I’m going to the DR soon to see if I’m pregnant as I’m 2 weeks late with my period (even thought my pregnancy test said negative) I’m 19 (soon to be 20), my partner is 23.. Is this to young to be having children?
I feel as though I’m at a point that I don’t mind one way or the other because we are both in full time well paying employment.. we have our own house and cars and etc.. just wanted to see what other people thought…?

this is young, but it sounds like both of you are mature and settled in with life.So i would say that if you are you will do fine, most people your age is still at home working and partying not as settled as you all are. Goodie Luck!

My boyfriend and I are both 19, and I,too, have an unexpected pregnancy. I'm 23weeks and 6 days. We have also been together for three years, and plan to marry, but not just yet. We don't want to necessarily rush marriage since we have an unplanned pregnancy.
But anyhow, I don't think it's too young to have a child, as long as you really feel that you are ready emotionally, mentally, financially.
There are also girls out there getting pregnant at 14,15,16, etc. So, I think you're in the clear =].
If you are pregnant, I wish you both the best of luck. =] & congrats.

It does not matter what anyone thinks, it's what you think that is important! I got pregnant on the day I turned 19, it was unplanned, but not unwanted, just earlier! Just as in your case. My boyfriend was also 23 at the time and we were together for 3 years prior to that! Girl we sound like twins! lol, we love our son and we are still together, you sound like your life is in the right track, just having a baby does change your life.....for the better believe it or not. Its so rewarding and if you are pregnant, congrats!! It's a blessing!

whoah you sound alot like me.
im 19 going on 20 in august and my husband is 23. We just got married in feb. after i found out i was pregnant. We had planned for this late september but we both thought it would be wierd to have our own kid at our weding so we pushed it up! At first i thought hard about it thinking, was i too young. my parents at first were thinking i was as well as everyone else who comes across me but what it all comes down to is how happy it makes you!? I dont think there is ever a real time your ready... if you believe your mature enough, and both have good paying jobs as me and my husband do to with a family buis. on the side then dont worry about anything!!! Im now 14 1/2 wks. pregnant and happier than all hell...... if you are pregnant then congrats and good luck to you!

You're smart enough to be thinking about the right things. That tells me that you're mature enough to be ready. If you really aren't sure, and the doc says you are not pregnant, are you going to start using protection? Because the answer to that will tell you the answer that's hiding in the depths of your mind. You know deep down if you are ready or not. You just have to coax the answer out in the open.
One more thing- Are you emotionally and financially prepared for the possibility that things won't go textbook perfectly: you could have a minor complication that puts you on bedrest, so that you have to quit your job, or your bf may not be as prepared as you are, or twins could throw your plans off. Being ready for pregnancy doesn't always just mean being ready for what is supposed to happen. You have to be prepared to expect the unexpected.

From the way you've described your life situation, I don't think your too young but you might want to wait a little while and enjoy life more! I had my son at 19 but at the time I wasn't stable and it was a mess. I don't regret my son but I did miss out on a lot because I was home with my baby.

I was 19 when I got pregnant and 20 when I had my first baby...she'll be 18 next month...I am so glad I got my kids out of the way, I own my own business and I don't have anymore patience left...and I feel so worn out all the time. If your mature enough, like i was...go for it..
