I know I'm in no place to have another child, but I've always wanted to have 2-3 year gaps of ages between my children. I know having multiple children before graduating highschool is risky, and I'll get a lot of criticism, but I just hate to think that if I try to work the rest of my plan out normally, my children may not be as close as they could be.
 
I've only had one pregnancy, which ended in mc, but I fell pregnant while on micrgynon and using condoms. I think I'm one of those very fertile people lol.
 
There is also the IUD. There is one that is copper with no hormones and the one with hormones. I personally have the Paragurad which is the copper IUD and ha no hormones. You can also have it in for up to 10 years and when you are ready you can get it taken out and start TTC right away. Thought I would share that with you lovely ladies.

Our baby wasn't planned but also didn't happen on surprise. Me and my bf have been together for a while and love eachother dearly. We know we are the one's for eachother and we hardly fight. When we do it's something stupid and lasts not even 5 min before we are apologizing to eachother. We are currently engaged and told ourselves that we both want a kid but we shouldn't try cuz we were still in school so we just didn't use protection and when it happened it happened because we graduated this year anyways. We have everything planned out and he has an awesome job that pays great and is on his way to becoming a police officer. So It was kind of both lol. But this is a great topic because I just recently wrote a blog on myspace talking about how people shouldn't call babies mistakes especially if it's not theirs. Here it is.


Just a shout out to all mommies out there.

As I recently said on my facebook, I know a lot of people secretly think or say behind my back that I've made a mistake getting pregnant. But I'm not gonna say what will soon be my daughter a mistake. In fact, she's the opposite of a mistake, she's a gift.

As a mom, I know I haven't experienced all the joys and stresses of having a child yet but I can say this.

When you can feel an actual human being that you helped make kick, move, or hiccup inside you and you are already in love, you know that that feeling is NOT a mistake.

When you go to the doctor's office and hear your babies heartbeat for the very first time you know that that heartbeat is NOT a mistake.

When you see your baby move his/her hands and feet around and see his/her face on an ultrasound, you know that that picture is NOT a mistake.

When you are in labor and in pain and the only thing that motivates you to get through it all is seeing your child for the first time, you know that that pain is NOT a mistake.

When you are forced to go through a c-section and are under the knife, and you see your child come out perfectly healthy you know that that scar is NOT a mistake.

When you are pushing and pushing and finally hear your child's first cry, you know that that sound is NOT a mistake.

And when you finally get to hold your newborn child in your arms and see his/her fingers and how small they are and how your child looks like you and thinking how they've just been born but they've already gone through so much and how you started out that way you know that that child is NOT a mistake.

No child is a mistake. Instead they are a blessing and a gift. When you see your child you know that it was intended for him/her to come into this world now with their mommies and families that love them.

There's a special bond between a mother and her child that nobody can experience not even fathers. Don't get me wrong there is that special bond for a father too but nothing beats a mother's special bond.

When a child is first born, the sound of their mother's voice instantly soothes him/her. Because they recognize their mother's voice. A mother's voice is their first memory that starts from when they are still in the womb.

To all the babies, you are a gift and blessing to your mommies and families that love you.

To all mommies, you are an inspiration and a role model to me and I look up to all of you.


I know that I did NOT make a mistake and I don't plan on changing my thoughts on it.


I love Kayt Elizabeth Smith. Due Date=November 13th 2010.


Also, I am having a baby shower in a month or two =) Lemme know if you wanna come.




Thanks
Cinci

How old are you LoveAlways?

I'll be 18 soon and have graduated, and really I'd like no more than a 3-4 year age gap between the first two. I do want three kids, and I think I'd prefer to have them all before I'm 25/26...but whether we'll be financially able to do that is very unlikely.

My boy was planned(my first) at 16 and my second wasn't but she was also wanted.Now i am 19 still with there dad and happy.
 
Because i think 14 is far to young to be planning another child and already pregnant thats why.
 
I had Grace when I was 19, we bought our own house, both had jobs etc so pretty financially stable and settled....started TTC Theo when Grace was 1yr, took us 4 months to conceive :thumbsup: Theo was very wanted, but it didn't make either of the pregnancies more "wanted" ...love them both regardless to whether they was "planned" or not :)

I am going to be honest with you here lovealways, should you use the WTT or TTC forums after your baby before the age of 18 your account will be made inactive. I just wanted to tell you in advance so there's no confusion even though that possibility is a long way off.

:shrug: her choice ...​

[A personal reply as a parent]

This makes me sad :nope:! I'd be devastated if my girls became parents so young and I would certainly be angry if I discovered someone else passed it off as just their choice like it's ok. It's not :nope: Yes it happens and if it did I would support them (without doing it for them) but to encourage another, yikes! A 14 year old still needs guidance even my 16 year old cousin who is 13 weeks pregnant needs guidance, she's not clue or understanding of life in the adult world. She will get there but it's scary she's going to be a parent.

On the topic of 2 children close in age my girls are 15 months apart and I find it VERY difficult still 16 month later.
 
WS wobbles it really makes me sad and quite angry that people just shrug it off as its okay when its quite clearly not.

I'm 17 will be 18 next month my OH is 20 and we get married in 35 days! EXCITING and I'm 5 weeks gone, definately planned! People think we're crazy but all we want is to have a family, I didn't get into uni because of lack of life experience which made me think I can do things the "wrong" way round, there are loads of 25yr olds I know who have kids and go to uni so I'm going to do the same in a couple of years. Some of my friends act like it'll paralyse you and you can never do anything again, they want to travel I want a family!! Shimplesss :D
 
:shrug: her choice ...​

I agree.

Once you have a child you have to grow up and "act like" an adult. So after having your first young I don't see why poeple shouldn't choose to have another when they feel the time is right.
I'd love another now (I'm 18) but am WTT until 2011 because I know I wouldn't cope through pregnancy and looking after Liam before he is walking.
I've had arguements with my step-dad already because he thinks I would be making a mistake and should go to college etc..but even without having another I wouldn't be going to college. I thought about it but decided I want to be a SAHM.
 
I do want to say to all you ladys that want another baby (and your first is under a year) good luck.

I have a hell of a time watching my 2 1/2 year old while pregnant. Expecially threw-out my first tri. We are very happy with a 3 year gap between our kids since Taye is pretty much potty trained and is quite independent.

You have to think about if you have terrible morning sickness/ fatige can you watch your child (i had issues) Are you ready for 2 babies in diapers ect.

Im not trying to bash anyone, i just have a few friends who rushed into their second and now wish they would have waited at least another year. I wanted another baby by the time Taye was 6 months, but i held off cause i knew for me and my situation it was better to wait, i had to much I wanted to do, like i got my GED, Got into a good house, made sure me and the OH were finacually stable enough to think about another kid.

Sorry to be a downer, I have just seen to many people pop 3 kids out in like not even 4 years, expecially my friend Nikki, who now struggles constantly with her 3 little girls, since the FOB left and she now has to be the main provider for her and 3 kids.
 
:shrug: her choice ...​

But is it her choice? Technically she's a) still a child and b) still under the guardianship of her parents.

I'm not questioning her right to chhose. I'm questioning whether it would be suitable for her to try for another, illegally.
