To be honest, you are too young. Finish school,get a job if don't have one, move out of your parents house if you still live with them. Pay your own bills, buy your own things and just live life for you for a while. Enjoy your youth and all the things you can do. I was 18 when I got pregnant with my first child and was a single mother when I had her at 19 years old. Went back to high school... VERY HARD TO DO WITH A BABY. Met my current bf that I have been with for 6 years now when my daughter was 7 months old. We moved so fast.. not 2 months dating we bought a house and within 2 months after I was pregnant with my second child. Giving birth to baby number 2 at 20 years old and had just graduated high school not 2 months before giving birth, it was so very difficult. Then I had to think about how I was going to afford my new little family. we could not make ends meet with one income. So I had to get a job. Still not enough money .. I love my kids very very much. I went to college when my son was less then a year old. graduated and finally with only 2 kids and myself and my boyfriend we can make ends meet. But we both have over 10 dollar and hour paying jobs. Even with just you and one baby you need atleast that to make it work because then you have to pay for everything yourself. Think about this long and hard before you jump. Children are a blessing but at the right time. I don't regret my children but I think even I was too young. I missed out on a lot of hanging out with the girl nights and just being about to do what i want. Sleep in, go out, go on road trips whenever I wanted and other things. Atleast give yourself some time to experience some of this before you just go and have a baby. Now I am starting to do some of those things but I still always have my kids with me and I have to consider their school when I want to travel across country to visit family and everything. Just be mindful of your choice and keep in mind what you are giving up because once that baby is here, it's not about you anymore.. it's first and foremost about that baby. Please don't jump.. your young and have lots of time to be a mommy. Be yourself, then be someones girlfriend, then if you want be someone's wife, you can always just go back to being yourself. But once you become a mommy your a mommy until the day you die. Keep that in mind.
