Personally, I'd wait at least 2 or 3 years. You'll be surprised how much you grow and change over that amount of time, and having a baby so young would close so many doors for you!
Just relax and enjoy this time with yourself and with your hubby. I know it's exciting to think about, but you really can't go back and change it once its done. Good luck!!! :) ↑

when you feel your ready. I think that is the best time. Can you really put a number on it? People are ready for different things at different ages, I am 21 and married and have been ttc for almost a year and a half. Everyone says i am too young, but what to they really know about my life, right?
I do agree with musicbabywife2008. The younger you are the easier it is on your body and the easier to conceive. I think if you are in a stable marriage and excited for motherhood, go for it! ↑

I got married at your age we've been married a few years now. My dd is just over 1 and I got pregnant just months after getting married. It really does make things so much tougher. I just now started college as I want to do something with my life and I'd like my dd to do the same, not just sit home and raise kids. But being a SAHM as well, I can only afford to take night classes daycare is far too much. Our budget is very tight. We don't have any family they live across country so finding babysitters while he's deployed and while I have to go to class is just horrible. I'd say wait a few years get some college under your belt, actually buy and own some cars maybe a house, just so your financially stable and won't have to worry about juggling bills and groceries. Please enjoy your time with your new hubby : ), we don't get alone time at all anymore. Go out and enjoy dates with him or theme parks! ↑

I'm 26 now and couldnt really imagine having a baby any sooner. Even though throughout my whole early twenties I swore I was ready.....I wasnt, LOL. At least wait until your over 21 so you can party. ↑
