I am 17 and I want to be a mom
As you read in the title , I am 17 years old girl and I want a baby . My financial situation is very well and I am from a rich family . I work as a young artist and I earn a lot of money from my work . Me and my boyfriend have been dating since we were 11 and now we are trying for a baby , and we are mentally and emotionally very ready . I also get checked for my general health every 3 weeks and I am very healthy . However , I feel guilty and scare to take that decision because of how people look at teen pregnancy and all that, but honestly I want the baby so bad and I am ready for all the outcomes and I know they wouldn't be easy . Is it wrong to have the baby? What do you think ? I would appreciate an honest feedback. Thank you so much

Not a good idea at this stage of life.I thought you are living far from practicality of life.You are from rich family it does not mean that you are rational and have good skill to manage daily life event.Nutshell talk is that if you want child at this stage first of all go earn some money and do some social welfare .If you will able to do this for 2-3 years that menas you are ready but if you get back your step then leave this idea.

A female's body is not strong physically and mentally at this age. Your feeling to have baby is not wrong but wait for right time. Only having money and strong background are not the basic criteria to have baby. Mentally you need to be strong, taking care of baby is not easy. Unfortunately people depend on maids to take care of baby. But the baby will not develop emotional connect with parents. Secondly I suggest that complete your education and stand on your feet to take responsibility.

Hi
It is good thought
But despite your financial condition and legal requirements
Many other things also should be considered.
You think you are mature.
But
Your body / physically you are still very young to have a child.
Your uterus is still immature to have a healthy baby.
So wait till 18- 19 .
Do not take the decision on emotional way.
There are many factors to be considered-
- Financial
- physical
- mental
- environmental
- legal
- Practical
