Sounds like your doing great financially!! (Congrats to you on that). I would say go for it, except the whole school thing! If yourplanning on going to school and have a baby, that will be really hard!! I would say "one or the other". Not to be mean! But if i were you I would go for it(the baby)! Im 20, and me & my husband make about 1/2 as you & your husband do and we want a baby, but there is no way we can afford it right now! Anyways, good luck in whatever you do!!!!

I think that you are still young. You aren't even legal yet. Are you sure this is what you want? Having a baby is a big responsibility. It's a 24 hour a day job. It sounds like you are financially stable but are you emotionally and physically ready to have a baby? If you are sure you are 100% ready then go for it. It's your body, your life and your decision. Every female wants a baby at some time in their lives some females just want a baby earlier. You sound like your life is going well for you. Even though you are young if you really want a baby then have one. There is nothing more precious than creating a baby and giving birth to him or her. Good luck.

If you're still trying to establish a career, then you might want to hold off on having a baby. 20 is young, so you have plenty of time. It will be way more difficult to go to school for acting and move to LA if you have a baby... also going for auditions, etc. If you move to LA, then your man will need to get another job when you move there... that's all instability which will just add to the stress of having a new baby. You want to be able to enjoy the baby completely and not worry about where the money is going to come from, and whether you're throwing away your dreams.

i am 22 married and have a steady job, but we did not get married until this past june. having a baby will change your life. you need to ask yourself some questions like when i turn 21 will i want to have to worry about having a baby sitter for that night or would you feel alright with that. just put some thought into it you have atleast 10 yrs to think about it.

Go to school, you will reget not doing it. Also get married first. Hate to say it, but so many bf gf's have babies before marriage and the relationship never lasts and the baby ends up in a broke home.

Maybe you should finish school. It might be hard going to school and raising a baby.
