I am trying to keep my emotions in check here and not say anything offensive, due to personal experience...Listen to EEK....She knows what she is talking about. When I was your age, I specifically remember feeling the EXACT same way that you do now. I felt I was ready for a baby....I CRAVED a baby....it was almost like an urge interrupting every moment. I even went as far as meeting with my doctor to discuss the best way to go about becoming pregnant....
She told me she saw young women like me in her office every day. Biologically, your body is sending you signals that you are ready to carry a baby. You may not be able to see beyond that right now....but I can assure you that there is so much more to having a baby than hormones.
I thought I was prepared to have a baby, no matter what the cost....and my doctor asked me: "Why do you want to have this baby?"...before I could answer, she said the only reason to have a baby is because YOU HAVE SOOOO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE, unconditionally....not because you WANT someone to GIVE love to YOU...babies are humans, but they are also simple creatures. They do not care if you have slept 3 hours in a 72 hour period, they want you NOW! That opened my eyes.
Now, I am engaged and I have been planning our future pregnancy down to the last detail in an effort to make sure everything is just right...that is the least I can do for our future child.
Please trust my words....my own "mother" put me up for adoption when I was 19 months old because her 'love child' turned out to be more than she was willing to take on by herself. I was successfully adopted into a wonderful family in the end.....but do you think that doesn't effect me today????!!!!
This will sound a bit harsh....but take it from someone who has had to ask why their mom didn't want them....'
GROW UP! BABIES ARE NO CHILD’S-PLAY! IF YOU WANT A CHILD...YOU BETTER MAKE DAMN SURE YOU ARE PREPARED FOR A CHILD! OTHERWISE YOU WILL ONLY F#CK BOTH YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILD'S LIFE!
