Anyone feels judgment for wanting a baby in your 20s?

Question

I'm 24 and my husband 27. We are thinking about ttc soon but I'm afraid of being judged that I am too young or it's too soon. Anyone out there relate?

Answer

We had our first right before I turned 22 and right after he turned 27. Some people were like "why you're so young you have plenty of time" when they found out he wasn't an accident but honestly it's none of their business 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Absolutely. I’m a medical student so everyone around me is laser-focused on their careers above everything so the fact that I am TTC is like a shameful secret that I keep to myself 😂 As far as I’m concerned, it’s a personal choice and no one else’s opinion matters!

Answer

I’m 25 Hubby 26 and it’s our decision to try but his sister who started trying to conceive in her 30’s judges us. But it’s honestly only your business. No one else really needs to be in your relationship between you and your SO. And if you decide to have children earlier than others that is your decision to have without their input. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I am 22 & married, I’m husband is 28. Everyone swears there is this timeline of how everyone’s life is supposed to happen. If you believe you and your household are ready for ANYTHING, go for it ! ❤️

Answer

Honestly, I was 27 with my first and felt old compared to a lot of the people having babies these days lol

Answer

I’m 26, my husbands 28. Were working on our first. I do not think you’re too young by any means! Don’t worry about what other people think, as long as you guys are happy and healthy, that’s all that matters!

Answer

Me and bf arent married but live together. Haven't told anyone I'm not on the pill anymore (even have convos at work like I still am when it comes up). Hes 24 and I'm 25 and would be #1 for both of us should we conceive

Answer

Never had issues. And I'm 28 and he's almost 26.  But we're military and religious so we're always asked whether or not we have kids (which is an awkward question because we have one angel baby and are trying for #2.) Depends on the crowd you roll with.  Wouldn't say you're too young though. Everyone I know is having babies in their 20s.

Answer

I’m 21 and he’s 24
