    This is a pretty normal reaction in women whose friends have just had a bub, but you dont have to jump into parent hood yet! Just be a fantastic Aunty to this little bub and see how that goes, be there for your friend, help out, do some babysitting, it's a big thing to have a baby and you will never realise how much work it is until you have one. You are young live a bit and discover who you are first, it will help you when you do become a mother, but yeah I'd wait if I were you. Becoming a Mother will always be there as an option for the next 30 years at least, but if you have one now some of your other optionslike; going out to parties, career, travel, a relationship, buying a house etc, will likely never happen.

    Im sure you will be a great mummy one day though!

    If your really clucky, get a puppy!

    Babies are an amazing gift. But they are alot of work alot of money and alot of time.idk how old your friend is but I have two kids and im 20. I got Prego in high school completely unplanned . Pregnancy itself is exhausting . The bigger u get the more tired you are. Having a baby young you lose friends you lose ur freedom. You can't go out with ur friends because that baby is ur responsibility. Think about those days when you stay up all night with your friends and you cone home and crash. Happy you don't have anyone to take care of but yourself . You can't do that with a baby it u stayed up all night with them chances r your gonna have a long day with them too. If a baby is that important to you. Then they are important enough to wait till u have a good job a good partner and you got to have ur fun while u were young. Trust me their worth the wait.

    You still are a baby. I had my first baby at 21 and it was way more overwhelming then I expected. Although I have things figured out now. You still have alot of growing up to do. Enjoy your youth because before you know it, It will be gone! wait till youir at least 25...live a little first cuz when you have babies your life revolves around them its not about you anymore.

    Babies take a lot more love then they give. It's really really hard, even for grown ups. And let's face it, you are still a kid. Kids should not have kids. There will be plenty of time for you to have lots of babies when you are older and more able to provide for a them.

    For now, babysit, babysit, babysit. Get your fill of other peoples babies and give them back to mom when you are tired or when to go play. And bonus, you can earn some money!

    Having a baby has a lot of work and a lot of sacrifices involved. How would you pay for medical bills, baby food, baby clothes, baby medication? What about your education? What about your career? You have plenty of time to have a baby. Use this time to save up.
