hi im only 17 years old and i really want a baby. know thats stupid but i just cant help myself. im late on my period and im on he pill. i havent had a test because i darnt go and buy one just incase my family see me or something. i know for a fact that id be a great mum. i dont know whether to come of the pill secretly or to just wait until im older. i dont want to make the mistake that everyone says. its called " you have a baby, it ruins your life " but who cares. having a baby is the most greatest thing my mum told me, and i know id get help from my parents and my boyfriend obviously. i really want to be with my boyfriend forever thats another reason why i want a baby because were on the rocks at the moment de to "lying". But i know he'd be a great father, hes amazing qith children id love the chance to have a baby but i just dont know how to do it :(. HELPPP!!!!

I understand I was young when I started and now have 3 kids, but I again want another baby. I can't because of my husband doesn't want anymore and made sure we couldn't. For some reason as of late I want a baby so bad, it makes me cry. I only wish I could figure out why and move on.

Hello,

I too am young, only twenty. I already have a 2 year old daughter. I was very young, and it was so incredibly difficult... However, the best thing that ever happened to me. I was still in school and that made it even worse. However, I still graduated in the top 10 of my class, and worked through it. I am now in a really intense degree in College and working on weekends. Now that is she is two years old I swear there is no better thing in life to have someone tell me how much they love me and depend on me. However, her father and I split up over a year ago, and we share custody. This is extremely hard on me and I cry everyday she's gone. I have a really great boyfriend now, and we've been together for just about a year now. I have this constant urge that I want a baby too. It's almost uncontrolling and I actually get pains because it hurts. I know that I am too young to have another child, and haven't been in my relationship long enough. I just absolutely love kids-- and being a mom is by far the greatest reward in the world. I don't know how to help cure this feeling or why we feel this way. Maybe we want to feel needed..? Please share with me how these feelings affect you-- because I feel so lost and I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one feeling this way.

Thank you,

Shannon

I think Mandy's right. I'm also very young, single, and feel the urge so badly to have a baby to love. And be loved. She made me realise that its myself feeling unloved (even if its not so true) that is really contributing to this need.

Thanks Mandy.

xapathyxrebornx agony aunt:-o I'm like exactly the same!

want the answer?

You're broody.

Plain and simple./

If a baby is out of the question...as much as you yearn for one, wait until your in a stable relationship possibly even engaged or married and THEN with a partner start planning

I'n the meantime do you're best adn enjoy your self

geta job and save and stuff maybe? start building a nest and then when you can provide a good home for a child have one =]

message me if you want to talk =] x

Hi Hunny,

I had a friend who was like this and we talked for hours, She didnt have a very good relationship with her family, (This may not be the case with you at all) She felt the need to be loved she saw how it was with my children and wanted that bond so very much, She was young and I told her its not all as sugar coated as it seems its very hard work, Yes there is an unconditional love there, Yes your children always come first, And yes you never stop worrying from the day they are born till forever my eldest is 25 and I still worry. Im a tad older and my mum still worrys about me. I had my son when I was quite young I dont regret having him but if I look back now I would have rather have waited untill I was a little older and wiser I have 3 children and there is a gap of 7yrs and 8yrs between them that suited me fine as one of my friends has 5 under 7 and hunny I want to run. Yes they are all lovely and I love them all but when I see my young friend tired shouting and so very busy that she hasnt time to actually spend with the children as they all need attention and the house needs attention her husband needs attention its all to much she is only 25yrs. She to had this urge to be pregnant no changing her mind, She crys and is unhappy her relationship has suffered. You are on your own I imagine you havent mentioned a partner? Being a single mum is not easy trying to juggle work and children is hard and you miss some of the most precious times, Wait untill you are older love and in a lovely relationship with a partner who wants what you want. This urge of your is to feel loved unconditionally, I would get some counselling as to how you have come to feel this way some support hunny is what you need at the moment. PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU WITH LOTS OF HUGS MANDY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
