too young?!

Question

My partner and I are both currently 19 almost 20. We live together and have a stable income as we both work full time jobs. The past few months I've been thinking about children more than usual. I work in childcare and the more time I spend with children the more I want one of my own. I just feel such a strong urge for a child but I'm unsure it would be the right choice due to my age. My partner and I have talked about it multiple times and came to the conclusion that if it happened we would be happy. I would love to hear your opinions

Answer

My fiance and I just had our son almost 2 months ago and we're around the same age (19&20). It wasn't planned, no but when we found out, we were happy, I wouldn't trade him for the world ❤ As long as you and your partner have good communication with each other, are stable, and have REALLY thought about it then I definitely think that it's possible. Good luck! 👍💚

Answer

Hello, me and my husband have been living together for the past two years, I'll be 20 in July and he's 23. I REALLY want a baby, the urge is so strong to start a family with him, but at the same time I know I want to be 23 or 24 before it actually happens. I want us to be able to spontaneously go out to a bar at the beach for a night once I'm 21, I want to be able to pack up and just go out for a night. I want to enjoy being young just a little while younger. We both agree if it happens we'll be okay, but at the end of the day I really think we'll both be happier if we have a little more us time before we embark on the journey of parenting. It's a job that takes all of your time and money and puts strain on your relationship. If you're ready then you should, but you should really consider some of the thing you want to do while you're young with your SO before you add a baby in the mix. Good luck!

Answer

You're not too young girl. Plus you both have a stable income coming in so you're practically as ready as you'll ever be. I'd say go for it! I will be 19 in about a month and a few days and I really want a baby myself so I know how you feel!
