I am curious as to what other people think is too young to have a baby?

Question

I had my first at 21 and am now expecting number 3 i lost the second one to a miscarriage and im now 25

Answer 1

I think everyone should wait until they are married to TRY to have children.  So if you are 18, married, financially stable, have health insurance...then why not?  Most people are not ready, or married at 18 though.  I don't believe in the "no s*x before marriage" thing.  But when you WANT to have kids, you should get married.

Answer 2

I think you are too young to have a baby if you are too young to work and pay your own way. That doesn't mean you have to work or pay your own way, I just think you should be old enough to do so, or take care of yourself.  

Answer 3

hey k1tt3n that makes no sense you dont beilieve in wating till marriage for s*x but you do believe in waiting till you get married to have kids do you know that s*x results in pregnancy and you can use all the protection in the world and it still could happen it happened to me and i have never been married nor do i ever plan on being married and i know all kids of single parents are bad right well my daughter is the smartest in her class they wanted her to skip a grade and she is the best behaved at all the kids i have seen in her class and if her dad was wround she would be none of things  

Answer 4

I think as long as your responsible. and your financially and emotionally stable and of the legal age.  

Answer 5

i had my first at 17 just turned so i was 16 and pregnant i think 25 is a good mature age to start i had my 4th at 25 im no 35 and pregnant for the 8th time 7 th bub due to a loss even though i was young i dont reget it for a minute  

Answer 6

Anything under 18 or  any age that a women is not either secure financially and emotionally.

Answer 7

I think if your life is in order with you and a responsible mate have a good relationship then you should be mature enough to have kids.  But now a days teenagers think having a baby is fun and you get these ones at 12 -15 thinking oh mommy will take care of it.  Even if its you by yourself pregnant and your responsible I would think anything after 20 would be okay anything younger than that very immature.   But as they say wisdom doesnt come with age it comes with experience and I should know that I had to grow up fast @ 15.

Answer 8

I read somewhere, human females are biologically at their best to have babies at 16-17 but then humans didn't used to live much beyond their forties.

From a practical point of view I would say early -mid-twenties nowadays.

Answer 9

It's different for everyone, but I'd say 18/19.

I had my first at 21 which was just right for me.

I'm now 28 and planning number 4.

Answer 10

Most people around me think I was too young when I had my 1st right after turning 19. We lived on our own, had jobs, still went to college, no help from anyone else and made out just fine so I don't see what the problem is. If your emoitionally, financially and physically able to support a family then whenever it's best for you.

Answer 11

I told my daughter 30 is the perfect age.  She's 6 and asking about having a boyfriend!  But I think a good age would be 21.  I had mine at 20 and now im 26 and having #2.  But anything below 18 is just not right to me!

Answer 12

i was 16 when i first got pregnant, but had an abortion (yes i know, boo to abortions. this isn't a debate im just answering her question!) because at that time i didn't have a job, i didn't have a stable place to be living, and i just all around was not ready.

im now 18 and am expecting my baby boy to be here (this is with the same guy that i have been with since i was 15- he is now 20 years old) in just a couple of weeks! now that im 18 and am stable in plenty of aspects of life i feel more than ready to be a mom.

but i knew when i was 16 that it wasn't time yet..

some people are different.. but i know i wouldn't be able to have a child, a job, and go to school at the age of 16!

Answer 13

I think if you are emotionally, financially stable and can provide all the necessities to a healthy life then thats when you should consider adding a baby to your family.  I dont think age is important- although i think you should finish your schooling so you can have that for yourself and help you in gaining better job prospects to provide these necessities for your baby.
