Obsessed with babies!! - 73% Normal

I'm 18 next year and I want a baby NOW. Deep down I know I can't cope with one because I'm still a kid myself, and me and my boyfriends relationship is not stable so we can't bring up a chil, plus he's still in all that street life sh*t.

Although I tell myself I'm not ready, there's something else in me that tells me I must have a baby. Also me and my boyfriend have had many condom accidents which have resulted in me having to take the MAP (mornin after...) and although it is not the same as an abortion sometimes I feel like I've just aborted my child and it gets me upset.

I even think about whose eyes and nose and personality he/she would take after and I even imagine what that life would have been like.I walk past baby clothes and imagine me buying them for my child.

I feel like I'm obsessed and I don't know why I feel this way or if this is normal or just a phase. It doesn't make sense to me.

Sorry about the lenght but I just want another persons point of view.
Thanks

Sounds like your biological clock may be ticking a little faster than "normal." I know lots of women who are obsessed with babies and who want babies liek now, but most of them are in their 20s or 30s. But everyone is different. My advice is to wait until you're ready - not just mentally but financially. It's not just about you, but the baby too. Hope this helps :)

at 18 you are so unfit to have a child, it's not even funny. what's even less funny is how my tax dollars are going to pay for its food, daycare, medical, dental, etc. while you struggle with ZERO job/life/financial/marital/parenting experience and produce a kid that, after 18 years of leeching off of my tax contributions will undoubtedly steal from me yet again when he breaks into my home or car.

oh and FYI men that are in your age range are going to run for the hills the second your EPT comes up positive - no joke. if you want babies now, try older men or just get on some birth control and wait - like the rest of your peers.

I think at your age it's not a good time to have a baby. A baby needs a lot of care, time, and money. At your age think about your future like your job and education. You can think about babies when you are older, in a more stable relationship, and have the money to support a baby.

DRhouse you should stop worrying about you tax dollars that you never see. this girl asked a simple question about how she felt, (if it's normal) she obviously knows she is not financially ready or stable to have a baby as her Blog obviously points out. (she said so above.) Plus who cares about your tax dollars because more then likely this young lady has a job and their her tax dollars too! Plus she's showing more responsibility taking a morning after pill and realizing she is not ready for a child. and yes dear it is perfectly normal for you to feel this way.

Get a hobby to get you off this baby thing, altough it's not too warly to have baby by age, it might be too early for mental pressure and duties and stuff...
You are very normal, but take care...
And, if a sperm touched egg, It started making baby, and you killed egg by using pill, Its pretty much same like abortion, just with less guilt trip, because it doesn't have baby form yet. :(
