I am way too young (at least in this day and age) to be a mother, as I am only nineteen. But especially since I've developed feelings for another, I think I've caught the so-called "baby bug." I bought a book, a little dress... I lied and said it was for my sister (who is four.) I just couldn't resist. I cry about it a lot, too.

I obviously am in no place to have a child right now (I have enough to deal with at this time in my life, plus I lack a sperm donor (partner), if you will) but it is driving me CRAZY. Especially when all my fucking life, I never liked babies or wanted children.

CANT. STOP. THINKING. ABOUT. BABIES.

Hi Sanvean17.  I think it is only natural for us women to want a child.  I have 2 of my own.  I love them with all my heart and soul, but I'll tell you, parenting is HARD.  And that is with the help of a partner.  I had no idea how hard parenting would be.  I'm sure it is harder for me as I'm on the spectrum, and have sensory issues with noise.  My suggestion is to at least wait until you are in a committed serious relationship to have a child.
