become a mother

This one is going to be awhile.

It’s been my deepest desire since I turned 13 or 14. Can’t wait!

I guess maybe just about everyone wants children even when your five and playing house right? Well see I’m only 16 and I’m having the strangest urge to want children really bad right now. And I mean I always have but for the last year, everytime I see a child or hold one or anything like that, I have a pain in my chest for the longing of wanting my own children now. I guess it’s reallly stupid to want them now though…I’m still I child myself in some ways. I’m only a junior. And I’m not trying to grow up any faster or anything. But then again- good things happen and come to those who wait. Maybe I should just trust in what I believe say lol :)

all i’ve wanted is to become a mother, I love children and just want my own little family, because when they are little they will need me and love me as much as i love and need them, hopefully

I love being a momma to my two little blessings! Most days!! :)

I have done this 3 times over. I have three beautiful daughters, born in 96, 99, and 03. They are the best things I have ever done in my life. Being a mother is the toughest and most important job in the world. I work hard every day to make sure I am doing the job to the best of my ability. Some days are great, others not so wonderful, but never ever would I change it. I love being a momma. Thank you Gaby, Lexi, and Nat Nat for making my dream come true.

I gave up, dont want to anymore. Have friend with hooligan teenagers, made me think different about the whole kiddy thing. and a friend with a baby which is now her entire life… also not my thing.

sorry… hope that all others will continue to be willingly mothers.

I have mixed feelings on becoming a mother. I’ve always kinda been on the fence about having kids. Obviously when I put this on my list I was on the pro side.

I’m not sure I want to have children because a) this world is scary enough without fending for children b) over population, if I were to have kids it would be 1, 2 max c) it’s expensive! think about how much earlier I could retire.

All those reasons are fine a good but the real reason I’m unsure about having kids is bipolar disorder (AKA manic-depressive). This serious mental illness runs in my family and is hereditary (usually through women). I am lucky and don’t have it, but my sister does (severely). I’ve watched first-hand, her struggles with the illness and the pain that my parents (who are not bi-polar but obviously carry it) went through trying to help her. I also have several aunts who have the disease, one of which committed suicide due to it. It is terrifying to think that I could pass this on to a daughter myself since I am likely a carrier. The genetic roots of bipolar are not known and there is no way to screen for it currently. Additionally, the disease onsets with major hormonal changes. Usually puberty, but can also onset with pregnancy. This means that although I made it through puberty without bipolar, if I became pregnant it could manifest.

I have forever been torn about the idea of young mothers. Are they throwing away the possibility of further education to pop out children or are they sacrificing part of themselves to better the world with the addition of each child. One day i will make my own conclusion. One day i will become a mother.

I always knew growing up that I wanted to be a mother some day. I just didn’t realize how soon I would accomplish it. At the young age of 18, I became pregnant after only knowing the father a couple short weeks. My AshLee Kaye was born on April 5, 1993 to be followed by Erika Hope on October 15, 2002 and finally Mia Azul on October 27, 2007. They are the most beautiful pieces of my life.
