Is 19 too young to want to have a baby?

Question

Is 19 too young to want to have a baby?

Answer 1

Well, there is something wrong with your family if they are telling you that you shouldn't ever have a baby. There is no need to rush and honestly I don't recommend that you have a baby just yet. Although you've been married for 1 year already you guys need time to get used to each other and enjoy one another. I had a baby at 19 and I don't regret having her but if I had known what I know today, I would have waited. Even though you are an adult you still have some more growing and learning to do. It is never a good idea for newlyweds to have kids. It's better to wait a few years, enjoy each other, have fun, go out, etc.



I say wait a minimum of three years. My sister got married in 1999 and didn't have her first kid until 2004. I can tell you that they had lots of fun, went lots of places and are now ready to be focused on their kids.



There is no need to rush. Enjoy your marriage first, then add the baby. A baby takes away a lot of your attention and EVERYTHING changes.



Good luck!

Well let me put it this way now matter how old or young you are, nothing can fully prepare you for motherhood and the struggles you'll face. I had my first at 19 and it happened at a bad time, because me and his father were in the midst of splitting up. But now he is 19 months old and healthy and happy as ever! The only problem is his father hasn't helped me financially and only sees him on the weekends. Luckily now I'm engaged and my fiance helps me out tons with my son. So good luck to you!

Answer 4

if you're married and you feel you are financially stable enough to care for a child, why not? the only reason why it's not normal for people that young to have children is because they usually aren't married and aren't able to support themselves let alone a child. Good luck on your decision!

Answer 5

No, it's your life to throw away.

Answer 6

Yes!!! Way too young. Do not listen to other young mothers who tell you it is a good idea. When you ladies hit your early twenties you will definitely feel the limitations of having a child.

Answer 7

No, you are not too young. If you are married that's even better! I have a son, and I am glad I have him. I am 19 as well. Best of luck, hope this helps.

Answer 8

I wouldn't say you are too young, but what is the hurry? Realize that once you have a child you are giving up much of your freedom for the next hmmmm....18 to 23 years. Maybe give yourselves time to be newlyweds and enjoy life a bit.

Answer 9

I'm 19 and 3 months pregnant. I'm not married, but i am engaged. I think that if you want to have a baby, that you should definately go for it. You are NOT too young!! Anyone on here who said that you are, are stupid. You are out of high school, in the sanctity of marriage, and if it is what you want, than you should go for it. However, don't let his family or your family help decide this choice. To have a child is a decision that should be made between you and your hubby. And don't listen to the girl who said you'd be throwing your life away. She's either never had a child, or is a terrible mother if she thinks having a baby is throwing your life away. Babies are precious gifts, and not everyone can concieve a child, so you should go for it. And if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here:) It's always nice to have someone to talk to that's going through what you're going through:) Good luck hunny

Answer 10

As long as you can afford the baby is the real question. If you can without assistance then go for it.
