So did I at age 16. every time I babysat I wanted one or a dozen of my own. Then I grew up met a guy, we purposely planned and had a beautifl child... - wake up time the baby kept not breathing, and was colicy, doctors and WIC told me it would pass stop being a nervious mom, at 4 months baby was admitted to the hospital though he had mild episodes his not breathing I was told fell withing the normal rage stop being a nervious mom, a month later my child was diagnosed with chronic and debilitating asthma where I had to administer by nebulizer (breathing machine) intal and albuterol, and if he stopped breathing in the night - just pinch his toe to make him cry if he's crying he is breathing, then calm him down and give him some albuterol and let him go back to sleep (news flash albuterol on my baby was like medicating with sugar and caffiene. ) So my baby slept in my bed for the next three years being rudely woke up everytime he had an "asthma" attack in his sleep. and then we would spend the next two hours with him sitting on my lap leaning against me trying to not only breath but also sit still while reading - Big, Big brown, Big brown Bear, Big brown bear beautiful babbon....(The B Book) The sun did not shine....(cat and the hat) ...besides learning how to sleep in shifts between asthma attacks he had a great education - By the time my child was three he knew his letters, sounds, and three letter words. Then of course theres the many nidnight rides to the logal urgecare for when his albuterol inhaler was doing no good so he had to be taken in to be nebulized with hospital strength medication. and grow boy did this baby grow every month I was buying him new clothes, shoes and so on and then his growth slowed down to buyiing him new clothes and sneakers every 4 months. he's 13 has he stopped growing yet - nope he is now wearing mens XL at 140pounds and 5 feet tall. Does he still have asthma - yes but the night time stop breathing episodes have now been upgraded to sleep apnea -One consolation he's in foster care and residential treatment program so they can no longer use the excuse of nervious mom syndrom and the system had to buy his medical equipment needed for this.

Babys are fun but with that comes the responsibility that the mom is responsible foreach and everything - food clothing shelter, medical problems, lack of sleep, midnight and 4 am feedings until the baby sleeps through the night. having a baby also takes a huge chunk out of social life. friends that had no children slowly but surely disappear, friends end up being the moms met at WIC, and DHS if on welfare instead of out partying and meeting new friends at the parties because no money left for partying after needed baby/child has been bought, favorite TV shows become Barney, Sesame street, Bambi, 101 Dalmations...

Wait Im ahead of myself here .. I had absolutely no problems with pregnancy, Labor - 5 hours of beginning labor - pains that feel like you got punched in the stomach but not yet active curling your toes, make you feel like you are going to pass out - the active stage lasted 24 plus hours (plus because I ended up dissociating and floating in la laland)

I know this is not what you want to hear but if you are pregnant its what you have ahead of you and you have a better chance of surviving emotionally if you know not only the good side of cudding and holding and loving a baby.
