Oh, Agnes, I still ask myself this question...and my children are your age! You figure it out as you go, with a lot of help from friends, family, doctors, and INSTINCT. Trust yourself.

I love being a mother - love it, love it. Loved it even thru the discouraging, hard , painful moments. (Teen years are not for the fainthearted) Before taking the plunge and going off the pill, I never quite felt entirely ready. But I'm so glad I took the plunge.
