How prehistoric be you when you become a parent?
i fell pregnant at 16.. had my son at 17.. i was very immature and didnt knw what i was letting myself in for. however, i would not wish my natural life to be any different.
Dont get me wrong there are times i think mmm if things where on earth different i could be at or finished uni by now.. but when i found out i was pregnant i put my life on hold... and worked contained by order to provde for my son.
my son will start primary school in august, i will work for another 1-2 yrs and after consider going back into education
I was pregnant at 14 and have my daughter a month after my 15th birthday. Yes I would have waited longer, I would have like to have been in a relationship and atleast contained by my mid 20's but I was blessed with my angel at 14 and I decided to keep hold of her, being raped at such a young age for me was deeply difficult but I got the best gift ever. My daughter. Source(s): Mummy to 12yr old Triinu
23. It was perfect for us (= My husband and I got married at 18 when we be still in school together (which I don't recommend to anyone else, but worked well for us, foolhardy as it be when we were teens, LOL) so we did have 6 (5 married, 1 dating) years just to ourselves in the past having children. That was really valuable, I estimate. We needed to know each other and see each other through changes, harsh conditions and everything else in life and realise that we still loved each other through it, previously it was a good time to have children together. Some populace who have kids so early in their bridal or relationship, I think just don't realise how much it tests that relationship, and don't own as solid of a foundation to begin with than if they'd gotten to know each other and pushed edges before having kids. I'm really glad we did wait, that we did budge through trials together and got to truly know each other before one parents.
We were both finished university, had a flat in a safe and sound place and secure income, and had most of the crazies out of our system. Will was planned and he be the best thing that ever happened to us at the time (= In fact, parenting suited us so ably that we now have a large own flesh and blood, and our kids are the light of our lives.

34. Ideally, i would have loved to own started sooner, but it wasn't meant to be. 6 years ago, i'd only just met my husband, and we needed to be alone together for a while before starting a family. Then i suffered 2 miscarriages with him, and needed time to make well before plucking up the courage to try again. I do wish i hadn't needed so much time though, as i feel i've deprived my hubby and i of so much rapture.. Source(s): Mum of 4 month old twins, and pregnant with second set.
got preg 17 had her at 18.. i don't regret it at adjectives but i should have waited.. you miss out on a lot of things that i will never know how to do. but shes the best thing that ever happened to me and i wouldnt change it.
I was 24 when I had my first child and for me it be perfect. I had a lot of experience near children before I got married (I have 9 nieces/nephews), my husband is a bit elder then me so he didn't want to wait too long, but I wouldn't change it for anything!! I love anyone young enough to run around with him and immediately that we have our second child I feel that I am able to distribute them more of me then what I could if I was older
I was 30, it was two years after we were married. It be the perfect time because I got two degrees, be out in the workforce, and met The Man when I was 26 - so glad I waited for him!
i am 20, and will turn 21 2 months after my baby is due. i think it is the perfect age for me to hold a baby. i wont miss going out for drinks, going out with mates etc.. because its something that i enjoy never done really. i have been with my fiance for 3 years, and enjoy become the mature 'house wife' so to speak, whilst all my friends continued their 'partying days'. i would prefer my life over theirs anyday and cannot skulk to be a family.
I be 24 when I had my first child and 28 when I had my second child. I think it be the perfect time for me as I don't think I could have coped much younger. Having a child made me really grow up.
In relation to my children (aged 14 and 10), I'm not an "old" mum, nonetheless I'm not a "young" mum.
I'll be 20. I would have wait longer. I wanted to buy a house first, have the money to go insane on a nursery, be finished university and start my career.
But, I'm happy right now. We live contained by an apartment and I'll be going back to school in January to work towards my BN. It'll be concrete, but 4-5 years isn't that long if you think of the possibilities ahead. :)
i be 18 sometimes i wish i waited. u know wait until i have a job choice so i wouldn't b struggling so much. im sceard to even buy him socks im afraid i wont have money for food and what not. (unlike most teen parents i didn't have my mommy or daddy assistance me) but my son is amazing he can always make me happy and i am enormously proud of him even tho he hasn't even done anything yet lol
i had merely turned 18 when i got pregnant and had him 2 months before i turned 19...at times (when my friends be partying) i did wish i would have waited but i am unbelievably happy that i didnt. he is 7 now and is a big help near his little brother. i dont like that there is such a big gap between them but hey i love them none the smaller amount!
25. We were going to start trying at the end of the year but our little man arranged he wanted tp surprise us early. No time it the "perfect" time to have a child.
My first daughter was born when I be 28 my second when I was 31 perfect for me because I was a partier up to that time and wanted to live it up and be irresponsible in my twenties.I gave my self time to grow up a bit and settle down next to a man i knew was gonna stick around and be a good father.
i be 22 and it was a total surprise but i wouldnt change it for the world, cause very soon im to old and wouldnt be able to keep up. i reflect on the perfect ages to get pregnant are between 22 and 30, before that your to youthful and after that your to old.
I just became a parent one month ago exactly and I am 25 years frail, will be 26 in August.
I think that this was the reliable time in my life, everything else may not be perfect timing but my son individual here has definitely been a blessing so far.
bad be 20 when i have my baby boy. i wish i would own been more careful because i wanted to be done beside college and have a career and a beautiful house and i choice i would have been marry first but i am happy and i do plan on staying within school and me and my fiancee are gonna be getting marry next July. our baby would be around 10 months and we do plan on getting a house but that wont appear for another couple of years.
i was 15 when i fell pregers but 16 when i had my first son but i was raped but i wouldnt changeover him for the world i love him to bit as all my kids i would of waited till i was elder but never turned out that way n now im the proud mum of five love them all to bits
I got pregnant at 18 and would have have her after my 19th birthday but she was born premature and came 1 week before my 19th birthday.
I never party or anything like that so I didn't really have "to give up" anything. I still go and get to do the same things I love doing before I was pregnant next to her.
I probably would have wanted to wait a few years though but I'm not regretting her, she's the best point that has happened to me, that and her wonderful daddy(my fiance).
hello
im 21 on thursday and i am 23 weeks with my first!!
i always required to be a young mum so that i could do what i wanted when baby have grown up i wanted to be in my 40s!!
im pleased with my choice and wouldbnt metamorphosis a thing!
i was 20, got pregnant at 19 she be planned and i was even told i couldnt have kids but i was unbelievably forunate to get pregnant naturally. it was the superlative timing for us we were both ready and i dont regret a thing something like it, my daughter is almost 6 months now and i wouldnt change her for the world.
im not a mum but but im due on new years day and im 20. i turn 21 in january. i dont come up with i could had done it at a younger age but i think that my timing is perfect. i know i am prepared now :) x
I am twenty nine, and had my first child at sixteen. I am immensely happy i had my, now thirteen years frail, daughter. She is beautiful. But if i could change anything, which i can't, then i would've wait till i was older. I got drunk, and didn't appropriate my pill, and there you go.
Second child, was planned. I be twenty one, perfect timing. I'd got married a year before that. It brought me and my husband.. massively much "closer" :)
Third child, accident, but i wasn't upset. She's on her way now, and i'm seven months! Perfect timing. Came stale pill because i had to get off every pill for a solid dental medication i was given, and ta da, i fell pregnant. No regrets, though.
I become pregnant at 19. I got married in 01/08 and became pregnant surrounded by 05/08! She was planned! =] She is the best thing that has ever happen to my husband and I! We couldn't be happier!
I was 28 - I couldn't hold coped at an ealier age and glad I wasn't too much older because I still have energy for my son, so guess it be a "perfect" age for me :)
i fell pregnant at 17 but have my lil girl 3.48am day after my 18th birthday i wouldnt change anything im so happy beside my life and i can watch my lil girl grow up while being immature enough to run around with her and after her
I be a few days short of turning 20 when I gave birth.
Your latter is a trickier question. Because if I could rewind time and change things, would I? No. But do I deduce the age of 20 was the ideal time in my duration to have a child? No. My pregnancy was accidental, and I would never own chosen to have a child that early and in those circumstances (single, only just on way to university, etc.). Thing is I was on a really bad road back I fell pregnant, I took drugs, partied all the time, dropped out of everything I did. I was enrol to start uni later that year but I have no doubt surrounded by my mind that I wouldn't have lasted, I was too green and irresponsible. So in that sense, the timing was perfect, have my son may even have saved my life considering I be depressed, suicidal and regularly taking dangerously high doses of cocaine and ecstasy. I grew up virtually overnight and in a minute I can't believe that I'm the same person as who I was rear legs then (and my son is only 18 months old now). AND I hold coped with parenthood just fine so far, I'm not struggling, and I am joyful. But am I as comfortable as I would be if I'd had him ten years down the line with a husband and a mortgage? Of course not. I'm living near my dad currently, but will be moving out soon, and when I do move we're going to be in a pokey little place until I've finished my degree (which I'm studying from home). And that's far from ideal. But my son have a lot of 'stuff', he has plenty of toys (all bought by me), plenty of clothes (all bought by me), a nice pushchair, cot and so on (all bought by me), food in the cupboard (bought by me), and a completely healthy savings account (being built up by me). It's really me that lacks the luxuries, but that I can cope near. So having him when I did wasn't the end of the world, I suppose, he my financial situation doesn't rub off on him and that's the primary thing, I am a good mother to him despite my lack of old age that older parents would possess, the only real entity that he has lost out on is a father figure, because his didn't stick around. But that could have happen at any time, I suppose. But given the choice, before getting pregnant, "Have a baby now, or within ten years?" - I would have picked the latter. But as I said, I would not change things now for adjectives the money in the world.
(Woah I did NOT realise how much I'd written until I posted it! Sorry about that! I do tend to ramble!)
I was 27 when I got pregnant. It was a suitable time for me because it was important for me to wait until I be married. I got married when I was 26.
