Infertility Counseling

Chrissy asked:


I fear my 16 year old niece is trying for a baby.
I’m hoping she is infertile.
I have no reason to believe she is.
What are the chances of any given teen being infertile?

   I know your heart is in the right place but be careful wishing bad things on other people. Even if it is for the best. I would suggest sitting your niece down and talking to her. Many kids today are just confused and think that if they have a baby they will always have someone to love them. They have no idea the immense responsibility they are about to take on. Even if she doesn’t listen to you; you can at least say you gave it your best. In the end she is the one that has to make the decision and live with the consequences.

   Okay, why would you ever wish someone was infertile! That’s horrible. If you think she’s trying to get pregnant, you should talk to her like a normal person, instead of wishing bad things on her! Shame on you. And I know a lot of teen girls who have babies, so it’s not very likely!

   I would not think and hope that someone is infertile. That’s not a good way to think at all. I know that you feel angry and wish that she wasn’t doing it. I would sit down and talk to her and ask her why she is trying and tell her that she should wait till she is older and have a stable income coming in and not live at home. She needs to wait til she is married and old enough to handle the responsibility of taking care of a child on her own. She should not have to rely on her parents for her to take care of the child. She is going to have to know that she will miss out on alot of things like hanging out with her friends and going to the mall or the movies. If she did get prego she would regret it because she would want to do things with her friends but she would have to say home and take care of the baby. she wouldn’t like that at all.
   just tell her to wait till shes older and please tell her that we do not need any more teen moms.
   Good Luck !
