Answer 16

I was 29. I had a degree, a career, had travelled the world, and I was married. We didn't have our own place because we were moving from NZ to the UK at the time, but we had our own place by the time the baby was born. We didn't have money put aside.

Answer 17

I'm 34, married 11 yrs, never wanted kids, had hysterectomy @ 28yo. Part of the reason we are still married is we DIDN'T have kids-puts serious strain on relationship.  

Answer 18

I was 20 when I conceived and 21 when I gave birth

I gained 8 GCSE's, food hygiene, first aid

I was working in a nursing home and sadly got layed off when i was pregnant

No. I lived with my mum.

I had a little bit but not much (About £100)

No. I was and still am engaged

Answer 19

1) 23

2) Nothing third level, few additional courses after secondary school though.

3) Not a career, but a just above the minimum wage job, thankfully my employers have given me lots of support and I returned on a part time basis when she turned six months

4) No, rented accommodation only I'm afraid.

5) I did have money put aside, I had started saving for a mortgage, it went on baby stuff, it wasn't a lot, only a few thousand.  None of it left now though.

6) Not only not married, but when I was pregnant her Daddy was no where to be seen, he has come out of the woodwork since her birth though, he sees her for a couple of hours a week and to be honest it's a major relief for me, even if all I do is go and get the weeks groceries.  We're not in a relationship now either.
