Answer 2

I fell pregnant at 19 with my first daughter.. my bf and i worked as chefs....... she wasnt planned but we managed to stay financially stable with a mortgage, car and our annual holiday.. not bad for a 20 year old eh? Now pregnant with number 3 aged 28, not married but happy in a steady relationship, maybe one day he will propose!

Answer 3

I was married, in a stable job, financially secure and 29.

I am pleased I didn't have my baby earlier.  I have travelled and partied my way into my late 20's, and I was emotionally ready to settle down and dedicate the next years of my life to raising my child.

Answer 4

my 1st wasnt planned, im 17 and have no problems with money. been with my partner for 4 years now so we were comfortable with it too.

i know people say how much of a bad idea it is to have children at a young age but its seriously is the best thing i have ever done with my life!! i finally feel like i have a reason to be here!!

im really glad we did it now and dont really care what people have to say about it...

Answer 5

I was 17 it was not planned, i was in a stable relationship and financially stable as well.

Answer 6

Hiya, I had my son when i was 19 he wasnt planned but i was told i couldnt have children so i didnt use any protection. I was in a stable relationship and engaged. My little boy is nearly 4 now and me and his dad are married. We not what you call posh but we make sure that our son has everything he needs.

Answer 7

I'm due my first, I'm 28, not married - because I don't believe in marriage though my partner and I live together, and have been working on my career since I was 18 - just finishing a masters degree work have sponsored me to do.

Answer 8

I had my first when i was 16, It was not planned and i was not married but me and my partner moved in together as soon as we could and we have been together ever since. We are now married and have been for 3 years and i am 21 years old due to have our 3rd baby in 2 weeks. People may judge us for being so young and having our 3rd child on the way, But whats it got to do with them? At the end of the day our children are well taken care of and we are happy with our life. Every one else can just get lost.

Answer 9

My first child was born on my 21st birthday, twenty eight years ago. I had been married for 3 years and he was planned. If you wait until you are financially stable you will never have children.

Answer 10

I planned to marry at 19 and have my first child at 21, just like my mum and grandma... but I'm already 20 and still not married, so I guess that went out of the window!  I'm engaged though, I think I'll be married at 22 and have my first child at about 25, I've decided I want to stay just married for a while before adding children to the equation.  

My uncle always said he'd have kids when he had enough money, and he's 48, I asked him about it recently and he said he just kept on putting it off and now he reckons its too late.  I don't want to end up doing that.

Answer 11

i was a month off being 23 and it wasn`t planned, we have since had more children andi would say as i didn`t have a good career i don`t think it was a wrong time for us, i am pregnant again andreally do notice the difference with being older ,i fele that i don`t feel as fit as i was back then.. it makes a difference to me anyway  i think you need to decide with whats right with you as once your abby comes along your life will revolve around that child ..

you mention around 25,.,i have told my oldest daughter this is th eage which i`d like her to be before having children as i am hoping on her having a good career too and don`t really want her having babies too young..

Answer 12

I had my first child when I was 22 years old. He was planned. My partner and I still aren't married yet, but that's never affected how we raise our 2 children or how much they're both loved

Answer 13

I want one before I'm 30 but only if I have a partner and am financially secure.  Although if I got pregnant by accident I'd still be grateful for it and love him/her.

Answer 14

Answer 15
