Any teens TTC?

[Jo]

Lol I sure am Everyone laughs at my blonde moments.. I have them most of the time

Ahh I see, that's understandable. But.. does this mean I'm going to get a ban if I talk about the fact me and OH are TTC.. because I'm 18?

Oh dear i think some confusion has happened

You will not get banned from B'N'B for TTC at 18 not at all

All we are saying is that B'N'B as a whole cannot activley encourage *some* teens to TTC

** by this i mean 15/16 year olds, teens still in school, doing it to rebel whatever**
Phew i hope that has cleared it up a bit

Ohhh I see!

Thank you for explaining that to me

Phew, I got really worried then!

Can't survive without BnB!

Thanks

Hey everyone.. wow, I had no idea I'd spark such a massive debate.. By starting this thread, I didn't mean that I at all think people my age should be TTC.. God knows I'm not, I just wondered if anyone was and I was interested in talking to them and finding out more.. I certainly love kids but I know I definately don't want any yet.. I want to travel and enjoy myself before I have to settle down but I'm really happy about all the response and opinions this topic has got!

Phhhew, I think people have misunderstood my posts entirely. I want you to know I would never encourage a school age girl to TTC. My point has always been that you can never say that NO under 18s (above school age) are ready to TTC, although most would benefit from waiting a year or two.

this is the same point we have all been trying to make!

That's what I mean about I think people have misunderstood my posts - this is all I've been trying to say throughout!

i think people have maybe taken ur posts the wrong way because several of us have made this point n u have made a comment on another part of the post so it caused confusion.

no one has said under 18s will be bad mums but i think everyone will admit even the young mums themselfs its not the perfect age to start a family even tho i no they wouldnt change it for the world

Actually I was 18 when I got pregnant, and I think it was the perfect time for me to start a family in my personal situation. And this is just what I mean - you can not say that for all people it's this or that - for most under 18s it's not the best time to start a family, but for some it could be.

But we can say whats right for this forum - This will be happening.We will not support under 18s TTC on BabyandBump!

Note this is teen pregnancy there is not teen TTC

I enjoy my life more than ever now that I'm a mum - going out every Friday and getting rat arsed honestly has no appeal. I am still doing my degree when daughter is in nursery and when I want to I can travel the country and it's better because I get to do it with my own family! I even changed my whole ambition and life direction (becoming a midwife and neonatal nurse) because of my experience of pregnancy and birth. I can say with 100% honesty that getting pregnant when I did was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I have to agree with Wobbles, legalities are a major part of forums and the last thing anyone wants, i'm sure, is staff being held responsible for anything with regards a young girl ending up pregnant.

The world is an evil place and as the saying goes "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"... You imagine being the mother of a kid that's came on and for some reason been given the impression its a fab idea to TTC at a very very young age - that mother would be one very scorned woman and the first people she'd turn to is the owners/staff.

im glad it worked for you tasha i really am for some people its amazing.
i was just saying my opionin.
at 16 i was out being a dippy teen running round causing trouble.. my friend had a baby at 14. id known her all my life, as much as she loved her son more than anything she was devastated she wasnt able 2 join in all the stuff we did because she had to stay in coz of her son. but then my cousin had a baby at 15 and her life just blossomed.

just saying personally i think waiting untill 18+ is better.

That's fair enough - I never questioned what bnb would officialy support or not! I never asked for or implied I would welcome a teen TTC section here!

I'm really sorry to the BNB team if you got the impression I was trying to encourage under 18s to TTC.. that was never my intention.. I was just wondering if there were any that are

Fair point Everyone's different, I guess and this is a perfect example.

Tracie i understand what you mean, i was 20 when i had Emily and looking back maybe i wish i had waited ( i was 15 when i got with Ant)
But saying that i think i am now going through my second teenagehood, tears tantrums and going out with the girls

I didn't see you telling anyone to get pregnant ...

As usual some topics go on to debates or different of opinions! Don't worry.

 

[Ella]

Okay good! I love debate.. I think it's great that people are free to express their opinions.. and personally, I wouldn't wanna TTC with my partner until maybe my early twenties? But I seem to come on here when one of my closest friends has a pregnancy scare as it put things in perspective for me and makes me realise how much a child would really affect my life and I just think that having someone your own age to talk to can help a lot.. I know if one of my friends (my age) came to me telling me she was TTC, I'd definately try and see what's making her feel like she's in 'a hurry'.. and by this, I don't mean that ALL under 18s aren't ready for children.. but I don't see why you can't enjoy your freedom while it lasts.

This is just my opinion, to all the young mums out there, it has no reflection on my opinion of you.

[Wobbles]

Most times opinions are never personal hun - woudln't the world be boring if we all felt and thought the same. Sometimes things are taken personal that can't be helped thats just human really we all do it x

To answer the question, I will be TTC once I get my life on track - if that happens while I'm still in my teens, so be it. Because I have a part-time job (where I can bring my son) & am taking distant schooling it's going to be easier to find a place of my own, my own car, etc. Surely this won't happen until I'm at LEAST 18-19 or over, but I look forward to it.

 

[princess_x0]

I'm not trying to start some witch hunt or whatever, I'm just wondering.. I'd really love to hear if any of you are?

Heey
Meant to be waiting 2 years as my ticker says. But I doubt we will, a year at the most

I thought you were single? Is that a must for any prospective new b/f?
That's quite an ask of a bloke at such a young age.
