Baby?

Question

I'm 19 and my boyfriend is 23. We recently had a pregnancy scare and I was very upset/depressed after my home pregnancy test was negative. I feel like we are ready to actually try for one but I feel like he isn't. Suggestions?

Answer

I would talk to him to see how he really feels about it. I was in your shoes for 3 years with my husband.  I was soo ready to start a family, but he was not. So I waited until he was 100%  with it. You want to make sure that you are both on the same page. There is no point in trying for something that is a life long commitment if one person is not fully ready. But, you should definitely talk to him about how he feels about starting a family. If he is actually ready, then that is fantastic.  But, he wants to wait, the worst thing you can do is push it on him.

Answer

Don't do it unless you're both ready. I suggest going to college so that you can be financially ready for a baby. I in no way regret waiting until I was in my late 20s before trying to conceive (been with my husband since I was 16).  I have a home, a job, and am so excited that I can provide for my child. Of course I would have loved a baby sooner, but we are so ready for this now.

Answer

You are both so young! As women we will always love the idea of becoming a mom but men don't! They will always be afraid ! Talk to him and find out what he really wants! You both need to be ready! Enjoy your time as boyfriend and girlfriend as much as you can :)

Answer

If he isn't, I def would not try. It's a lot of work raising a child and if a man isn't ready for it, you'll b most likey doing it all on your own. Wait till the time is right for both of you

Answer

Talk to him about it. You can't know what the best choice for you both is without those conversations.
