I salute you girl, at a very young age, you were able to be responsible enough in nurturing your children. In my case, I'm 21 when I have my first baby and I find it somehow difficult yet so fulfilling.

I had my first son two weeks before my 20th birthday, my daughter when I was 21, and my last son this year at 23. Now I'm so done. It's hard to remember not being pregnant, so now I'm going to enjoy it.

Hi, vampwitch02. Welcome to myLot! I had my first child when I was 23 years old. Then I had my second child four years later. Then, two years later, I had my third child. Now, I am 31 going on 32 and I have not had a child in three years yet. I have three kids as well too.

I was 28 when I had my daughter and she may be the only one. We worked really hard to have her and feel very blessed to have her. We started trying to have a baby at 25 or 26 and finally got her at 28. Now I am just trying to keep up with her!! I am tired but not sure if I would have had more engery if I was younger or not. Glad we waited, she was a preemie, so I think being older helped a bit with that.

I haven't got kids yet, but I plan to in the future. A good age for me will be around 25 I'd think. I'm not ready to sacrifice my time yet

Hi. It seems to me that most of you have had your kids very young. I had my kid when I was 28. Here in my country most of us have arranged marriages and I got married when I was 27. And I am finding it difficult to handle my kid. She takes up most of my time. How do you manage with 3? I am really surprised. Hats off to all you ladies.

I had my first son when I was 22 years old. It looked like he would be an only child after his father and I got divorced. I had another relationship and ended up having my second son when I was 34 years old. Then I went on to have my daughter when I was 36 years old. If a lady has children when she is 20 to 23 years old then she will have lots of energy to look after her children.

I just had my first baby last January.. I'm now 23 years old and I have a beautiful bouncing baby girl. I salute you for it is hard to take care of kids but every moment with them is can't be exchanged for anything.

Wow! 16? That's really very young. I dont have kids yet cause I got married last year and my husband and I are still working out for the baby. I hope I am going to have a baby this year and if that becomes true, I'll be having my first baby at the age of 27.
