I'm 14 years old and I've always wanted a baby . Ever since I was little I've always loved babies . I know I'm just a baby myself but its driving me crazy . But I'm not even into doing anything sexual , I think sex 'making love' should not occur until after marriage . I've been having 'baby fever' I know I want to go through with high-school and I want to go to beauty school after but I just can't stop thinking about how much I want a baby . I've been having dreams and I've been daydreaming about it for the past month . I used to not want kids because I was scared about how much it would hurt or how big I would get but ever since the dream I had last night I feel like it's all totally worth it . I really want a baby. What do I do to get over this baby fever ? I don't want to have a baby this young it'll ruin my life and my parents trust towards me . I just need to know how to get it off of my mind . Please help me
Answer
My young one I will help you. The best way to get over wanting a baby is to keep thinking about it! Crazy I know, but there is a reason for my madness.
Baby's are not cheap, at all. Once you have a child you will have it for the rest of your life.
Now being 14 years old and the summary of your question shows that you are a very bright person. But I can tell you now that this is a great age to start doing things that will make having a child in the future better.
One. During High School continue to save any allowance or gift money starting now. Make two saving funds, one for your Beauty School, the second for your wedding.
Two. When in High School concentrate on your studies. If you school offers the classes take a Child Development and Cosmetology or a form of it that they might offer.
Three. When your the right age around 16 look for a job. This will bring in income that will help with savings. At this time you can start saving for the baby along with your other two savings.
Now that these three things have been said on to the list.
The list are important item's and other things that you and the future baby will need.
I have a personal list here that I will share with you.

Nice list huh? Mind you this is just my list, to give you an idea, though feel free to look things up.
Now we move on to other things.
Doing research on questions you might have now for babies is best done looking up sites that are for baby development. Things to look up include Hospital's and Insurance.
Also ask yourself questions.
First off what do you think about Marriage? Personally I find no shame at all by saying that I'm not looking for dates I'm looking for the man who will be my husband one day. Best bet wait till you 16 plus before that. Or that you prefer to be courted which mean's you want a relationship that will lead to marriage.
Also ask yourself about other things, such as, where do you want to live in the future, what are my current goals and dreams, how does wanting a baby effect my life now?
And last things that should be done long before one has a child at all.
Being Debt free.
Married, secure jobs.
Safe living place.
Both mine and my future life partners needs, not wants, are met.
Be in good health, mind, body, and spirit.
Be safe not sorry.

What's the one must have baby item for new parents?
verdict
My wife and I are having a baby boy in April and I wanted to know what is your opinion of the must have baby gear/item for new parents. I'm not talking about a crib, or a bottle or things like that, I want something that new parents wouldn't think of.
Answer
so I'll list my favorites in order of recommendation:
A baby sling - assuming this is your first child (or even if it's not), you'll probably go through at least a short stage of wanting to have your baby constantly with you. A baby sling is the perfect solution. You can hold your baby right next to you, be completely comfortable, and still have both hands free. The other great use for a sling is if your wife wants to breastfeed. I was able to nurse my daughter in a sling while sitting or standing, and my version actually had a cloth attachment that maintained my privacy during (while I personally have no problems with women nursing in public, some places do - and not all nursing moms are comfortable exposing themselves). My best advice if you get a sling is to go somewhere that you can actually try them on. While some brands are more reputable than others, this is definitely something you want made to fit you. And when your baby's older (at least able to hold their head up), I would suggest switching to a backpack style carrier (front/back or both) since these do a better job of distributing their higher weight.
A travel crib/playpen - I plan on skipping a real crib altogether with my next child and using one of these instead. It works just as well for sleeping up to the age when you'd typically buy a toddler bed anyway, it's smaller, it's portable (Grandma's willing to babysit? Great, we're all ready!), and higher end models even have a relatively high changing table and bassinet for babies up to around 20 lbs (which is great when you're a new mom and your back constantly hurts anyway). Plus, you can get a very nice model for under $100, as opposed to the hefty price of a new crib.
A diaper pail - unless you're planning to take out trash ever day, religiously, these really do make a huge difference. You may not notice any smells at first, but as soon as you start feeding that little one real foods, expect to need noseplugs. A high quality diaper pail helps with this problem tremendously (though don't expect miracles - I've never heard of one that completely eliminates odors, but they do make a huge difference). I'm sure someone out there would disagree with me, but my biggest advice on buying one of these is to skip the Genie!! I have known numerous people who got one and they have all been extremely disappointed. Plus it takes specialty bags which are pretty expensive. I'd stick with the cheaper Diaper Champ, or if you want something nicer for a fancy nursery, the Diaper Decor.
A carrier carseat - ok, so I know a carseat qualifies as "required items" (aka not what you're looking for), but I can't even begin to count the number of times that my daughter fell asleep in the car, just to wake up when we got to wherever we were going because I had to unstrap her from the carseat. With a carrier, you can remove the carseat from the base, leaving your child still safely strapped in place - and blissfully asleep. (Trust me, there's nothing worse than a baby who's cranky from being woken up but too well rested to go back to sleep. This was especially horrible when trying to keep her quiet someplace like church.)
