How old is too young?!

Question

What age would you say it's okay to conceive?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2.5 years and we are thinking about starting a family. We have the money, home, and love to support children. But I am 19 and he is 24.
His parents and our friends are always asking when we are having one, and I have been highly considering for a while now.

Also, I've been on the nuvaring for a year now and I've just taken it out! I was wondering how long it would take to conceive after having it out.

I was looking for opinions!

Answer

I don't think anyone can tell you when your ready for a family! I'd only just turned 20 when we planned our family (my partner was 23 (soon to be 24) and we've got a wonderful little boy who will be 4 years old tomorrow!!

Answer

I don't think it's a matter of age. Just whenever you're ready. Married, good jobs, stable home. Whenever you feel like you're fully ready for the responsibility.

Answer

I think young 20s is okay to start IF you have BOTH been at stable well paying jobs with benefits for a while, you both want it, have planned for, you have Ben together for more than a year, your desire for the baby overrides your desire to hang out with friends or have regular date nights. You are not living check to check and actually have savings that exceed 200-300 bucks. Your life already feels complete and in a good place (your not asking your parents, for money, rides, food or living with either of your parents), you have your own place and reliable transportation that is not dependent on anyone else besides your so. You can go a months without partying, drinking or shopping non stop for yourself.

Answer

Personally I think you are too young. You have a lot of time, what is the rush? Finish college, get married, enjoy being newly weds, etc.

Answer

I don't think anyone can tell you "if you're ready or not" only you know that. Every person is different! I'm 23 and I've met some 30 year olds that I'm a lot more mature than. Maturity level and stability is a huge factor! and of course having your spouse there too. I'm married with a almost 2 year old and are working on #2!

Answer

The fact is are you ready emotionally to support another human being. There is 15 year olds who are better mothers than some 30 year olds. I say go for it if you are stable and it is what you and you SO want

Answer

I think you're better prepared for it in the late 20s to mid 30s. Anytime around then is perfect.

Answer

Late 20's to early-mid 30's I believe is the best time. I'm 23 and I am no where near ready!! I have so much that I need to prepare!!

Answer

I'll be 24 this month and I have a 5 week old son and I still feel young! Good luck to you.. Just do what feels right.

Answer

My advice to you is 25 is the best age to have a Child you're to young enjoy spending time with you're boyfriend, now because later on with a child sometimes is difficult and the time is for them not for you're husband, But when baby is asleep get the opportunity to be with You're husband.....:)
