18 and really want to be pregnant

hi everyone,
I'm 18 and really want to become a mom. My fiancé and I are also planning to move in together and we'd love to have a baby... The only problem is that I haven't even finished secondary school yet. He would cover all the costs until I graduate... I want it so badly... I've had this maternal instinct since I was so young.
What do you guys think I should do? I feel so stuck, help me out!

    Hey girl!
    You ultimately make that choice yourself, but based on my own experience, I'd say don't do it. When I was 18, my boyfriend and I wanted a baby so badly!! So badly, but I was also studying, and in the end, we chose to wait until I had graduated. And there I am, 6 years later, and pregnant! I think if I had had a baby during my studies, I wouldn't have made it. There are plenty of teen moms who are very happy with their kids, but if you still want to study, I'd advise you not to do it... The choice is really yours, but from my own experience, I'm glad I didn't do it back then! Hope I haven't made you too doubtful, and if you do it anyway, I wish you all the best and good luck because it will be tough!

    I'd also say wait until you're a bit older and you've both built up your lives a bit. It's tough to study while also having a child, and your child needs a good foundation at home.
    It might seem silly that people are telling you this now. But when you're a bit older, you'll understand that you're still going through a lot of personal development as you grow into adulthood.

    I'd say do what makes you happy when you're both ready and support each other—you should just do it!
