Trying to Conceive Discussion

I was 19 years old when my first child turned 6 months old that was the time that I found out that I was pregnant with my youngest. The reason I even signed up on this website was because I seen your question. I am 30 years old and just found out I am expecting again. Couldnt be happier for one cause I feel like I have done it the right way this time. I am remarried have a house and financially stable especially with the way the economy is right now. Just to give you a little insight about why I did respond to your question is because I was married to my high school sweetheart and thought that I would be with him forever (not saying you wont be with the man that your with) just telling you a little about myself and the situation and why I give you the advise I am going to give you now whether you take it or not. Long story short I ended up getting divorced and raising 2 children very close in age on my own. It was very very very hard. Now I am not saying that your going to be a single mother at all I am saying you have all the time in the world you are so young take some time enjoy your little one right now. Let me tell you having two kids so close in age are basically like twins. They are competitive against one another for attention, one has more than the other its the end of the world, fighting is non stop. Even with their ages being 10 and 9 it is still an on going thing between them. I wish in everything that I would have waited till I was older to have children not that I would take my children back for the world, but there are so many goals that I wish I would have accomplished first. Now that I am older I obviously view life in a different way than I did when I was 19 and 20. All I wanted was a family at that age. Didnt think about a career choice or where my life would be in 10 to 20 years or what I would do if the husband I was with at that time would end up not being together. Or how I would provide for my children and what kind of life would I provide financially as things got more expensive. I didnt prepare myself or look ahead. Believe me wait. Financially its hard especially when they get into school. Clothes, shoes, lunches, books christmas gets more expensive birthdays easter ect..........It gets harder believe me. So take your time dont rush you have plenty of time to plan a child. I am saying this out of experience. By the way have you spoken with your mother about this?

i think all you should think about right now is getting married to your boyfriend, you have a kid with him and want a bigger family, your basicly married anyway. and i say go for it but i`m only 16 i dont know a lot about life yet. i know i cant change how you feel you cant change how you feel but this chose is one you could never take back, think about it. hope i helpped!

Im 18 and planning on having a baby
and I HATE when ppl tell me it's going to be hard
I know that
my reasons behind having a baby young are one you'll be closer to the child because you have more energy to play and bond with him/her and two you have you're whole life ahead to watch them grow and experience everything
so I say go for
everyone knows having kids is hard
the question is do you love kids enough that it doesnt matter?
