How Young Is To Young To Have A Baby?

I don't think there is a set age, but my recomendation is that you wait until you are married at least a year before thinking of kids. The first year of marriage is roung (even if you have lived together) and adding a child is more strain than you really lneed. Plus, most newlyweds don't have the money to support a child. So unless you and your future hubby have super jobs, wait until you have a good amount of money save up (at least a few thousand to cover hospital costs, furtinure, diapers, etc, etc) before trying to have a child.

i think i`ve see this question before. i dont think age matters. as long as you have a steady job and relationship so the baby has both parents and are stable and have your own place. i had my daughter at 16, unplanned but i think i had the maturity to take care of her. a lot of 16 year olds could not take the responsibility of having a baby.

I don't think 20 is too young, but it very much depends on the person, and their individual level of maturity. No, there should not be a limit, because "who" would set this limit, who would enforce it, and how would they enforce it? The idea is horrible!

I am 24 years old now and I have been happily married for a year and a half. My husband and I have been together since I was 18. We still have not had children and do not plan on it until we are financially set. Also I feel it is very important to experience what it is like to be married before putting kids into it. For one you say you have only been together for a little over a year and you will not be getting married for another 7 months. Why do you want to be pregnant and showing very much so on your wedding day? I don't think you should be so worried about your body and not having gotten pregnant right now. You know it could be that your not ment to be right now. You are too young to be worried about that and I do think you should be married first. For one, not meaning to be cruel and I don't know the love that you and your fiance share but things happen and your relationship is still pretty new. Having a baby can create so many emotions. My best friend is pregnant right now, and she is angry and screaming one minute and crying the next. You don't want the added stress on top of planning a wedding. 20 isn't too young if you are truely ready, but I personally would perfer to be married first.

Having children is a wonderful experience but can also be stressful. I have always suggested to newly weds to wait at least two years into their marriage to have children. It is not a matter of age or how long you have dated. It is a matter of being able to spend the beginning of your relationship learning, loving, building, and understanding each other. When you have this solid foundation, you will be more able to help each other and have better appreciation for the others feelings that involves with having a child. Again, it is not a matter of age...it is a matter of relationship maturity.

I think anyone under 16 is way too young to have a baby - because you can't even get a job. If you are 20, you are old enough to have a baby - just make sure you are financially and emotionally ready.
