writes:I am a 21 year old female. I don't work (in between jobs) and I don't go to school. I live on my own with my boyfriend. I have been in long term relationships and was once in love. I have known my current boyfriend for three years and we have been dating for a few months.My question is this, am I wrong to want to get pregnant? I was pregnant once before but lost the baby. I have always wanted to be a mother, and my boyfriend has expressed interest in having children with me. I always kind of wanted to wait until after we got married, but we have already started trying for a child. I am completely in love with this man and he is in love with me.Does anyone have any advice on whether or not I should continue trying to conceive? Am I rushing things or should I keep trying to have my children?

 Personally, I do think you're rushing things. Not like I don't think you could handle it or that you aren't mature enough, I just think that before you add the pressures of a child, you should secure the rest of your life.
Your boyfriend is interested in having a child? Great. If he's ready for that commitment, he should be ready for the commitment to get married - why not fulfill your goal of waiting for a child until marriage? I also think it is VERY important that you get a job and save up some money before you start trying for a baby. Work up that bank account because labor ALONE will cost you anywhere from $9,000-14,000. GAH! So, save up for a bit, start your life with your man and then go for the baby making!
Good luck, sweetness!!
