Why do I want a baby so bad and I'm only 20 years old, but I've wanted a baby since I was like 17 years old? Could this be because I grew up so fast or why do you think?

• Well thank you most is true excpet I've wanted a baby even when nothing was wrong with me, and I am engaged to get married. Oh and I am wondering if it is because I have had a miscarriage about a year ago.

• Oh, well I was just giving the best answer I could given what I knew about you, this is just a general layout of why most women want to have children at a young age.
  But the miscairage definitely has something to do with it.

• Hello I am a 19 year old girl. When I was 17 I feel pregnant with my son had him when I was 18 and I find what you are saying offensive. My son was not a burden on me and it did not steal my youth. If anything my child made my life more wonderful. Not to mention he was an unplanned pregnancy to a guy that is no longer around but after all what happened to me my son still did not ruin my life far from it. I am a living mum that doesn't go out is very responble and 100% dedicated to my son and now I am getting married in 2011 and going to extend my family soon and that is my choice and that does not mean I am any less of a mother than an older person!

• i agree with cheynepatricia. i am unusual in that i am 20 i have not had a baby, but have come to the conclusion that i want one, now. i am in my second year at uni and have "my whole life ahead of me" a baby is only a problem if you make it one. cheynepatricia has clearly been wise enough and mature enough to realise this instead of going along with the closeminded view that a baby will ruin your life.
  the reason i want a baby (maybe it is the same for you) is to create something, to create a person that has some of my characteristics, and to whom i can pass on some of my expiriences to and share expiriences with. make a life that will continue on after i am gone. to some this may seem idealist and i know that it wont be easy but i believe that nomatter when you have a baby as long as you make sure you never resent your child for existing then that child will be a gift to the world and you.
  well done cheynepatricia. i envy you and your bravery and wisdom

• Heather, you said it all. I am 20, in my 2nd year of college and I want a child. I have wanted to adopt a child since I was 13 but whats funny about that is, I never liked children before. I despised children. I am the youngest and so I had no experience around them whatsoever. In the last rwo years I have been around way more kids and I think they are darling. I started having babt dreams at 17. I want a baby for the same reasons you do, however I have a lifelong disease that may make it irresponsible of me to concieve my own child. I fear that as I get older my health gets worse and this issue becomes more prominent in my mind. I am proud that you two girls stuck up for young mother's. Not every young mother is cut out for it but the children themselves are blessings not burdens.
