Is it ok to get pregnant as an adult even if you live with your parents for now?

Pregnancy is natural and I think if you are over the age of 18 you have every right to get pregnant even if you don’t have the money to have a baby if you are sexually active and want kids. It should just happen naturally am I right? A baby needs love you don’t need a lot of money to have one. You can easily get help. It’s common these days. I could take cute bump pics 🥰

You need money to have a child. They cost. Their medical care costs, their schooling costs and you should be able to provide for them for at least 18 years and for some training or college afterward.

Babies only last two years. Then they're kids. And one person cannot easily provide for a growing child. To impose this upon grandparents is thoughtless and foolish.

When you have your own place and enough money to do this with a partner, OK. But it's not grandparents' responsibility to raise your child or provide for it.

Ask your PARENTS if they buy into this idea. I bet that's a big "NO."

Don't know why or how you've talked yourself into this fantasy, but that is what it is. Unrealistic and shortsighted.

It's best for the child to have financial stability as well as be in a family where both of the parents are not only together but married.

My baby sister brought a baby into this world with hardly any money and still lives with my mom and grandmother. No marriage to the father. While we love the baby, I sometimes have to help out with money. That's not a life a baby should be born into tbh.

You do have every right to get pregnant as an adult Woman. But also have in mind that if you make that decision that baby is going to be your responsibility for at least 18 years and I suggest you get financially stable before you make that decision because contrary to what you said you do need money to raise a child. Love is great but there are basic necessities such as formula, diapers, wipes, baby clothes (they grow so fast), doctor's appointments, etc etc etc. I won't romanticize maternity I'm giving you facts it's a huge responsibility and it changes your whole world.

How do your parents feel about all of this? Why aren't you trying to build a life with the child's father? You're in your mid 30s, not 20. Be a little be more responsible about this situation.

How do they feel? They want me to be settled but life doesn’t always work that way. I am definitely trying to build a life with the child’s father. I am also 30 not in my mid 30’s

You sound EXTREMELY immature and irresponsible. At any rate, I really hope you have an actual plan (i. e. saving as much money as possible). This is real life, not a Disney movie. Indeed. a child needs love, but he or she will also have needs that cost money. LOTS of money. Raising a child is not cheap. Start preparing now.

If you are married, if your parents are okay with it, and if you and your husband are able to support yourselves then sure it's okay. Otherwise it is negligent.

Girl, please. What baby would ever want a broke single mom like you?

[Brittanyroseee]

Id abort ASAP if i found out i was pregnant. I dont sleep around but even if i was married that thing is being yeeted

Girl dont have no baby without a Father or especially before getting married. I grew up without one and the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical toll it took on me it terrible. Especially if you have a son, I feel bad for that child.

You shouldn't have kids of you can't support yourself
