work. Second of all. Having a baby DOES NOT end your life. I do think that you should consider waiting atleast till you gradudate high school. Start saving money now. Trust me you will need lots of money for your diapers, formula and all that happy stuff. :) Your going to do whatever you feel is right anyway so just make sure you think things through. I’m so sorry about the loss of your first child. I lost my first baby too. Its the worst feeling in the world. Then i found out i was pregnant 1 week after my mom died. I’ll tell you this. I graduated High school i did all my partying and i have a baby now. I was 21 when i had her and i still wasnt ready. its funny cuz sometimes i cant believe i have her now. Motherhood is tough. But if you are a strong and independent person you can get through anything. Just make sure you THINK FIRST!

Answer #5

So many young girls send posts on this website about pregnancy, it is almost like it is a craze. What they don’t realise is that they are still a child as you are. Even though you may think you are grown up and act it. You have a future ahead of you, a baby can stop that.

I am sorry to hear about the unfortunate accident last year, but even then you were a year younger. Different parents react differently.. your mum was pleased, mine would be disappointed. You had an argument with this ex of yours… whats to say it won’t happen again? Do not bring a baby up in this kind of environment. However is this true??

You say you love kids… why not get experience with one doing babysitting jobs or take up childcare? Take on a role of a mother/teacher. But please do remember you will go through hard times in life, with a baby it will make it even harder. Just take it step by step and if you did lose that baby back in December, I reckon it is just an emotion because you would’ve had the child by now and your missing it.

Wait till you are older, wait till you are financially stable and wait till you have someone really special.

Answer #6

Wow.. I think that your too young.. I want a baby too both my boyfriend and I but were taking it steps at a time. Were waiting till were out of college and make enough money because we dont want our baby tto have a horrible life we want them to have better than we have. Plus we havn’t even have s-e-x yet because we think s-e-x should come after marrege and even though he’s asked me to marry him 3 times were still too young by the law even though both of are parents get along and would let us. Just think your gunna need MILLIONS of things o raise the baby and the 3 most inportant things are a loving mom a loving dad and money to pay for food and dipers and medications when he/she gets sick! think you dont have the time or the money who knows maybe the father would lea ve you?? just like the first one i can happen to anyone.. plus have you though about your boyfriend what if he doesn’t want one this early in life? OK.. it’s really YOUR choice but YOUR 15 YOUR MY AGE. The earliest i’d have a baby would be 25 but i’m thinking 26 would be a better age for me PLUS your body isn’t meant to go throw labor your still a KID and dont you think you didn’t have the kid for a reason maybe GOD was sending you a SIGN ok.. maybe you would of died during labor if you went on maybe your body just sin’t ready/.. I know it’s your choice but how will you provide for you little boy/girl???

Answer #7

…especially if your boyfriend pushed you down the stairs out of anger… you think he isnt going to do that to your child “out of anger” ?

Answer #8

if you have a jod and your mom likes the ideal and suports you and you thought about every thing like how you can go out any time or go to you hight school prom then ya if you think you can handle it then do it but make sure that your boyfriend will not leave you

Answer #9

i think you should have a baby its a good idea you know the only way to have a baby is to have s*x ,and did you lose the baby boy or do you still have him in your stomach?

Answer #10

ahhh like no. ur 15 thats not cool u will wreack your life

Answer #11

think about it its really hard to have a kid, im 19 and my daughter just turned 2 years old, im married and my husband helps as much as he can, but its really hard, you said you were going to stay in school, i said the same thing and i didnt finish, im just saying really think about it, you will lose a lot of thing like just getting up and leaving when ever you want, you have to think about the baby not just you anymore, about food,diapers,clothing,medican, doctor visits.im not telling you not to, i had my baby to young and i dont regret it cause shes my life.

Answer #12

you’re WAY too young 2 have a baby a kid can cost $ 20,000 OR MORE you need to sit down and ask yourself these questions : will i have enough to have a baby ? , will my family support me ? , will i still be able to go to school ? , will i need to get a job ? , you need to reconsider this you’re only 15 , you’ll miss out on ALOT if you have a baby now , i hope this helps , and god bless you

Answer #13

Ummm, I really don’t think it’s a good idea for you to be having a baby at 15… Yeah, you have a job, but it’s minimum wage (you cant raise a baby on that), and sorry to tell you this, but you’re mom must be an idiot for telling you that it’s a good idea for you to have a baby. You say that you’re going to finish school, but I highly doubt you will with a new baby. What about all you’re friends, and hanging out with them… you can’t do that with a baby! Wait about 5 years then, when you’re ready, have a steady job, done school and are with the right guy, then that might be a good time…

Answer #14

so lets see- 1)you’re too young 2)your mom has lost her damn mind to even think you are old enough to handle the responsiblities and will regret it when you go buckwild at 18 and decide you want to be a normal “adult” and will be stuck raising a kid thats not hers but her grandchild 3)EVER HEAR OF BIRTH CONTROL? 4)you’re just trying to replace the baby you lost and if it was me your so called “boyfriend” would already be in jail for murdering your unborn child. what a “boyfriend” (even though I guess its “love “ right. oh to be so young and naieve again. you should wait until you are emotionally and finacially ready. don’t rely on someone else

Answer #15

no i don’t think u should have a baby at the age 15 because it is a young age. it would take a lot of stress and its a big responsibility my cousin had a baby at the age 17 and it died in her stomach and she had surgery. also if u lose the baby then u would be sad and depressed i think it would be a bad idea. if u take this advise then good if not its going to be a problem if something bad happens you’ll be really sad if that happens. it would also be too much pressure carrying and all that please listen to what i said

Answer #16

I think that by losing your first child, that was a sign that you are NOT meant to have one this early in life! Your body wouldn’t even be able to handle the physical stress of being pregnant, not to mention the birth. Personally I don’t want kids, but if I was to ever have one.. I would be NO YOUNGER than 25 - 30. You won’t be able to hang out with your friends, no thrills from going to parties, your life will be consumed by having a child. Make the right decision and wait until you’re married with the man of your dreams who is willing to be right there by your side to help you and the baby through thick and thin.

Answer #17

First of all, i’m so sorry about you losing your first child, but i do think that having a baby now could be a really bad idea.

One of my friends has just had a baby at 14, and she always depends on her dad to look after him, and abandons him, to go out with her friends, she was told me a million times that she loves her child, but given a second chance she wouldn’t of had him, she says its a handfull, and shes constantly stressed out, even with the help of her dad.

I do care for her, but think she has made a huge mistake..

Good luck, with whatever you decide to do xx

Answer #18

Dear mariya, You stated that your mother wasn’t drinking or nothing wrong with her when she said she thought it was a good idea. This tells us that you know her saying that is a problem, that there is something wrong. She may have felt that you have not been the same since you lost the child and she just wants the old you back. Loosing a child requires a lot of counselling and grief counselling to help with the loss. You are not thinking about your future or a childs future reasonably. You are experiencing faulty thinking that is common after loss such as yours. Seek out counselling, it is evident that you are in need and must get some help. Sue..good luck
