Thank you!

Answer

I don’t think 20 is too young. For myself, I didn’t have a child until my 30s and something I appreciated about that was I was able to really able to live freely in my 20s. There is a lot of growth and change and discovery during those years and I didn’t have to consider anyone but myself. When I had a baby I was so ready, both emotionally and financially. I don’t suggest waiting 10 years if you really want one now but that’s just something to think about in making your decision.

Answer

If you have a stable job and a stable home go for it. Fuck what others think, you don't need to be married to have a child and you don't need to be 30+ to have one either.
Being a young mom is ok! I'm 23 and my husband and I have just started TTC. I have a stable career, he's finishing his master's degree in software development and we're working on getting our own home soon. We're even thinking of just letting him be a stay at home dad until our kids are in school/head start programs.
There is no time frame for having kids and people who shame young women for TTC so soon are ridiculous. 
I would also recommend that if you haven't been with your boyfriend for long definitely think of the pros and cons of if you were to break up, which is hard to think about, but would you be able to financially support yourself and a child without him(not including possible child support).
Weight your options, pros and cons, if you decide to go through with it then good luck! Baby dust and happiness to you💖🎉

Answer

Way too young

Answer

It depends more on if you’re ready and able than your age, there’s really no set age for when you’re suddenly perfectly okay to have a kid, there’s middle aged people who most definitely shouldn’t be having kids. I’m 20 myself and I just had my second, I have my own place with my SO and I’m able to afford both my children, we actually planned our second too. So a 20 year old can do it perfectly fine, I even did it perfectly fine at 18 with my first 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I had a baby at 18 definitely wasn’t ready finically but physical and mentally I was. I’m now 20 and he’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Finically were good now and every thing is great.

Answer

My mum has me at 16 and I always knew I wanted to be a young mum but it took us nearly 2 years to conceive. Me and my partner are 22 and we can’t wait to be parents. There’s no right or wrong age to have children it’s when you decide

Answer

They shouldn’t care you’ll be the one raising the baby. Do what you’re comfortable with because no matter how much you prepare it won’t be the same anyway 💖

Answer

I had my daughter at 20. I was mature for my age but I didn’t get to live a life. I have had a job since I was 11. I went to post secondary school for years. I never got to be irresponsible or have fun in my life. It sucks. 
Live a few years before a baby.

Answer

You're asking strangers if you're ready, means you're not ready.
You know you're ready yourself and don't need verification from strangers to do it.🤷‍♀️

Answer

I got pregnant at 20. Had my daughter at 21. I am now 22. My daughter is 10 months old, I’m pregnant again, I am married, and in October we bought our house. If you do it, do it. But you’re never ready for a baby because they’re like mystery jelly beans, but they switch flavours every day.
You can have a cotton candy baby for 9 months and the all of a sudden she turns into an earwax flavour. But you still love her.
