Too young to have a baby?

Question

Yeah I know people are probably going to give me a lot about this but I'm 19 years old. Me and my boyfriend been together for a year but known each other for 3 years, we been through a lot together especially when we had no one else we stuck by each other's sides, well we love each other, both work and are getting apartment  in about a month already talked to the people. And I want a baby. Yes I know it comes with responsibilities and you won't have much to yourself but I been through a lot in life and want a baby because I want to give it the life I didn't have to give all the love I have and it back as well. I feel like it wouldn't be the end of my life that it would be the beginning of it and would make me feel I have something to look forward to a goal to making it happy, keeping it safe and healthy, teaching it the things about life. Also if I was to have one well get pregnant soon i'd be 20 when it gets here and 20's are the best years for your reproductive system. But I'd like others opinions on this, would you say too young?

Answer

Id personally wait. My husband and I got married at age 22 and I had baby fever, however I put it aside and am almost done with my masters. It's amazing how much more stable we are only 2 1/2 years later. You're so incredibly young. Id get things like school or work settled, have a good size nest egg together (supposed to be a years worth of rent) that way you have back up for rainy days. Then I think you can actually enjoy your time with your child instead of trying to do it all.

Answer

I thought the same thing when I was 19, I'm now 23 with a healthy almost 3 year old and it was the best decision I ever made! Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise you're not too young! I'm now TTC my second 😍

Answer

Your never too young for anything hunni im 22 and me and my partner who is 20 are ttc at the moment. As long as you both have stable jobs and know you can financially support this baby then go for it. But first have a think of all the goals/wishes you have in life. Like my dream was to go to australia. Me and my partner went travelling there few months ago and now iv done that its all iv wanted to do. Iv had my nights out girly holidays girly weekends and now i feel like its time for me to grow up. We have our own home we met on a dating website this time last year and we will have only been together next month for a year. I think life is to short to mess around. If its something you are passionate about go for it. It doesnt matter how long youve been with someone or known them you could be with someone for years and not feel the way you do now (i did with my ex) but as long as in your heart and guts it feels right then good luck too you :) xxxx

Answer

I wanted to have a baby at 18-19 years old with my then boyfriend, we never ended up ttc at the time. We are married now and I'm 22 and I think it worked out for the best because I'm in a much better place than I was at 19. You grow a lot in a short amount of years so in my opinion, I personally would wait.

Answer

I'm 18 and me and my husband are trying to have a baby. You're definitely not too young!

Answer
