Im in pretty much the same boat as you.
nineteen and preggers.

But ill try my best to give you some advice on this….heck it may even help ME see what i need to do.
🙂

I guess you could weigh out your pros and cons on paper. and really ask yourself if your ready to parent. Not just the happy times but the hard times too. can you see yourself waking up multipule times in the middle of the night to fend to your babys every need? its hard to think that your no longer important and the baby is. I dont think people realize how much of a blessing babies are…and also how much of a hassle. Its a beautiful hassle, but a hassle nothenless. Babies take a lot of time. Alot of money. And a lot of energy, and it doesnt get any easier as they grow. Thats why i have such respect for mommas! 🙂
I also went online and looked up how much a baby costs (dont forget hospital bills). asked a few girls (around my age) who have children what it was really like…not just the daisy and roses part of raising children. I beleive every woman who has a child will love that child unconditionaly, but I have come to realize that almost every young mother i talked to told me if they could have that same child later in their life, they would have waited. Even my own mother told me that.

I guess it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish in your life. I know youll make the best decision for yourself. And if you do let me know what it is! 🙂
