That sucks, now you'll never be rich. Becasue now you have something that will be dependent on you. So no more big risk to make big money.

I was 21 when I got pregnant for the first time, 22 when I had her. I am now 26 and my third child is due in march.
If you are already pregnant just tell them 'Too late', anyway, I don't know what the big difference is between 21 and 25. It depends on your situation. But you will be fine, don't worry about what others think, that's no way to go through life. If you feel it is the right time to have a baby, no one should try to change your mind!

To late to worry about that now. How do you feel about becoming a parent at this stage in your life? If you are ready and feel confident than don't worry about others why does 25 have to be a magic number of maturity for giving birth. I know plenty of 30 year olds who are not fit and young women who really rise to the occasion. Congrats and enjoy your pregnancy and the baby time flies and in a few years the difference between 21 and 25 will feel like nothing.

I am 21 as well getting ready for my first baby. I have also been married for 2 years. I dont think you are to young. Its all about what you feel. I have been with my husband for 5 years and married the past two and we felt that we were ready for a baby. Now I am 36 weeks pregnant and couldnt be happier. You shouldnt go by what other people say, its about how you feel!

I'm 21, and I have an 8 month old son. I was 20 when I had him, and 19 when I found out I was pregnant. I'm planning on marrying his daddy next year, maybe in September. Then we'd like to start trying for number two.
Everyone will tell you something different about what the best age it, but really, there is no 'best age.' What's good for one mommy isn't necesarily good for another, but people all seem to think that whatever way they did it was best.
Just try to ignore those rude,negative things.

I am also 21 and I have a 18 month old. I was 18 when I got pregnant with her. I was scared about being pregnant too and if people would think I was too young. But if you are willing to have your baby and try the best you can to raise him/her, then it is always a right time for you. Don't worry about what other people think. Just care for your baby the best you can. That's all that really matters. Also, don't worry about the old ladies who stare at you or try to give you advice bc they think you are too young. I get looks from them ALL the time. It drives me nuts. Just smile and wave and if they try to give you advice I always just say "thanks I'll have to try that sometime"...and then walk quickly away.
Nothing about you or your baby is bad...don't ever let anyone make you think that. Good luck to you and your little one...I wish you the best.

It is up to no one but you and the man you plan to have the baby with. As long as you feel you are mentally ready and financially ready, there should be no reason you should wait just becuase of your age.
I plan to have my first right out of college, I'll be about 21 or 22. I see no problem with it. It's what you want and no one can make the choice to have a child but you.

I was 16 when i had my first-18 with my 2nd-and i am 20 now-ive been married for 4 yrs - the only way it would be bad is if you were 21 and a bad mom--and you sound worried already(you get that down quick) so if i were you i wouldnt worry about age --just about you and your babys health.... good luck to you!

If that makes you happy, then why not? There is no command in the Bible, or in the government law that you should not have a baby at the age of 21 or younger. There are others younger than you are that is having a baby. I have a friend who was 16 when she first gave birth :) and she never regreted about it because it her decision and she's happy. So why worry? be happy :)

Girl, when i was 21, i had a two year old son. it was the most wonderful time in my life. You should not listen to what other people have to say. they need to mind their own business. i loved having a baby so young because we got to "grow up" together and mature together.although is was difficult at times, it was fun. now, he is 14 and my best friend. i would not change it for the world.

There's not really a magic age, I don't think you can actually mature to be a parent if you weren't first raised with that maturity, at least, not without some fundamental restructuring to one's mentality. However, if you were first raised with that maturity, then the only thing that should dispose you to wait to have a baby would be your financial situation. My mother was first pregnant at 23 and they did fine.
