ME NOW… baby later is all about giving you control over your life , so you can enjoy your teen years and become who you want to be—

It is about

• Being able to do what you want to do, have fun, and be with friends.
• Getting and completing your education, and discovering what your talents are.
• Giving you the time to develop healthy relationships and learn about love.
• Thinking about your goals and dreams and creating your future.

ME NOW… baby later is also about helping you avoid early parenthood.

• It is about giving you accurate information, so you can make healthy choices
• Babies are wonderful, but they need a lot of attention day and night– and they cost money!
• Many young parents work hard to care for their children. But being a teen parent makes it harder on both the parents and the children.
• If you are already a parent, it is about avoiding another pregnancy too soon or before you are ready.

ME NOW… baby later is all about WHY and HOW to delay parenthood until it is the right time for you and your family.

Now is YOUR time…to learn and dream and have fun.

WAIT to be a parent.

ME NOW… baby later is a project of the Healthy Futures Alliance, Project WORTH, and Metro Health.
