What if I wanna get pregnant should I wait?

Have you ever babysat? If not, start with that.

Its REALLY not as easy as you think.

If everything goes perfectly its STILL a difficult thing to do. I know a lot of women think having children early in life is a good thing. I was 23 when I had my son. I was married too. But I wish I had waited a few more years. Dont get me wrong, I ADORE my child. But it was a difficult pregnancy and birth. He was born premature and weighed 3 pounds. He spent a month in the NICU.

Not long after his birth my marriage fell apart and my ex husband started cheating on me all the time.

I became a single mother at 31.

I gave up my 20’s. A time when you should be out having fun, living life, seeing what the world has to offer you. Not getting tied down.

If you do this, then I wish you the best of luck. But remember, its a PERMANENT responsibility. It doesnt go away. It will completely alter your life. Mostly in good ways but not always.

And its really, really hard being a single mother. Especially when the child’s father doesnt really care and doesnt help out. I was lucky I had a great family to help me with all this but it doesnt always work that way.

Just a few things to think about.
