No, I don't think you are too young. It is legal to have a baby at your age and since both you and your partner want one then I think it is the perfect time for you to have a baby. There's no such thing as the right age to have a baby, but at your age it sounds good. But one thing you do have to worry about is if you have enough money to support the baby. In my opinion though, if you both want a baby you should have one. Good luck with trying to conceive, I'm sure you'll be a great mother!

I think the only reason you are too young is because you are still in high school right now and still living with mom and dad.
Right now if you had a kid, it would be really hard to do school, and take care of a kid. And possibly have a part time job.
Wait til you are out of your mom's house, and wait til you are out of high school.
It's cool that you have been with your bf for 3 yrs and you are still in love with him. I know how it is to want a baby really really bad. They are so cute and little and cuddly. But they are also a huge responsability and they cost a lot of money. Formula alone costs hundreds of dollars a month. Diapers cost lots. A cribs is hudreds of dollars. Clothes are expensive, etc, etc.
Someday soon, you will graduate and you will be living with your bf, then you can decide together whether you can afford a baby, but til then, use protection and don't get pregnant.

Yes, wait until you are out of high school. Having a baby is very difficult even under the best of circumstances. I had my first at 19 and I was still too young. A lot of girls have this feeling, just wait it out. Also, go take care of a 3 month old baby for a couple days, it might just change your mind.

once you are ABLE to see beyond what you HAVE TO DO when that baby BECOMES a toddler, then a child, then a teenager, then you are not too young.
once you are ABLE to picture that baby grows into a person like you and your partner, then you're not too young.
baby is cute, almost everyone would love to have one. but a lot of girls forgot, baby grows up. one day, although she/he keeps her/his beauty, she/he won't be as cute as a baby any more. re-think it over, ok. you've got a life ahead of you. you're not even on legal age to go see a cool concert as yet, without being chaperoned. how about going out partying? and hey, earning money so you can spend it on lots of things is fun!! a baby's going to change all that, unless you already have the grip of how your life goes on (and this usually comes easier when you've been around this planet much longer...)

the age to have a baby is when u r mentally/financially&socially prepared to have baby. IF u feel that can have the baby , give ur child the daily needs, love care then go ahead.
One thing more just making a baby , giving birth is just the first step , You need to plan everything for the little one.......so are u ready?
I go with the third answer

DON'T DO IT!! I had my first child at 20 and I was married. It was okay for a while until he became a jerk and I left him. Trying living on your own without having a degree with a child. Not going to happen!! You may think everything is perfect but it's not. I was with my ex for 6 years. You can forget prom, new clothes, hanging out with friends and getting along with your boyfriend because things will real stressful!

Have you both graduated high school? Do you both have jobs making GOOD money to support a baby?? Are you prepared to give up college, partying, a social life? Are you prepared to stay up alnight with a sick and screaming baby??
No??
