Friends with pregnant people?!

Question

Is being friends with pregnant people having a bad effect on me cause now I have baby fever and I want a kid and I have so many other stressful things going on I just don't know

Answer

Also. I need to throw this in because it is SO VERY IMPORTANT. Post partum depression is VERY real and it can be very very scary. I just saw your were 14. Women who are in more mentally mature then you get this as well. It is not fun at all. Knowing how I felt and the things I thought was terrifying. And to even begin to think that this is a possibility for someone who's considering it at 14 breaks my heart. I had tons of counseling and have finally gotten off my medication for it but girl it doesn't happen to everyone but it does happen. Please think hard on this. Like I said I was 18, had to make it on my own when I got pregnant. Just imagine. You still have prom and school dances and college parties a head of you. EVERYTHING changes when you have a child. You can't just go when you wanna go you have to make sure bags are packed babies clean and fed, oh wait it might be nap time but you gotta be at this place in 10 min so you get to where ever it is. Your baby screaming and tired but you have to be there so what do you do? You know it's more than just a baby

I support teen moms all the way. I don't support purposely being a teen mom ( under most circumstances) there is more than just the cute blessing of a child.

Answer

Wait til they have the baby lol and babysit for them. I had TONS of friends while I was pregnant. Even had a few saying they were trying to have one. I told them when I was in labor, my best friend who was actively trying (I was 18 when I had my son she was 17) to come to the hospital with me she could be in the room. Well she watched me deliver him (I had him naturally no meds) she got to see all the blood and guts (not really guts lol) but I tried really hard to convince her not to. Now I LOVE MY SON but it is SOOO MUCH HARDER when you are young and unmarried. I let her babysit him, and she kept him while I was at school and work. And she has now told me she's going to be a fur mom forever lol.

But if you can have a child and be ready to handle the ups and downs and everything else and are in a steady stable home. Then go for it. I'm a single mom, I actually just worked 40 hours in 3 days, off tomorrow thank gosh, I've got a year left in college and paying rent and utilities and baby needs. It is not easy. Idk how old you are or anything about your relationships but I'm just saying it's rough. But it CAN be done.
