I wan't a baby, Im not stupid and I know how much It cost and how much responsibility it needs but is it wrong ?

At 12 years old it's not wrong to WANT a baby, but it is too young to HAVE a baby.

I know but would the father get arrested?

Possibly. Do you know the dangers of being pregnant at your age?

Yes I do

Can you tell me what they are please?

At 12 is is wrong to "want" one so bad you would actually have one. And yes the father would be arrested and go to jail for a long time normally. ( and they should).

Next at 12 you have no real idea what this is,

Livyloola, please tell me the dangers of being a pregnant teen. I would like to hear how much you know.

I could Die for a start, get bad education, end up being a single parent, the more serious is Placenta previa,
Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Premature delivery, Significant anemia, Toxemia.

Placenta previa is the least of your worries. Without looking it up on Google or anywhere else, can you tell me what Pregnancy Induced Hypertension is and the dangers?

Is high blood pressure disorders but not sure about the dangers

Hight blood pressher disorder

But did you know that this can cause blindness and seizures just to name two problems? It can also cause kidney failure and you can't live without your kidneys.

Severe headaches and weight gain

Livy, I deliver babies for a living. I've had some girls your age. None of them delivered vaginally, they all have had to have C Sections (surgery to remove the baby through the belly). Several of them have had seizures and lost their vision. Another had her baby so early that the baby had to stay in the hospital for over 3 months and that bill was over a million dollars.

Your body is still growing and is not strong enough to be able to carry a baby.

Little girl, where is your mother? Babies are a lot of hard work, more than you can imagine. You have the rest of your adult life to raise a child, enjoy your youth for as long as you can.

I know what a C section is and I want to be a midwife, I have not got over wanting baby thanks.

Hey girl, I'm 13, and I understand you wanting a baby. But we're BOTH too young to be having babies. Not only could it hurt you, but it would be selfish to try and have a baby. You know how many complications could happen during the pregnancy? You could miscarry and then never be able to have a child again. The baby could grow up not fully developed, not having a true chance at a normal life. I'm embarrassed to tell people that my mother had me at 16, but can you imagine 12? If you truly want a baby, something to love and care for, you need to wait.

Having a baby at 12 is very irresponsible. I know I sound like I'm lecturing you but my cousin got pregnant and died. She was 14. You have to think about how hard the baby's life would be. You're too young to have a job, to drive, hell, you aren't even supposed to have a Facebook!

I have seen your posts on other things and you seem like a very intellegent young girl. If you truly want a baby then you should be thinking of the baby and its needs. You should want the best for it, and it will grow up to blame you for having a messed up life if you go through with this.


You could try babysitting maybe? That will really help. But you are too young to have a baby, don't kill yourself with this.
