Should We Get Pregnant?

Quote From: miss_dette

 Hi babe,
                 I so know how you are feeling 'cause I was once where you are. My ex and I started going out when I was 17, when I was about 19/20 I started to get the baby itch and what made it harder is that I worked with kids all day every day. I wanted a baby so much that I would hound him " When are we going to get married? ", " When can we have kids? " and so on. He wasn't ready yet, he was only 22 and trying to set himself up in a career he loves. I had thoughts run through my head about an " accidental " pregnancy, but then remembered that without honesty and trust you have no relationship. My ex and I were together for 5 years before we finally called it quites. He wanted his career and I wanted a family. I was ready to go where ever he did but he wanted to do it on his own and after awhile my feelings for him had gone. Now we are really good friends, but I'd have to say he kicks himself for not holding on to me 'cause guess who wants to settle down and have kids now ! I am now 23 going to be 24 soon and I'm glad I didn't get pregnant, there is so much more to life you and your partner can share before you make that step and if you do make sure he is apart of it, it is much more satisfying knowing you are doing this together rather than deceiving the man you love.

Also before you do anything ( that is if you haven't already ) go to topic " conception deception " you might change your mind about a few things.
 
Good luck and I hope you make the right choices for yourself and the child you want.
                                                                                                                                                      
21 is so young, There is so much to do before babies. Don't get pregnant on the sly, that isn't fair to your boyfriend. There is a world out there to discover, educate yourself, enjoy yourself, you have another 15 years to have a baby. It is worth the wait. I waited and am so glad I did. I am a much better mother at 36 than I could have been at 21. I have two college degrees and travelled around the world (including South Africa). Enjoy your youth, a baby changes everything!
