20 years is not too young to have baby. But having baby in the early age needs a lot of consideration such as financial and mental stability.

hi their. i hope you still read this. i just want to tell you that everyone has different opions and what one may say doesnt really matter its all about you and if you want someones opion then you need to ask people around you who know you best because your age does not determin who you are or what you are ready for. so please think about it. you know your self better than anyone could ever know you and asking someone who has and never will meet you a question like this is only bound to get negative feed back. it doesnt matter what anyone else has done or believes its all in you. just remember this one whats right for one person may not be right for another.

it all depends if your ready i had my first daughter when i was 17 and now i'm pregnant again with my 2nd child and i'm 20 well i'm gonna be 20 next month i didnt think i was ready when i had my 1st but then while i was pregnant i realized how much i grew up and noticed i was ready to deal with my child and now i know i wouldn't change anything in the world i'm happy i had my daughter and i'm happy i'm pregnant again because i dont want to wait like 10 more years or something like that to have another one i want my kids to be around the same age and that way when my kids are older i still have time to do everything i never got to do in my 20's like most people do so i think if you think your ready then go for it but if you dont know your ready then wait

Only you can answer this question. Everyone is different and it all depends on what you want from life. Many women want careers first and many women want to have children first. Sometimes, it just happens and all things work out. You need to discuss this with your significant other and figure it out with him. Good luck with whatever you do.

Age is not really anyones business. If you and your bf are REALLY ready for the commitment of a baby then you should discuss ttc.

I had my first when I was 20. I don't see why you nned to ask us

I was 20 when I had my first child and I'm happy I did because by the time she is old enough to go out and party I will still be young enough to do that as well

well i'm 19 and my son is three months. if i could have, i would have first made sure i had the ability to get a job that would support myself and a child on my own (i'd have made sure i wouldn't HAVE to depend on anybody...its never good to feel trapped and you never know where life will take your relationship)After that i'd just make sure i felt good about raising a family with my boyfriend and spending our lives together, and make sure he felt the same way. personally my baby was a pleasant surprise, and after much trauma and rehab for my boyfriend ( who i'm pround to say is in school getting his degree in substance abuse counseling) i'm very happy about our family, sometimes though i think things like living on my own, no roommates ect. just for a while or traveling or just experiencing more independance than i have would have been nice...but i'll just work what i can into my family life. i'm sure someday my son would love to go to italy with us or something. think and talk it through and when you decide to go for it enjoy every minute of it. good luck

I was 21 when I fell pregnant with my first child and was at Uni studying. I panicked - a lot! but it was the best thing in the world. It is a personal decision made between the both of you. Just make sure you are ready to become a mother because is the hardest un-paid job you will ever do in your life but also the most rewarding.

If I were you I would go to some college of some sort before I have any babies, I had my son at 18, im 28 and just now going to college to better myself, If you have a lot of time on your hands, be productive.

I would say yes. Get out and see the world! Do things now that will be difficult to do once you have kids. I was 22 when i had my first,and i felt that was too young. How about waiting until you are at least 24? Ultimately it is your decision..

Hi Sadg! I had my first child two months after I turned 20 and my second at 22. I love my kids and we are TTC #3 this cycle. If everything goes well, we will have all our kids by my mid twenties. It seems like I am missing out on things now, but I still have lots more time left, God willing. I will also be a young enrgetic mom who will most likey see her grandkids marry and have babies of their own. The only thing I regret was getting married after having our first two kids. My body did change after having two large babies 10 and 9 lbs. In my mind, I missed out on my perfect wedding. So if you and your boyfirend love each other to share a child together, then why not talk about marrying! You will have your dream wedding, gorgeous prebaby body pictures :) Go on a honeymoon and being the baby dance! :) Good luck!
