What do I do if you want to be pregnant at fifteen?

Answer 1

Wow - that's a big thing. I would start by asking yourself WHY. Do you want attention? If so, you'll get it in the beginning, then you may feel you never get attention and the baby gets all of it, while you're tired and cranky because you never get any sleep, and every waking hour is spent on taking care of the baby. Do you want something to do? The baby will require constant attention and care, so you would definitely have something to do - but you won't be able to go out with your friends, and it would be hard to take a baby on a date. How will you support yourself and your baby? Would the father be involved? Are you willing to not buy new clothes for yourself because the baby will need so much? Do you know how much diapers alone cost in the first year? Take a parenting class to find out. An area hospital or Planned Parenthood may be able to help. No money for class? Then you DEFINITELY don't have enough money to have a child. Expect the government to pay for it all? Then you're just borrowing the money from your child, who will have to pay higher taxes because you didn't want to wait. The money has to come from somewhere. Honey, this is a big step - you may be willing to make the sacrifices needed but it's not fair to the baby for you to start so young. Being mature enough to make this decision based on what's right for the baby is the first step in being responsible enough to be a parent. It takes a lot of love to be a parent - and it takes some tough love too - on yourself in making this hard decision based on what's right for the baby, for example. Please wait until you're older - find a hobby - Photography, drawing, travel, movies, volunteer or work as a kennel kid for a vet or animal control in your city - whatever you're interested in that doesn't hurt anyone - join a group that enjoys the same things you like, maybe try babysitting or working for a day care so you can enjoy working with kids on a part time basis for now, and have more of your life to yourself before you dedicate most of it to your children. You'll enjoy it more if you wait, are in a stable marriage and financially ready. And you just have to trust me on this one.

Answer 2

First I would want to know why she thinks she might be pregnant. If this does seem like a possibility, I would want her to find out for sure whether she is or is not pregnant. After that, if it turns out that she actually is pregnant, she would have to decide whether she wishes to become a mother at such an early age, or if not, if she wants to obtain an abortion. Once we know what she wants, then we can make further plans.
