I have been with my partner, 23 for a year and a half now and we have discussed a bit about babies, the thing is I have a terribly burning desie to have a baby I know it would make me happy and it would not wreck the rest of my life as most people tell me. I am also scared that this is not a pregnancy scare I am going through at the moment but one of my ongoing problems down there and I am scared of being infertile and then not been able to have children which I kno would make me extremely unhappy. Should I tell my boyfriend how I feel? should I ask him to have a child with me regardles of our situation? I dont know what to do... Reply to this Question

I was a senior in high school, had a part time job, and my boyfriend had a good paying job. I really wanted to have a baby, regardless of what people said or thought about it. Now, I am 18 and and 8 and 1/4 months pregnant. I couldn't be happier. All I am trying to say is it's your life, talk to your boyfriend, if he wants a baby as well and you have support of your family and friends .. go for it.Only, if you think you can support that baby.. if you can't support that baby, i'd wait a couple of years. And, if your that worried about being infertile, go to the doctors and get tested.

 I think you should talk to your boyfriend about how you feel. But, I agree with the other poster about waiting for the child to come. I think you can safely wait for, say, eight years, with no problems at all. Specially if your job is not great.
As to being infertile, well, many people have that fear. Most of the time, the fear is unfounded. I'm sure you're not infertile.
Hope this helps.

You have all your life in front of you Put this idea out of your head for now. Have holidays, go to parties, meet lots of people, and most of all enjoy yourself, then in a few years time when you have done it all, think about having a baby then. Hope i've helped x[Note From Mod- Please use punctuation and not have one long sentence]
