Its entirely up to you, no one else can make the decision for ya..
I can say though, that me and my girl are 25/26 and we have a 4 1/2 year old and now another on the way. It is hard work, but would be at any age... just depends how much you value your free time and your sleep!

I am 21 and 35 weeks pregnant (and loving it!)
I am a very maternal person and so is my fiance and we can't wait to be parents.
The only advice I can offer you is to think about it, It is a pretty big thing to do, You will be bringing a wonderful little baby into this world and it is a big responsibility, a child FOR LIFE and can prove to be costly too! You will know if you want babies, just don't rush in to anything that you are not ready for or sure of!

I don't think 23 is young to have kids my grandma had my mom at 16 by mistake and my mom had me when she was 26.If you think you are young you can wait a while maby your partner can have a baby at 26 or 27 like my mom maby in her 30s or maby you and your partner can go to a counselor or therapist and talk it threw and see if they have any advice.It is hard to be parents all the responsibility's and not to mention lots and lots of bills and having to have a job to get food and clothes and what so ever for your kids.If you think 23 is young to have a kid try having one at 16 like my grandma did accidentally now thats young.

I don't think you are to young. How old is your partner? But the important question is are you ready for the responsability that comes with a baby? First ask your self that question, if the answer is "yes" go for it. My husband and I are thinking about having a baby soon we are 23/21, so it all depends if you feel raedy. It is also important for both of you to agree.

Well I don't think it is TOO young but there really shouldn't be any hurry. Are YOU ready? Can you provide a stable environment? Financially stable? Why children and not marriage? Have you both done everything you wanted to do? Travel, school, etc? I am 27 and my husband and I are still going to wait a couple more years so we will be at least somewhat prepared. I wanted to travel and do and see things before I settled and I did but now that I am married we still want to do a few things together. It really isn't worth rushing.

I'm 19 and I've NEVER regretted having my son, I would do anything to support him if needed. Luckily I don't have to.. make sure you both want children, but I think 23 is a perfect age to start a family... the longer you wait the higher chance of complications. Just know pregnancy can be stressful on the mother (if the father is not supportive) and vice versa... but it's definately worth it.

I think it is totally ok to have a child in this age. You may find in 10 years you are single or married again, since young marriages often don't work for long, but to be a mother of a 10 yr old 10 years from now will be a blessing in your life.

There isn't a set age to have children. If you are ready at 23 then its not to young. But if you are a partier and not ready to settle down, maybe you should wait a little longer. My friend is only 20 and has been trying for 1.5 years to get pregnant, so like I said it all depends on your maturity.

Don't have a baby unless you're BOTH sure that you want them and can provide for them. 23 isn't too young necessarily, but it's best to get married first and then think about starting a family.

You'll know when your ready, having a child can dramatically change your life. Please make sure you are who you need to be in your life before you have a child (career and emotionally). Children require your love and attention constantly. Having a child requires you to sacrifice your time, money and even can be emotionally draining. The rewards of having children are splendid. I think having children is based on maturity level. Only you can answer this question. GOOD LUCK
