 Tbh finish college first, get a job, a place, then try.

 I agree with the last post. Its wonderful that you want to have a baby, but honestly you are still young, enjoy it a bit longer. You should wait until you both have finnished college and have stable jobs. You should get a place together, whether you buy or rent, live with each other for awhile, maybe get married, then think about having children. I am twenty years old and currently 39 weeks pregnant, ( basically ready to pop) I wish I could have gotten through college first, and had a better paying job. Sometimes life doesn't always go as planned. My boyfriend and I love each other very much, but as much as we love eachother it does get hard sometimes. Financially and emotionally. Its not completly impossible to have baby while you are young, but it is much more difficult. Especially when you don't live together and when you both need to finnish school. So please try and wait until you at LEAST both have stable jobs, a place of your own, and can afford neccesities. You would be amazed how much per month you spend in groceries. Not to mention basic nessecities such as toiletries, cleaning supplies. Then you have to factor in car payments and insurance, even getting an oil change. It really does all add up. Then if you were to add a baby on top of that... you can only imagine the cost. So please wait until you are completly ready. I hope that helped with your deliemma even though I know you probably were hoping for a different answer. Best wishes to you and your bf, and enjoy your time together.
