Woof ™	Someone please lock her in a closet until she is older - YOUNG lady, having a baby is a very big responsibility. We are not talking about a doll to play with when you want, or 'something' you can play with when you want. A baby is a 24 x 7 responsibility. I'm just a guy (father of 2 boys) who is telling you to wait. I have not seen any other responses, but hang on - I bet the ladies are going to let you have it. P.S - Good for you for not having sex yet - stay a virgin for awhile longer - Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bethaknee	First off, think about the responsibility that comes with having a child. You have to get pregnant, and from there you have mood swings, morning sickness, you gain a lot of weight. Then you have this 8 pound monster shoved out of something very tiny...which is NOT a pleasant experience. You'll be bombarded with fecal matter, snot, urine, vomit, and any other imaginable bodily fluid from a small child. Next comes the cost of clothes, diapers, food, healthcare. You will be spending the next 18+ years of your life being responsible for another human being. Forget about high school parties and hanging out with friends if you plan on being a responsible parent. My advice to you is to wait a few years...live your life while you still can. Have fun. If you are getting maternal instincts just start babysitting for relatives, friends and neighbors. That might control the urges...and if not, you might try talking to a school counselor. I'm sure he or she could provide much more helpful advice than I am. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Olivia!	I used to feel like that all the time, when I was 16-17. My boyfriend and I would watch my cousin's daughter, and he was so good with her that it just made me want one so badly. You just have to remind yourself that no matter how much you could love that baby, you could not be a very good parent to it. You would either miss out on school, or miss out on being with your child. It would also put a terrible strain on your family. In addition to all of the emotional things. Your body may not be able to handle a baby so early in life. Many young pregnancies end in miscarriage, which brings on even more emotional hardship. I know you probably thought about all of this stuff already, but you really have to pound it in to your head. You will be a mother someday, when you can support and nurture the baby like mother should. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

brianjames04	It's wonderful you like babies but yes -you are way too young for anything like this. Find a mother of a new born baby and ask her what it's like. Better yet see if you can help that mother with the child. Get a taste all the work and responsibility that's involved with the day to day care of a baby. I have two sons and because of some unusual circumstances, my wife wasn't always available. Trust me, nothing will test you more then getting out of bed three or four times a night to feed and change a baby. And by far that's not the hardest thing you'll have to do. To have and raise baby you will need much more than a package of diapers and a jar of strained peas. You will need a committed partner, support from your family, at stay at home parent and enough money to support the baby, the stay at home parent, the working parent, the home they live in and the million little things that you need. A baby is the greatest thing in the world but you'll want to do it right. Start with some research, talk to your parents and any other adult you can trust. Most of all don't have sex when you are 12! It's not good for you or the the baby you want to have. Take your time, enjoy being a teenager before you think about becoming a mother. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

**mizzglam***	what makes you think like that? you should enjoy being young... its not as easy to look after a baby.... i think think it over again.... hope i helped Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nurserenae	Don't you are too young to raise a child properly, they need 24 hr a day care. At 12 years old do you have the funds to provide the child with food, clothing, regular medical care, medications when needed, when they become older they get more expensive, school activities, school expenses etc. Also at 12 you can not get a decent job to pay for all this (babysitting isn't a decent job) and get decent health ins because just having prenatal care is expensive not to mention delivering the child that is way way expensive. Plus what would your parents say more than likely at your age they would say adoption or if they believe in it abortion. I do not think Social Services in your state may not think you would be a fit mother at this age. Plus you may have your period but your body is not mature enough to carry a child and deliver one safely. And another thing you plan on continuing with school or dropping out and living your life with a 6th grade education. Wait until you are an financially stable adult, educated, and able to care for yourself. You can't just have a baby because you want one at the age you are at its not all fun and games its serious do not bring a child into the world at your age people that are adults and decide to have children talk about it for months before they even start trying. Me and my significant other have talked about it for a few months now we just bought a house and both have some debt we want to get paid on before we bring a child into our lives and I am 22 and he is 29 we have stable jobs he is a Software Engineer and I am a RN and we are waiting to be stable and financially sound. So what makes you think you could support a child at 12 years old whose best job probably is a babysitting job and the chores around the house, when you have two working professionals with college degrees that make a resonalble amount of money are deciding to wait to be finacially set Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ozdragonfyre	Well, to really help you I guess I'd need to know some extra information. How long have you felt this way? Did it start with puberty/period? Why do you want to have a baby? etc. I could go the oprah route and say spend a few days with a teenage single mother trying to make ends meet and raise a kid. However, I don't have oprah's resources to get you in touch with one. Kids are a lot of work. They aren't always a bundle of joy. They can break your heart and your bank account at the same time. I've heard a lot of people talking about having a kid so they have someone who is dependant on them and loves them. But that doesn't always happen. Especially as they grow older their mom isn't always their best friend. Anyway, I hope that you can find the help you need with this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

domo14810	I remember when I first was in love trust me i was sprung and I would do anything for him and I thoght a baby would seal the deal on our relationship!!!! But trust me just wait and if you love who you are with things will fall into place just have patient Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kja63	You are way too young to properly care for a child. You're still a baby yourself. Please speak with your parents or a trusted adult about these feelings so that they can get you some help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

UPGRAYEDD	Look at the money in your pocket. Can you support a baby with that? Go to Wal-Mart and look at how much diapers cost. Tell your mom you want to have a baby. Doing those things should change your mind. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shestory1	Children under 17 who want babies often just miss the attention of one or both parents. A baby comes with a lot of responsibility. Enjoy your life while you are young and without a baby because if you have a baby, your life will be limited to what you need to do instead of what you want to do. Don't be dumb. Be smart, plan for the future. Get a great career and find love then have a baby. Don't have a baby and lose your life right before your eyes. Example: Tammy: I am going to the mall and skating later. You: I have to apply for welfare and food stamps and this baby is heavy and I don't have money for the bus. Tammy: Too bad. I am throwing a party for my boyfriend Chuckie. Why don't you come? You: Can't. No babysitter. No transportation. And no date. Tammy: What happened to the baby's father? You: He split when I told him about the baby. Besides, he already has a steady girl. I was just a fluke. Tammy: Tough break. Should have used a condom. You: Yeah, too late for sorry. I am so overwhelmed. (cries with her baby in her arms) Don't be a fool. Be smart, wait for love after you educate yourself and get a good job and house. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tiger_221917	you are much to young to have a child and there are too many risk's of such a young girl having a baby.Please talk to a counselor ,minister or a teacher.you need to focus on being a kid,finishing your schooling and enjoying life. a baby is a huge responsibility for anyone let alone a child so young as you are. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dustystar	start babysitting, volunteer at school to help with the younger kids. having a baby does not make you a grown up and you are to young to be a mother. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kaitlyn	What you are feeling is normal. A long time ago woman used to get married and start families when they were 12-16. It is normal to feel "motherly" at a young age, I feel like that too sometimes and I am 14. You should get a puppy to take care of. You will have plenty of time to enjoy being a mother when you are married. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jelly	I watched a natural childbirth at 13. It was cool b/c I got a little brother out of the deal, but when you see what happens to your vagina in the process you'll soon be cured! That's just the childbirth process. Pregnancy sucks and so does caring for a child when you're still one yourself. Regardless of how mature you think you are or how much support you'll receive, your life now belongs to the kid. Watch a childbirth-somehow. Babysit or get a puppy. Just stay away from the boys b/c they'll gladly get you pregnant, leave you to deal with the baby yourself and go on their happy way. No offense but find a hobby. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MISS J	Sweetheart you are way to young to have a baby you are still a baby yourself. Now when you have a baby you have to give up most of your freedom now are you ready to give up your childhood??? you should talk to someone about this..someone you trust Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

devonlneal84	your are a baby Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BrownEyedGirl	See if your parents will let you volunteer to help out at a senior center. Seniors take just as much time, patience and love as babies do and this should help you to be able to focus those feelings in a more positive direction. Way to go for being a virgin. :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ellie	go babysitting! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Shithotter65	dont! haha seriously u WILL deffinately ruin ur life unless u can get rich by next year... because ur parents will probably not like u with a kid so early... seroiusly just wait.. babies arent all that u think they are... try being around a baby for like 9 hours straight awake... ull kill urself Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Yori	You probably wants to show affection to someone.. why don't you get a pet first, and try out responsibilities. At the least, it will get you busy, and not think about babies (worry about early pregnancy, sweetie!) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lil_candi021	wow..thats scray for you to be 12 and want a baby..but i remember i use to want one at a really young age..but its not a smart decision. You have to think about it mentally, physically, and finanically..ask yourself are you really prepared..I mean what about the rest of your life and your education..are you willing to put that on hold for a baby that you want..and take the chance at never getting one..just really think hard about it..talk to a parent or some female adult..im sure without a doubt they can help you.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

beastmorg	You know at 12 that's about the time your teenage body starts developing into ADULT, And your HORMONES start going crazy that is not an exaggeration, I bet right now you can't tell me or anyone why you do half the things you do. Am I right? Well if that's the case and your truly ready to have a baby,. then you should be intelligent enough to read this book I'm about to recommend provided of course you can pay for it, but if you can pay for a child. I guess you can pay for this book the name of the book is called ERRONEOUS ZONES what the book is about is emotions and how to sort through them when you feel you have no one to turn to. It speaks about God but not the way you think. I know I've read the book a couple of times and I still do every now and again when I feel overwhelmed by my life. You really should read it I sincerely think It will help you understand you. You have a lot of time to have a baby. If you have a baby can YOU (not your family) take CARE of it? THINK ABOUT IT, THAT'S A LOT OF CARE, I know babies are beautiful and make you want to have them. BUT PLEASE DO IT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE WELL ENOUGH SET IN YOUR OWN LIFE TO TAKE CARE OF ONE WHO WILL DEPEND ON YOU FOR THE REST OF YOURS AND THEIR LIFE'S! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TygerLily	You might want to use the love you have for children to volunteer in some capacity to try to meet that need. Maybe you can become active in a church and give the children there some of that love you have in your heart for children. Maybe you can volunteer in a youth program in your area. Before you attempt to have a baby that you most likely cannot afford, get involved with children in a volunteer capacity. The best mothers are those who have completed their education and have something to offer to children including a happy home and a full belly. You are too young to be a mother. Heck, you're not driving, don't have a diploma and most likely are dependent on others to meet your day to day needs. Wait a while. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

wendy G	Knock it off ! Right now!! I mean it!!! YOu are not even old enough to have aJOB. I am a working person who is TIRED of paying taxes to support kids like you who's parents are too lazy to parent you right. Go outside and ride your bike. Do what CHILDREN are supposed to do, and that does not include having children themselves. Get some counseling if you are lonely. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jeenie	every state and county has support centers for tenn mother, you should go there and volunteer. soyou can actually see what a person your age goes through with a baby in their hands, you can also talk to the girls and boys club , at their 1800 number and they will advice you where to go, they have these lil fake babies that cry and act just like a real baby, you can ask for one of them in the same support center and have if for one whole week!!! if you still crazy enough to want a baby ..YOU should get a puppy. Realistically, you mom is the one who's going to end up taking care of a baby, if you end up having one.....dont you think she already has enough wit you? you need to focus more on your studies and your life as it is. Am not trying to judge you, but you do need to focus more on what's going on now, and value it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

GG	Babies are a lot of responsibility. I would suggest maybe babysitting. That may cure your ideas of actually having your own. I suggest giving yourself time to grow up and get married before you decided about children. After all you are one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

amylynn2114	Wow.. shouldnt you be on Maury for this? Anyway- get a babydoll and play house. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

deltronone	They have plenty of them at WAL-MART Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

depdog6969	Oh honey - you need to wake up! Your too young - just a baby yourself. You have no idea what having a baby takes. Its midnight feedings, diapers, waking up to have your baby burning up with a 103 temp, cribs, carseats, highchairs, docotr visits, its EXPENSIVE to have a baby. Your in school. Who would care for the baby? If you want to be close to a baby - consider baby sitting. When you are all grown up & mature - you will realize what a HUGE mistake having a child at your age would be. Good luck to you honey. And God Bless. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
