Answer 1

I got pregnant with my son at 19 and had him when I was 20,I can say that I woulden't have traded him for nothing in this world and I'm glad I had him,he did make my life better.

Answer 2

I got married 6 months before I got preg, was with my husband for 4 years when we got married.   My husband didnt  want children, at first when I was preg I was scared my husband wouldnt be good with our child.  When I had my son he was soo happy and over protective he went into the other room with my son when they weighed him and check him out.

I have been so happy with my life since I had my son, I also found that my body took a little work to get back, it just takes walking everyday and some muscle toning, I would suggest for the tummy to do the excersizes for belly dancers.  I was a little depressed when my son turned two because he was growing up, everyone started talking about pre school, rush rush.  

We decided we wanted another child, we are preg and my son is soo attached to me and my husband.  We wouldnt change it for the world.

Some advice from an lady I worked for when I was preg with my son,  "Have your kids when you are young,  that way you can enjoy your retirement and also your grandchildren before your mind goes"

I didnt get to go to college or have an job because I stay home with my kids.  I believe that it is better for the kids to have an mother at home when they need them.  My husband makes enough money for us to buy an home, give our kids what they need and a little more.  

I miss not working once in a while, but I always tell my self when the kids are in school and dont need me 24/7 I can do more for myself.

Answer 3

I had my daughter a week after I turned 19 and my son 2 months after I turned 21. My daughter made me start my life. I got a job, saved money, started college. If it wasnt for her, I may still be living with my Mom partying every weekend like my little brother who is now 19. My body went right back after her, but with my son I still have a little tummy from no excersise and eating junk food. Its not bad though, I can still wear a bikini comfirtably.

Answer 4

I'm 23 now mother of 3 boy's . Me and my husband got maried 3 years ago. 2 of the 3 boys is out of our marige. his son is now 6 and my son is now 4. It is wonderfull to have a child in your life, my son(4) was born when i was 18 and he changed my life. It was difficult at first cause you have this tiny little bundle that depends totaly on you,but from the first movement in your belly you love that child more than you ever thought you could love someone. The first time you look at his face when he is born you will fight your hands to the bones to safe him and protect him. 2 months ago my second son is born and i love him with all my heart he brought me and my husband even closer than we were and the kids are our everything they fill our lifes in a way you cant imagine and even if the oldest of the 3 isnt my son i love him just as much. Wen they arnt here it feels so empty and something is missing. when it comes to being fat after a baby i believe you only get fat if you allow it, eating smaller portions and exirsising during and after pregnancy will insure your body stays pretty. take it from me this body  gave birth to 2 big baby's and i'm still as skinny as i was before i ever fell pregnant.So dont worry and have that bundle of joy!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

I had my first when I was 21.  I married 6 months before the baby was due.  My husband and I had only been together for a year when the baby was born.  I wish we had more time for each other.  It was hard because I wanted to go out with my friends but I wanted to be a mother not a bar hopper!  So, I took my role and went out on occasion.

I had my 2nd baby when I was 23.  

I am due again in August. I will be 25.

I am going to have 3 boys in 4 years.

Time with my husband is going to be even more limited....finding a babysitter is going to be a lot more difficult.  It's worth it though. We often go places as a family anyway.  It'll be so much fun in the years to come.  

My body went completely back to normal after my first...I was 15lbs shy of my pre-pregnancy weight between my 2nd and 3rd.

Answer 6

i am 23 and i just had a baby 11/2 months ago i am back down to my pre pregnancy weight but i am also breastfeeding and it is said that that helps weight loss and i am incredibly happy i am married and am so in love with my daughter.

Answer 7

i am 19, and i just had a baby. like one week ago! right now, i wouldnt call it fun, but i wouldnt call itlife devastating. itsjust, he was born 10 weeks early so he is in the NICU and possibly faces another 3 months their. it isn't exactly fun seeing your little boy hooked up too all kinds of wires. as of my body,it actually looks somewhat ok, compared to other women i have seen who gave birth a week ago. i was VERY petite before, and i dont know if i will ever be that small again. it would actually be good not to be though because i was underweight, pre-baby.

and yes im married!

Answer 8

well ill be 19 when my baby is born and i couldnt imagine ever saying that my baby will ruin my life. sure lookin into the near future everything seems a little harder but i cant wait to have my baby.

id say my body (during pregnancy) has handled it very well. i havent really gained alot of weight and its been a very healthy and complication free pregnancy thus far.

Answer 9

I had my daughter when I was 21 pregnant when I was 20 and got married at age 20. I have always been more of a home bound type, I wasnt into partying like my friends were, I dont even like to drink. So I feel this lifestyle fits me and I enjoy it! I am now pregnant with #2 at age 23 and I am excited! the only complaint for us is money and debt issues, My husband likes to spend money so it makes life a little harder. But I agree with what the person said above me, have them young that way you can enjoy retirement and grandkids even and still have energy! I will be 40-42 when my kids are 20 and 40's are still young now days and you will be the cool parents when they are in school.

as far as my body, sadly I got high blood pressure with my first and gained 75 lbs and only lost 30 of it :/ I didnt gain much at all with #2 and when he is born 5 weeks from now I plan on losing alot of weight!
