Getting really maternal at 17?

Question

This is so annoying because I'm only 17 but I'm getting really maternal, and I mean REALLY maternal. I'm so so excited to have kids and looking at the pregnancy tests everyone is posting is making me so much more excited 😍 but I have to wait 10 years because my boyfriend and I both don't want kids until we're 27/28 😞 plus I want to experience life before I have kids! Does anyone know how to get over these intense maternal feelings? 😬

Answer

Buy a plant :) Try keeping that alive for a few years. Then get a gold fish. Keep that alive for a while. Then get a hamster. Then a dog. Then if you've managed to keep all of the above alive, you might be able to handle the terror that is a toddler. Best of luck.

Answer

Same thing happened to me around that age. Though I got married at 16, so that might have something to do with it. I'm still super baby crazy, and we have tried a few times, but are a bit relieved it didn't happen because we want to be prepared and responsible. My advice is to think about where you are in life right now and how a baby would affect your situation, and more importantly, how your situation would affect your baby. Just think of what's best for your future baby. It gets hard when you want nothing more than a baby to love and care for, and you cry everytime you hear someone is pregnant or see a baby, but your time will come. :) hope that helps.

Answer

Get a pet :)

Answer

I'm 14 and I am SUPER maternal. It also doesn't help that I'm told I will be a great mother. I don't know why but I just love the idea of having a child of my own, but that is a VERY long time away for me. I'll get there eventually though, and you will too. 😊
