RELATIONSHIPS VS BABIES
Having a baby is one of the biggest and most stressful event in life. Some pregnancy are planned and some come as a big surprise. Planned or not a baby and be a huge strain on a relationship. I don't know about ya'll but I have noticed more and more young people are family babies! It shocks me that almost everyone I graduated high school with is ether pregnant or already has multiple children. At lot more goes into having child then people realize. Babies take up a lot of money, time, attention, and energy.
Sometimes we make mistakes. Sometimes we fall in love and trust someone who doesn't deserve it. Sometimes we are blinded by love and end up with an unplanned pregnancy. You believed every lie that got you into bed but when you tell them the news you find yourself alone with a big belly and a big decision. Now I do agree with using abortion as a plan b. The only season for an abortion is incest, rape, or a nice or dead situation. But if you find your self with no money, no help, no job, no man, or if your just don't feel like your are ready for this baby then adoption may be for you. Adoption is very hard! It isn't something you decide over night. But if you know you aren't ready to raise a baby then you should give your baby a chance in life and give yourself a chance at life. Their are two different types of adoption. Closed adoption and open adoption. With open adoption the adopted family with send you pictures and updates. Some open adoption families with even allow you to come and visit the baby. There are tons and tons of good, caring, nurturing, and loving families out there that would love a beautiful baby but they can't conceive. You can give them there greatest gift anyone could give someone. Sometimes when you find your self pregnant and alone a real man comes a long. A man who loves you, is willing to raise the baby as his own, who wants to be a family, and who understands that you and the baby our a package deal. If a man comes along like that then you are truly blessed. Those man are a dying breed.
Babies cost money! A lot of money! A baby can cost anywhere between $1,500- $9,000 a year! Feeding cost $300-$3,000 a year! Diapers cost $500-$1,000 a year! Clothing costs $200-$500 a year! A nursery costs $300-$2,500! Bathing costs $30-$70! Baby gear costs $200-$2,000! That does even count schooling, medical, or daycare. That is just for the baby that's not counting your other bills! So how much do you make?
Planned or unplanned babies take up a lot of attention, time, and energy. This can take a toll on any relationship. You don't get enough sleep so then you get cranky or fussy with each other. Because you have no energy your sex life takes a toll. There isn't enough time in the day to be romantic with each other or the send time with each other. This can cause fighting and frustration in a relationship. Your spark tends to flicker or maybe even die out. You can even become depressed and stressed out. A baby should bring happiness and joy! A baby is a bonding experience.
If your aren't ready for a baby then take the responsibility to use protection! Wrap it up fellas and ladies it isn't just a guys responsibility get yourself on some protection as well! If you are at a stable place in your relationship where you both agree on making a baby take into account what goes into having a baby. As your self. Do I have the time? Do we make enough money? Do you have a stable relationship? Do you have a stable house hold? If you just had a baby and it is taking a toll on your relationship date nights are very important! Grandma won't mind seeing her little darling while you and daddy go out for some you time. It is important to keep the love in your relationship going! Always make at least 15 minutes for each other everyday. If you do find your self alone and with an unplanned pregnancy adoption is always a good idea. It doesn't mean you are a bad person. I means you are thinking about someone other then your self. You are giving your baby a chance at life. For more pregnancy help call these hotlines:
