of getting Pregnant?

Um, have lots of unprotected sex? ...At 18, why the hell would you want to, anyway?

And as a P.S., I notice you're posting from a Pinellas computer...what school? I go to Lakewood, as do a couple others around here.

I agree... Are you married Tinkerbell? Where do you work? does your Work have Medical? Where do you live? How will raising a child put a dampner on your Career? This is a life changing Process you could be undering going if you do in fact get pregnant.

No, I am not Married just yet. I dont have a job.. My guy has a job he is manager of a store. and I go to Countryside High School in Clearwater. o and My last day of HS is Dec 17 and im out. btw

Wait 5 years, 10 is better. You've got a whole lot of living to do before being saddled for life with a child.

I had a child when I was 18. I was thinking I was so grown up and mature enough for the resposiblity. I was and still am a great mom but my means to provide wasn't that great when I was 18.

I am 31 now I have 3 children now and my living is still not as great as I would like it to be !My husband and I have a decent job now and I give my kids what they need and they are spoiled also. I also have a great and supportive family. Do you have that also ?
It takes more than you to raise that child it takes a whole family !

I often think what kind of life would I have given them if I would have waited only 5 years to get my feet planted and a better understanding of a parents responsiblity.

5 years is not that long to wait and if your boyfriend is still around and has married you by then, well I think then whould be the time you would want to bring your own child in the world !

I don't know you and I wish you the best of luck in your decisions but hun, if you are asking strangers how is the best way to get pregnant. I don't need to know your age, you are not old enough to have a child.

Best of luck
Sandy:)

I was in highschool when i had my first child. Why would anyone want to do that on purpose? It makes no sense. Please wait. Get a higher education. Figure out life first.

Go to College first, then get a job, live by your own for a while and get mature (I don't mean you are not right now but life can give you a better perspective on things).

I wouldn't advice you to just get pregnant at 18 and single!.
You need college (or other professional education) to have a career of your own (do you want to depend on your husband or a low paid job for the rest of your life?) and you need to become a little independent (living by yourself) before such a commitment (it is also not a good idea to go from your parents house to your boyfriend/husband house)

Ya true.. I want to go to college to be an OB/GYN

Yeah! reminds me of Nora in "A dolls house" She was passed from her fathers hands to her husbands hands, and then she tried to fit in with what "society expected" of her, untill she Freaked Trees and left her husband and children and decided to live her life for herself, and not given in to what was Expected of her. Good Play I would recommend reading it.

human brains aren't capable of making fully adult, rational deciions until the age of 21 or 22, so i would say that's the earliest anyone should have a kid.

Unfortunaltly I learned that lesson the hard way !:confused:

Well then...it is hard enough to go to college when you have no other obligations...I don't want to imagine how hard it could be when you have to take care of a child.

I don't know whether it is really you who wants the child or your boyfriend (that's quite personal), but don't do something so important pushed by others.

Ibsen, isn't it? yeah I was thinking about something like that.

yup... That's the one... I did some major research on 'A Doll's house" I came up with some brilliant comparisons and differences between the Two major women in the play.

Oh well I am not such an expert on Norwegian literature. I studied the author long time ago at Highschool.

Did you study Literature in college?

If you get a degree in that field you will be an expert in the Pregnacy field.
Keep your fingers and legs crossed and get an EDUCATION.
If this guy you go with doesn't support you in that, get rid of him.
A few years down the road you will fully understand what I mean.

That's not just college - you'll need 4 years of med school and 3-5 years of intership after that.

It'll be really hard to do that when you're a mother. At least wait until you are out of college, but it would be even better to wait until you are married, and have someone that can help you with the baby while you are in school or working.

Honey, you are still so young. Once you have this baby, you won't be able to go party with your friends as often, and you'll end up regretting your decision.

ok, tink; let's chat, shall we??
you're 17, right? i'm 30. i've changed my mind about so many things sooooo many times between that age and now. what seems most important to you now will seem absolutely ridiculous in 13 years. i'm speaking from experience.
i ditched college to join the navy. i fell in LOVE, got married, got pregnant, left the navy, and moved back home before i was 19. then, my "husband" decided he didn't want to be tied down, so i gave birth to my son alone. being ever the optimist, i jumped right back into life, started dating again, broke ot off to reunite with my (still) husband and got knocked up again. he left when our 2nd son was 9 months old. that next year, i fell madly in love with someone else, had a child with him, all was swell...until i realized partying was #1 to him. 3 months after ending things, i met my 2nd husband. we were married 2 years later, had a daughter, and were fine until he started being abusive.
moral to this story: i am now a full-time college student with 4 children, struggling to support us. i love my kids, but knowing what i know now, i wouldn't have even entertained the idea of motherhood-or marriage-until i knew who i truly was and exactly what i wanted. think about this, honey. you don't have to learn the hard way!!!

college is hard enough; trying to keep a decent GPA by studying and focusing is extremely difficult when kids are playing, crying, fighting, wanting to be fed, etc.

Though we all agree you shouldn't do it in the first place, there is one way you can increase you chances.

I could bang you, then I'll grab you by your ankles, lift you up upside down and shake you.


-Jusk kidding people!

I have been studying Literature pretty much all my life. When I was 16 I spent a year in N. Ireland and studied advanced literature, Advanced Biology, and Geology. Then I studied the Humanities from the Bard Community College in Up state NY through the University of Washington Extension branch in Port Hadlock. I have always been facinated with Literature, which helps teach us about our past and to open our minds to new Ideals.

Wow! what a charmer... you must get a lot of dates that way. :hitout:

If you are looking for sexual stimulation I would more then likely suggest you go to Yahoo... there is a lot of desperate lonely women on there that I am sure would be appreciative of your perverse behaviour.

I had my babies at 26, and I am so glad I did not get knocked up at 19 or 20, cause I still had some major messing up to do.......

there are several ways to look at it......first of all, say good bye to sleep, in fact say good bye to any sort of privacy or "me time".....in fact say good bye to the term "me" altogether.

Maybe I should have started at the beginning, there are several things you will need to say good bye to.

First say good bye to you waistline, it may be a couple years till you get one of those again. (also you always have to factor in the possibility you may have twins or higher order multiples, if so say good bye to your sanity) oh yah, and hello stretchmarks.

Next when it comes time to deliver say good bye to your dignity, I had a natural childbirth with a lower forceps extraction on my twin A, and a mid-forceps extraction on my twin B in full view of a staff of 14.....I counted.

You will also have to consider the possibility that you may deliver preterm....no one wants to think of these things, but you have to know the possibilities......in this case be prepared to be scared out of your wits. AA pre term birth or high risk preg can pull the rug out from under you, and pretem babies can have a slew of health problems and devolopemental delays. Also consider that many women contract gestational diabetes, which can cause high blood pressure and seizure and stroke, the only cure for which is birth. You could be put on bedrest for the final months of your term.

Pregnancy should never be taken lightly, and is never without risk.

Getting knocked up takes only minutes , the ramifications will last your lifetime.......

Glad to be of any help........if you were in need of perspective from "the other side"

forgive me. I am inexplicably drawn back to this thread.

Not to forever turn you off of kids, but to slap you aut of that baby-lust with the facts!!!

Before i continue, it is so totally normal to feel what you are going through right now, I started to get it after the girls first birthday, dreamy sweet images of chubby babies in their nappies, and to snap myself back to reality I calculated the amount of pampers I had changed in that first year.

7 to 10 a day (lets say 10 to round up)
times 7 is 70 per week
times 4 weeks per month is 280
times 12 months is 3360
now times that by 2 years in diapers (or more)
and you get 6720

Now times THAT by 2 babies and you get 13, 440 friggin bum-changes!!!

Sorry to interrupt this thread with this, but as both a grammar Nazi and someone who is good at math...you cannot times something. It is not a verb. You can multiply something, and this is called x times y. Sorry, that really irked me.

Now back to baby-talk. :)

One other reason that some young women have babies is to have someone that will always love them. If you think that's true, consider your own relationship with your mother. If you have always loved her, and constantly displayed that, you may well be unique. I know my relationship with my parents was not always that way.

After listening to all of this very good advice everyone has given you, if you still want to know how to get pregnant, I'll ask my cousin. This womans got babies popping out of her butt like bullets pop out of a machine gun. Woman's got so many kids she could start a whole new world order all by herself :eek:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Terribly Sorry you little booger.....i am terrible at math, and actually had to work this out on my chalkkboard. Grammer I am ok with but combine it with math and I am at a loss.....


Now where was I....oh yes....before I can in good conscience tell you how you might conceive there are still other factors I failed to mention for you to consider.......

If you conceive you must also consider the possibility that you may have to undergo a c-sec....terribly common now today, and not a minor procedure. AAdd to that the probability of an Episiotomy (http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/pregnancy/childbirth/165.html) . I had one of these........basically to prevent uneven tearing and possible hemmhorraging(sp) they will cut your perineum. NOT NICE!!! You have to deal with stitches in your crotch, and they give you something called a sitz bath to soak you tender loins in, plus you have to take a stool softener so you do not pop your stitches from straining.

not to be gross really, but how are you with bodily fluids?
because you will deal with every imaginable one once you have small children, and if they are throwing a real fit, you can expect several at a time.....tears, runny nose, drooling etc.

Plus you will have spit up, diarhhea and pee to deal lwith, with almost no warning.

Please don't take these gems as anything other than fact. In no way do I resent or regret my kids, cause there are amazing rewards that come with the job, which is why we all keep reproducing..........I just don't think many young girls are faced with the facts when dreaming of angel faced cherubs.......

also you will feel much more prepared and confident if you have saved the funds in the bank bwefore you concieve....there are ALWAYS unexpected costs with children, and if you are living paycheck to paychek to make ends meet, you will have less time to enjoy your baby. Illness, growth spurts, one lost boot, you have to have funds to cover the unexpected costs.....

any questions????>???

With all the problems that occur with birthing & raising children, it's sometimes amazing that we bother to reproduce at all, -- except that practicing procreation can be so much fun.

Exactly! Women also have short memories when it comes to the pains, you quickly (and conveniently) forget. It's a good thing for pop. growth too, otherwise we'd never do it again!!!!

book orders, school pictures, immunizations, field trips

swimming lessons, scouts, ballet...........


kung fu lessons, violin, hockey, wherever their passions lie, be prepared to provide your committed undivided support (and funds)

Prepare yourself.......scratching by doesn't cut it..

(i'm not trying to make presumptions, for all I know you could be loaded, or backed by a huge trust fund.....)

Even if that's the case, you still must prepare.


It's hard to do that emotionally, cause you cannot fathom it, but you can do it financially.


Have you had any pets?

yeah im waiting
