They have all told me this exact same thing: they love their children to bits, but they had wished they had waited a little longer before doing so. As they all felt they could have done more, had more freedom to see more and have the chance to experience more.

im 29 now and i had my son when i was 16 years old. i had him 2 weeks before my 17th birthday and i wouldn't recommend becmming a teen mother - i didnt plan to get pregnant but it happened and i, like the previous poster, didnt believ in abortions and so i continued with the pregnancy and my partner at the time stuck by me. We were 16 and 19 yrs old and far too young for a child but we were both very mature in life and it worked for a while - we broke up 2 years later and i struggled on my own for years following - never regretted it at all but i did miss out on my teenage years, on a circle of friends, on college at the time and various other things i feel now that you should do as a teenager. However, having a child didnt stop me - i went to college when i was 18, i went to university for 4 years following that and i gained my degree. I am lucky that my family stuck by me and supported me and were never pittiful or disappointed in me outwardly and i was always adult enough to step up to my own responsibilities. I hated the first years of sleepless nights, the constant baby that couldnt do anything without me and it was hard, very very hard, but i wouldn't now change it for the world - i might just have waited a little longer.

first of all i know why your wondering what its like to be a mother i have wondered when i was your age and it's not something you want at your age. i am 17 and i have a baby girl who is 3 months old by my boyfriend who is 28. it was not planned but i dont believe in getting abortions and everything so i stuck it out and got through with it and my boyfriend was and still is there with me the whole way. being a mother is wonderful but i wish i waited a couple more years. however there is downfalls: you get your teenage life taken away very minimal time going out and having time to yourself, 9 months of a big bump hanging on you and so much more...in my case my parents dislike my boyfriend because of the age difference so they disown my and don't want anything to do with me and are very disappointed that i already have a baby at 17. i turned 17 two weeks ago so i had my baby girl when i was 16. but when i had my baby girl she was and still is a blessing to me and my boyfriend when she first came out me and my boyfriend had a huge smile on our face and love our baby so much. my advice wait until you are ready not just when you want a baby. just be careful. message me if you want to know more.
