Am i losing my mind?

Question

Am i wrong to want a baby at 14? (I'd be 15 by the time he/she would be born) I have done so much -I guess you could call it- 'research' and I feel like I know most things there is to know about babies (minus the experience and certain things you can only learn from a real baby not google-- yes yes I know I shouldn't trust google's every word but I may have a shot at this!) Am I completely losing it for wanting a baby?

Answer

I think it's a womanly instinct to want a baby at some point, you just have to know when to wait. I got pregnant at 17, had my son at 18 and I still had it rough. He didn't sleep longer than an hour  at a time for 7 months straight and I was nursing almost all night long. I was a zombie! Diapers, are NOT cheap. Cribs are not cheap, plus the mattress for the cribs. New Clothing every month or couple months when they grow into a new size gets expensive. Wipes are expensive, baby food isn't cheap, along with toys, car seats, pack n plays, blankets, plus having a decent reliable car to drive your child in, gas, insurance, health insurance, etc... I thought I was ready too, being with my fiancé for 5 years and having a stable job. I couldn't even finish school until my son got older because he wasn't sleeping, neither was I and I had take care of him all day and night with no sleep while my now husband went to work. Please don't do it. Wait until you are in your early or mid 20's. That way you will have time to grow into an adult, go to party's, hang out with friends whenever you want and travel if you wish too. Finish school. Have a decent/good career. And who knows maybe by then you will find the right person to be with. I honesty don't think anyone is ready for a baby but if you wait until the hardest part of your life is over (school, teenage years), then it will be a little easier.

You are crazy lol. Having a baby is a big responsibility and your life has to pause for a while with one. You can't go out anymore, people can be rude and talk, and your parents will be pissed. I promise you, the night time and diapers aren't cute at all. Sometimes I don't even wanna go to school because I'm tired with my son. Then you gotta make appointment every month or 2 for a check up and they fly by fast, and 1 can of formula finishes in a week. 1 is for $15-30 depends on which one you get. Just wait, your time will come, just not now.

i’m 14 too and honestly piss all my friends off with talking about how much i want a baby. 
Girl, if you feel ready and you feel like you’re in a situation both physically and mentally ready for a baby then i’d say go for it at the end of the day age is only a number, I know a lot of 15/16 year olds that are much better parents than 20+ year olds. either way goodluck girly x
