Weird Problem...

I'm 16 years old, and I'm not sure If I am broody or not :confused:

Ok this is weird, but recently I have been really longing to be pregnant, just to have the feeling of a baby in me and being protective of my 'bump' and just having that feeling. I really want a baby to hold and to care for, and have a child look up to me and smile. I think the thing is I just really want a baby to hold and be protective of and really love.
Thing is though, realisticly i don't want to be pregnant, it's not a good thing to be at 16. I find small children like 4/6 get on my wick a bit (still v. cute though) so I can't really fulfill my motherly instincts at a nursery, and no-one close to me has a baby. Has any other woman had this feeling or should I just put it down to being a bit broody and wanting be motherly and caring towards a child?! :confused:

Please don't post calling me a weirdo or whatever because I'm really not, just need something to love that isn't a pet :p:

(I didn't have a deprived childhood by the way!) So, any advice would be good thanks :smile:

perhaps you should try babysitting, then you can look after them and give them back at the end of the night :P:

Lol the eyes freak me out :p:

And I generally love everything about babies like their fingers and the noises they make lol which I don't think a baby born could replicate :p:

besides mothering a baby born might make me look a little insane...thanks anyway though :biggrin:

I know it sounds a bit strange but I agree with the doll idea :smile:

I have a 'reborn' doll and baisically it's a certain type of doll which has been transformed to look and feel very real. They are usually purchased as works of art and never to play with but I have heard of quite a few women buying them because they wanted a baby and couldn't have one.

They come in all sizes, shapes, weights and lengths etc. and some of them you just can't tell they're not real! I bought mine off of ebay because he just looked amazingly real and I loved the thought of having a baby as a piece of art.

They can be very expensive but well worth it. Plus if the feeling passes or it's not very helpful they sell like hotcakes for ridiculous amounts of money.

i was like this a while ago aswell, i feel your pain so badly....but then when you do get a pregnancy scare it sorts out your head alot.

my advice is try and not think about it and it will pass in time. its the crappy hormones we girls have to put up with it.

I think you sound very mature about this i.e. you have the very natural feeling of longing which is part and parcel of your age and growing up...
(that isn't meant to patronise - your teens make you who you are to a big extent its the time when you question nearlly everything about yourself) but you are also sensible in recognising that no matter how much you think you would like to have a baby you realise that it is not the best idea to be seriously thinking of going through with it at your age.

Some people are in a situations where they could have a baby at that age i.e. financial freedom, steady relationship and the willingness to be a mum 'forever'....

I am feeling the same way at the moment, I have quite a longing to have a baby...although I am 20 which is an OK age, (although as long as you are 16 plus if you are ready I don't think age matters) I know that I have my uni life to concentrate on and I would like to have a career and for my child to be born within a marriage.

I think you sound so mature about this and I wouldn't worry about how you feel.

by the sounds of things, do you not have any younger siblings?
often people who are the youngest who've not had someone younger to love and care for (from when the younger sibling was born) want babies..

try babysitting?
