Question

Answer 1

Are you married? Do you have insurance? Do you have a home for a child? Are you prepared to give up all you have to give up for a child? If the answer to any of these questions is NO then you are not ready.

Answer 2

I Want A Baby At 19

Answer 3

It's not too young to WANT a baby, but in my opinion, it is too young to HAVE a baby. Just because you want something doesn't mean that you should get it right now. Wait a while, go to school, socialize, travel a little bit...do all of the things that would be a hundred times harder to do if you already had a baby.

It is really very normal to want a baby, no matter the age. Women are born with maternal instincts and very powerful hormones that make us want children. Those same instincts and hormones will be around in 5 years though, so there is nothing wrong with waiting just a little while longer.

Answer 4

It is never too young to have a desire for a child. They are a wonderful addition to your life.

However, they are also a bigger responsibility and burden that anything you have likely experienced before. Most people cannot even comprehend the magnitude of the responsibility until they actually have a child.

People certainly do take this challenge on at 19, but you have to have your life well in hand. This would include not only the basics of making a living and providing for the child, but having the patience and wisdom to teach the child and treat it well, even when you are at the end of your rope.

Not knowing anything about your life, I cannot say whether or not it is a good idea for you personally. Only you can be the judge of that.

Answer 5

As long as you truly understand all the responsibilities that come with "raising a person" [it's only a baby for about 18 months] -- then 19 is not too young. Raising a person takes patience, money, maturity, love, understanding and sooo much more. Talk to your parents, watch moms with their kids at the mall or restaurant. The more you know and understand, the better a decision you can make. It's a very big decision so do your homework. Best of luck to you.

Answer 6

I think it is normal as a woman to want to have children, or be a mother at any age! The real question is "are you ready?"...physically, mentally, emotionally...are you married, are you financially stable???? At 19 as long as you are healthy & not too overweight then your boby could more than likely handle a pregnancy. However the rest of those questions I asked are just as equally important! Believe it or not there are right & wrong reasons to have a child, whether you do it for the right or wrong reasons will not necisarily affect the kind of mother you are, but it can make things easier, because being a mother & a good one at that requires a commitment to hard work, SACRIFICE, being unselfish, lots & lots of patience & then more patience & love. Wanting a child & being ready are totally different... Trust me you will know when you are ready! Use this time right now to learn to be the kind of mom & woman you want to be & to find the right guy, its more than worth the wait!

Answer 7

It's not too young to want one, but in my opinion, it's too young to have one. I got married at 19 and had my 1st baby at 20. If I had it to do over again, I would have waited til we were more stable financially and in our marriage.
It is normal for any female to want a baby. Hey they're cute right? And we all want someone to love us unconditionally, but there will be a better time for that later. If you don't have a stable person your life, take this time to find a MAN that loves you fully and completely. Then the baby will fit into place later.

Answer 8

personnally i think 19 is too young to have a baby but there is nothing wrong with wanting it. it takes more than just wanting a baby to have a baby, it needs a lota loving mother and father, a good home, security. the big question here is do u have what it takes to have a baby? just take ur time you still young and have a lot to learn wait for 25

Answer 9

I just turned 23 and am 7 months pregnant with my second i was pregnant with my first at 19 and turned 20 a month after she was born, and i would honestly tell you to wait, you don't want to miss out on life to soon, you still have a long time to get pregnant don't rush it. also its not as much fun when you are struggling make sure you are a little ahead financially or at least secure. be patient- you only live once, and having a child is not something you can take back.

Answer 10

I personally dont think so. I had my first child at 19. You just have to be fully prepared to put your whole life on hold to care for someone else for the next 20 yrs. I love my kids and wouldnt have it any other way. Although I do wish I'd been financially stable first. If you are really ready then go ahead. If not just wait. I suggest talking to someone that has kids to help you figure out if your ready for everything that comes with having kids.

Answer 11

no i dont think that 19 is too young, i just wonder how stable you really are at that age, i remember at 19 i was still driving around blowing money on things i didn't need. i dint become super responsible with my money and calm down until i got pregnant at 20, not much older than 19 but still old enough to know its time to be a grown up. my advice would be to make sure you are ready and able to give your child everything it needs and deserves and make sure you are ready to give up you adolescence to be a mom.
