Im 23, he's 24.
We are gettin our own place soon.... we make enough to support a baby. But I dont think Im really ready yet. Is 24 a good age to start a family???
I told him I want more time without a baby, Im not really ready to grow up yet! I love to party and such!
I told him we at least get one more vacation just the two of us then we will try. I dont know though. I was aiming for about the age of 27 or so.....
I do want him to be the father of my child and all. But maybe not just yet.......

If you're not ready, then wait because you have plenty of time. I bet in the next year or two you'll start wanting a baby, too. That's what happened to me. All of a sudden around age 24 I started getting "the urge" to have children. We weren't married yet, so of course we waited, but I wanted a baby in the worst way! Before that I was a crazy party girl and thought I would never have kids. It came on just like that. I was 26 when we got married and I'm not pregnant at 27 years old. Just tell your hubby to give you a little more time.

I had my first child at 24, but I felt I was ready. If you don't think you are ready yet, then you should wait. It will change your life. Whether it is for the better or not will depend on you. I couldn't wait to have my first child, but if you still want to party and such, then you are not ready and you should wait. When you have a child, you have to be the grown up whether you want to or not. I had my second child at 28, and it was a pretty good age to have a baby too. So if you wait, it won't be too late.

If you have to second guess yourself you are surely not ready. If you love this man, let him know how you feel. Have you even spoken to him about this yet? 23 is young to start a family. Have you settled into careers yet? Making money is fine and dandy, but are these careers for the long term? Or do you have future plans for other projects. This affects the conditions you surround yourself in and your child. Hell, you still want to "party". Some couples have babies to fill a void. Dont let this be you. Talk this out together.

Well are you married? YOu should be if you want to have a baby. You sound young and that's ok because you are at 23. I strongly suggest waiting until you're married and ready. It's a HUGE responsibility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kids are wonderful but they're tons of work! It's completely a 24 hour job. You'll be so busy that you will be so grateful to get to take a shower. I'm totally serious, just wait and be ready.

If you're not ready, then don't do it.....explain to him that you prefer to wait a few more years before having a baby....lots of couples take the time to be with each other before adding a kid to the mix....27 is a great age to start having kids, once you're mentally ready.

You're really young still and it sounds like you're not ready. Parenthood is something you should go into when you feel totally ready to commit to it. I think you should wait.

well you ARE the one who will carry it, not him. my friend and her fiancee got a dog to test the waters, because if you can take care of a dog you can take care of a child
