Answer 3

I was 17, and not one bit! Even though it was not planned and was a surprise, it was a wonderful one! It did help me mature and learn what life was truly about much sooner, and in my opinion it's not about your age. It's about your maturity level, your patience, and love you have to give to a child!

Answer 4

I was nearly 22 years old and have no regrets at all. It has been hard but she is my world and I would never be without her

Answer 9

I was 22 years old.  I do not regret having my son, he made many things better in my life and I love him (and my 2 daughters) more than anything in the world..

Answer 10

I was 21 & no I do not regret it at all..

Answer 11

We were 21 with our first and 24 with our second.

I don't regret it one bit because...my husband and I will still be young when they grow up but mature enough to realize what a great time we can continue to have with our lives when it's just the 2 of us!!

Answer 12

After 6 years of marriage, I had twins at age 29. That was great, and my family was complete, then our boy comes along when I was 39. That was a shock, and a very difficult pregnancy and delivery, but he was a joy to have around after we retired.

We tried to have our first earlier, and our generations are spread out so far I probably will not see my great-grandchildren, but I am grateful for the six years alone with my husband. Now we're alone again.

Answer 13

I am 38 and pregnant with my first.  If I had it to do over, I might have started a year or two earlier, but generally I am happy to be having a child at this time in my life.  I really feel like I have gotten to do so many wonderful things, and now I am ready to be the best mom I can be.

Answer 14

NOT A WISE IDEA TO HAVE A CHILD IN YOUR TEENS!!! thats just my opinion. It's not gonna be like a Juno, not every teen gives up their child for adoption to a rich white family, they keep them and are not fit parents and raise some dumb as$ kids (NOT ALL OF COURSE) I live in the hood for 21 years, sue me.

Answer 15

i was 17 and i don't regret it, i didn't have a choice in the getting pregnant since i was raped, but i kept him because i felt like i owed it to him for whatever reason. he's 5 now and is the best child in my family

Answer 16

17 --   Wait -- don't do it . wait til you are married at least 5 yrs so you know if you have a good husband and father. W/ a Good job.  You may think you can do it but if you are young theres a lot to learn out here.  if you have a child too young one day you may wish you had waited when you can't or don't know how to provide or be the proper parent to you child. not only will you hit hard times but that little life you brought into the world will too.---- They are a lot of responsibilty. you will want/should be the best you can be in this area.  //// Listen to Courtney B

Answer 17

I was 23. I wouldn't ever regret having my daughter, she is the light of my life...I just wish I would have had enough sense to have picked a better father for her.

Answer 18

I was 30. I didn't regret it either.

Answer 19

Why................ did u have a kid at a younge age cuz i can tell you one thing you started your life wronge

Answer 20

19 at the time yes  but had pnd .... now 25 years on not a chance she,s a lovely girl

Answer 21

I was 30 when I had my first child, and 33 with my second.  I don't regret anything, although I sometimes think I should have started a little earlier.  If I had my first child at 28, I think I might have had one more child.  Now I just feel like I'm getting too old!!!!

Answer 22

25 and no

Answer 23

I had turned 18, 2 weeks and 2 days before she was born. It was one of the best decisions of my life. I would go back and do it the same a billion times if given the chance. No regrets at all here.

Answer 24

I was 18 when I had my daughter. I don't regret her, but if I could have done it all over and still have the same knowledge, and have the EXACT same child at 28. Then that would have been good.

But I love her very much and don't regret her or her two siblings.

Answer 25

I was 2 months shy of being 18 when I had my first daughter,4 months away from turning 21 when I had my second daughter and now currently 7 months pregnant and this baby is due 1 moth before my bday. and nope I don't regret one minute of it!

Answer 26

I was twenty-six. I do not regret it, I had graduated from college, gotten married and started my own business. I was at a great time in my life and my son made it even better.

I will never regret having any of my children.

Answer 27

I was 18, and most definitely YES! I would never want my daughter to have a baby at that age. Once you have a child your life isn't about you anymore. I love my son, but I wish I could be enjoying college like all my friends.

Answer 28

I just turned 21 with my first and 23 with my second.  I do not regret having them at that age at all.  Although I wish I would have been married and had a better man in my life.  But we had been together for 5 years before our first.  So..... I guess no regrets here!

Answer 29

I was 18 when I got pregnant with my daughter, 19 when I had her and I am 20 now. My husband and I planned our pregnancy and could not be happier. I knew for a long time that I wanted to have children at a young age because I have always had that "mothering" quality about me. Young mothers are active enough to do fun, energetic things with their children and not condemn them to the indoors. I have made myself very knowledgeable with pregnancy and trying to conceive because it interests me to a point where I am somewhat obsessed. Having my daughter inspired me to move along with my life and better myself in so many ways i would have never done without her. I started school where I am now working on my masters and I am able to stay at home with her while my husbands works at an amazing job he would have never perused without our little bundle.  We are currently TTC our number 2 hoping to have a little prince and baby dust to all of you moms that are TTC!!!
