I sure hope not! I'm 21 and pregnant with number 2. If you're emotionally and financially responsible at 21 to become a parent, then it's not too young. When I think of too young I think of a 15 year old still in high school that can't even get a job because they're not old enough... not a self sufficient young adult in their early twenties :)

It depends on how mature you are and how stable your life is. If you some party girl who lives at home and works " sometimes " only to blow all her paycheck on clothes and the club then yeah your too young. But you seem to have things in order and seem to be mature enough. I was 19 when i had my first and 23 when i had my second. And I'm married and things are just fine. And JAM I dont agree with you at all. There is no time in your life where your meant to have fun and not be married or have kids. If you live that type of life then your not meant to have children unless you plan on changing the way you live and are ready for something as serious as starting a family and / or getting married. Just because your 21 and old enough to drink,doesnt mean that that's what your supposed to do. Millions of people don't live that way just because they are in their early 20's. Then again there's tons of people that do believe that way. It just depends on the person.

Well I think 21 is the perfect age physically, but not always mentally. If you are happy in your relationship and somewhat financially ok then maybe. The truth of the matter is that there is an underground baby world mothers do not talk about!!!!
Having a baby is like going into surgery without going to medical school, you are never prepared and basically you start a new life once the baby comes. Forget your current life it is over..... in a good and sometime very, very challenging way. A lot to consider, but my best piece of advice is how will your fiance be as a father and caretaker? That is what will only matter when the baby comes, because that is the rest of your life.

I had my first child at 21. I got married at 18. My husband & I now have 3 chlidren and been married for 13yrs.
I don't think anyone is ready to become a mom or dad. I heard "Dr Phil" say that is everyone waited till they were ready to have children no would have kids. lol
At the time I had my first chld my husband had a good solid job, we had our own home and I was a stay at home mom. I've always been blessed to be able to stay home and care for my children.
It sounds like you are in collage so you'd have to have some kind of good child care. But if you are expecting now there is really nothing you can do about it. ; )
Good luck

I don't think it has anything to do with the number. There are people in their forties who are too young to be parents. It's all about maturity and responsibility. I had my first baby at 21, but I was married, graduated from college, had a stable job, and owned a house. My husband and I made the decision at that time to have a baby. I think 21 is too young if you aren't fully prepared for the responsibility of raising a child.

Age doesnt really have much to do with being pregnant...unless were talking super young, which you arnt!
To me you sound like you have your life sort of together... more so then a lot of females who get pregnant! But, It all depends on you girly...how ready you feel! You'll know in your heart if your ready to be a mommy!!
Best of luck

I was 18 when I had my first and now I am 20 and I think I am prego too! It is not too young unless you think it is. Don't let anyone scare you into thinking that you are too young. You are ready when YOU are ready not when everyone else is!

I never met anyone that wait to have children, and got married, travel, and learn to be married, regret not waiting to have children
Life happens, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad
A child is always good, timing may not be prefect
If you are pregnant enjoy your child
If you are not pregnant, think about waiting a few years, and enjoy being Young and in love

No, you're not too young to be pregnant, if you are, I must be too! I'm 22. You're perfectly able to provide for yourself and your baby. I consider people who are too young to be pregnant girls who are unable to have a job that can provide for them and the baby, and they're unable to drive legally. Usually teens if you know what I mean.
