I want a baby is this normal at my age?
Question:
Answers:
You probably only want a child because you're lonely. You want someone to spend time with at that time of night. I suggest you offer to baby sit your friends or a relatives child. And see if you really want one at this time of your life.
Yeh. It's normal. Totally! My mom had me at 16! There's nothing wrong with wanting a baby at 20. I'm 16, and i want one but then i dont. I want one cause they're cute. I dont want one cause im only 16!
very normal, wait to long and you may end up to old
yes, it is normal, but the best thing i can say is DO WAIT... me and my EX wanted to have a baby too... well low and behold we ended up having 2 back to back, and guess what? now i am a single mommy to 2 BABIES. while i love my children more than life itself, this is definetely NOT what i had in mind. i never thought i would be raising them by myself. so please wait, and DO NOT get pregnant on purpose, unless you BOTH decide its the right time...
best of luck
Yes, it is very normal to want a child at 20. Your body is at its peak fertility right now and you are in a stable relationship. So it's totally normal to want children.
It's also advisable to wait a couple of years. Make sure your significant other will be a good father; move up in your career; finish school or whatever you're doing now. You may be physically ready (we're physically ready right after our periods start) BUT ask yourself if you're mentally/emotionally/financial... ready.
And if that answer is no, please please please get on some birth control. It's cheaper and easier than you think.
For some people the drive to have a child at a younger age is completely normal,but I wouldn't suggest doing so just because you are lonely. You also need to be able to support a child on your own without the guy if need be. My advice would be to get a puppy and some houseplants, if you can take care of both and keep both of them healthy for a year than you should maybe think of having a child.
You are female it is very normal to want children at any age,you really have to decide when is the right time for you and your partner.My husband bought me a pet early on in our marriage to keep me company while he was on nights,that wasn't to replace children though we went on to have 4
It's not wrong or abnormal in any way to want a baby at your age, however, you have to realize that it would most likely be irresponsible and unfair to any baby you would have to try to conceive at this point in your life.
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but maybe you should get a puppy! It would be something loving to keep you company when you're alone. I understand that being lonely can do crazy things to you mentally, but you've just got to keep in focus that you can have a baby and be able to enjoy life and give that child a life it would deserve in a few more years!
Having a child is a HUGE commitment and responsibility, which can strain relationships. Ideally, both partners should want to have a child before one is conceived. Having a baby won't allieve your loneliness. I understand the want to have children (I have 2 myself) and yes, it is normal, especially when you are in a loving relationship - regardless of your age.
I suggest you talk to your partner about how lonely you are feeling and your intense need to have a child.
Good Luck!
yes i it is I want a baby to and am 16 but i know i could not handle it now so am not getting pregnant anytime soon i think i only want a baby so i can have something to love and needs me
yes. you are 20
Heed Deb C's answer. you should wait until marriage before having children, of course. Just like men, you have to start refusing hormones to take control of your body ! Learn & make informed decisions !
A person should never have a baby because they "feel lonely." That shows a selfish attitude. Although having children can be a wonderful experience, it is also filled with a lot of emotional hardship, so until a person is ready to stop focusing on themselves they should not consider children.
You don't say if you are married. If you are not married yet, having a baby is a bad idea. It's difficult enough raising a child to begin with, don't start out on the wrong foot. It's not fair to anyone involved, especially the baby.
