Accepted Answer

you do NOT have your own place to live
you do NOT have bills to pay regularly
you do NOT have your own insurance
you do NOT have the ability to financially care for yourself nevermind a child
finish school

Answer

when having a child, you always need to put their needs over your wants. And right now you're not doing that. You don't have your own place nor do you have money saved up to afford all the expenses of a child as well as having money saved for when you can't work. Not to mention child care is by no means cheap either so you'll need to create a new budget with that in mind. Just wait. It's not easy, but it's what's best for everyone.

Answer

you are a senior in high school.  what is a steady job to you? because if I were your parent, I would be pissed because I would end up being the one to pay for everything and be the main provider. Accidents happen but you are choosing to make an adult decision before you are seen as an adult. It is your body, but I suggest rethinking your plan.

Answer

I was a teen mom as a senior in high school and please listen to what I'm saying. Go to college, travel, buy a house, become financially stable then have a baby. I love my daughter with all of my heart and soul but being a teen mom was very hard and I wish I would have listened to people about teen pregnancy when I was your age.

Answer

Being a Mom is the most amazing thing I have done, but one of the hardest! babies are fun and adorable, but keep you up at night, make you worry 24/7, test your relationship to limits you never knew possible. They are work! And they are expensive, unless you have your own home and pat ALL your own bills do not try and get pregnant yet. Go to college, experience life some more, you will be a Mom one day, don't rush and do it when you are both stable and ready for the responsibility, it will parenthood so much more fun for you. You want others to be happy your pregnant, not wonder if you got knocked up as a High School kid.

Answer

Once you begin this journey, then THAT'S IT! You will always be a parent...life will be drastically different. There will be no "me time" for a long time. You should take it slow and enjoy your early adulthood. Finish school, get a good job, go on trips, ENJOY LIFE! I love my kids but i miss my early 20s when I didnt have to worry about a damn thing. I am telling you, your baby fever will eventually cool down but if you have the baby, everything else will as well.
