Pregnancy Info HOME

Taylre, i dont think you r to young. I had a baby at 21 and i loved every minute of it. i had my next baby at 27. you do what is right for you and your partner. if your relationship is at its strongest then go for it. i wish you all the luck in the world and im sure you will make wonderful parents. take care x

I am 20 years old and getting marrird in 15 days.we have planned to get pregnant on our honeymoon.I am so ready!!!I will be 21 when the baby is born and husband will be 26.Some people say i am too young i need to live some more.My almost hubby and i are so ready.Do you think we should wait a little while i really dont want to.I am so ready i want to wait a few years and then start college.We both make pretty good money.Are we ready?

Go for, i had my son at 20 conceived at 19 the week after i got married, you get negative comments, looks, but what do they know, my son was conceived in a loving, financially stable relationship and doesnt want for anything. good luck

I am going to be 23 next week and I am 8 weeks pregnant AND I LOVE IT! I say, as long as you feel you have had enough time to party, then why not move on to the next thing. If you feel you are ready, you're ready! Good Luck!

I think having children while you're in your early 20's is the best time. This way you're still young when they're starting their life, and I think younger moms can be more understanding. I'm 20, have a 2 yr. old girl, and due 8/8/05 with a boy. I'm loving every minute of being a young mother!

all those people that say "live your life first, then have a baby later on" don't realize that for some of us, living our lives means having a baby. I am 22, and I have a good job and home, and I don't want to travel or study abroad or whatever it is that all these older people think I need to do. All my life I've just wanted to have children. I can't wait to have a baby, and I can't wait for him/her to grow up so I can have a toddler, then send him/her off to school....some people just don't understand that while for some people waiting is the best option, for others it isn't.

WHAT THE HECK IS TTC

I say do whatever you feel is right for you. People are gonna find an excuse no matter what. Its either "you're too young" or "you're not married". You've already got the married thing down, so they have to find something else to pick at. I just turned 21 last week and I am 9 weeks pregnant. I've been with my boyfriend for two years and we both have good jobs, but we're not married yet. So, I understand how you feel about people and their remarks. Take people with a grain of salt I say. Good luck to you!

I say good luck to you !! I am 22 and want to ttc but hubby is not ready yet. Do what feels rigth for both you and your dh!!

Do what makes you and your husband happy. Don't let other people's judgement get you down.

I'm 21 and ttc to so more power to us!! Baby dust to all!!

I am 21 soon to be 22 and my husband and I are trying to get pregnant. I just went off of the pill and am so excited at the thought of getting pregnant. I think there is nothing wrong with trying as long as you are mature and can give a child the love and security that it needs. I feel the same way as alot of others, I have wanted a child for so long, my husband and I are hugh school sweethearts and have been married for a year, just bought our first home and have great jobs with great benefits. This is just the next step. Why wait? If you wait to become financially ready to have a child you will wait forever. You make it work and sometimes you learn to do without so they can have but it is all worth it in the end. Best of luck to everyone here who is trying to conceive.

My husband and I are 21 and I think if we werre to have a baby now we would be great and able to handle it. I want to have a baby, while my husband wants to wait for us to finish school. But we have talked about TTC in the next few months after our 1 yr anniversay. I say if your ready then all the power to you and best of luck!!!

Hey girl. Nothing is wrong with you being 21 and trying to conceive a baby. You are the only one who knows when you are ready, no-one else. It's not like you are 16-18. You're an adult and are very capable to make decisions on your own. Good luck

People are always going to have their opinions, but everyone wants different things out of life. Me and my husband had our son when I was 21. I am now 24 and trying for another. Women have always made their comments to me making me feel incapable of being a mother. But you know what, I feel so blessed to be a mother and would not change my life for anything. God Bless all of you

All I can say is that I had a baby when I was 17 and my world did not end. I love my children and I am pregnant with number 3. I was mature enough to know what I had to do to make sure my son had what he needed and more. I do not advocate teenage or early 20's preganancy even though I was pregnant. You have to base it on a case by case basis. I did fine and my kids are wonderful. I can't imagine my life without them. Do what is best for you and for the child that you want. If you listened to everybody that had something negative to say would you be where you are right now? Good Luck. I think you may even have one up because you're married. It might make it a little easier.
