Is it bad if I start trying for a baby already?

Question

Im 20 years old, my husband is also 20. We got married August 11th and I just want to start making babies already. Both our parents think we should wait like 5 years and just enjoy being married but honestly I just want to start a family. I don't know who to talk to about this, and I figured I could get a completely unbiased opinion on here. What are the pros and cons of being a younger mom?

Answer

I'm 20 and my husband is 23, we got married at the beginning of the year and started trying for a baby soon after (we couldn't wait to start a family! 🙈) I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant and we're both so happy and excited for our little one to be here. I think if you both feel stable in your lives and your marriage then why not try if it's what you both want! Good luck!

Answer

I mean y'all are married, you can do whatever you want, and I'm assuming if you're married your finances are good enough. I'm 20 and pregnant with my first and I'm so happy to become a mom!

Answer

I'm 18 and 26 weeks pregnant with twins. I'm not married but I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years. It just depends if you feel ready or not I guess

Answer

i think if you are ready to go for it! im 19 and pregnant, also married! people outside of my family have told me to wait until we are more ready but to me there will always be another reason to wait... good luck!

Answer

Why is it bad? Your married and a adult. go for it! If you feel ready then do it! I'm 16 and got pregnant at 15. If you are financially stable and relationship is good, it's really not as hard as people say, I mean I guess it depends on how good baby is. I was blessed with a very mellow baby who sleeps all night already at 2 months.

Answer

I'm 20, my fiance is 20. We've been together for 3 years, and engaged. We already have a 2 year old. And wanted another baby so bad. I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant with our second. It's totally how y'all feel as a couple. If both are on board, then let the baby making begin!

Answer

I got pregnant at 19, had my daughter at 20... to me honestly I dont see any cons, being a mother is the best in the world! And if yall want to start having babies DO IT! It isnt anyone elses relationship!

Answer

Hey I'm 21, with a almost 4 year year old and ttc with my new partner! although eveltn was unplanned, i couldn't think of how my life would be without her! Im not sure what teenage parent stigma is like in the US, but it was pretty bad here and i still get bullied for it 😑 it's your life, make your own decision! whatever happens as long as it's right for you 😗

Answer

In my opinion, it isn't ever a bad thing to have a child. If you and your husband, both want a child, then have a child. You made your own family, and if that's what you both want, then have a baby. Yes, it's okay to take in consideration your parents point of view, but also, remember that they aren't you, and you aren't them. Do what you think would make you happy. My daughter is six months old, and I already want another, but I know it isn't ideal at the moment. But if I were to be pregnant again, it would still be a miracle, no matter how challenging it can be now and then.

Answer

As long as you're ready, out of high school, and feel financially and emotionally stable...go for it! Life doesn't stop when you start a family, it may slow down and change a bit but you'll have so much energy!
