im sure if your parents could have had there way, your brother wouldnt have had a baby at 19, sometimes accidents happen and they had to accept the fact he was gonna have a baby... Of course the got over it, they had too, they were not gonna shun their grandchild.... As for planning a baby at 19, i agree with your parents in saying its too young, do you have a career yet, are you in a long term marriage future relationship, do you have a home of your own, do you own a car, are you matured enough to give up your friends, social life, going out when you want to etc.... having a baby isnt just fun and games, its work, expensive, and you need to be there 24/7 to care for the dependant being..

Well frankly, yes. It's too young. For most, that is anywhere from one year out of, to still in high school.
There are so many things that a 19 year old has left to experience. Your first major job, the possibility of college, the chance to live on your own...
The best idea is to wait until you are financially secure to have a child. That would be living on your own, having bills to pay, having your own car and insurance, and having a job that is paying you well enough, but also providing insurance and a viable chance to grown within the compay - so five years from now you're not making the same money (because kids get expensive with time.)
Once you are established then it would be time. And, I know thirty somethings that are still not in that position.
And, as much as I don't want to offend single mothers/fathers, it is much easier to have a child with a long term partner (I.E. husband/wife.) That way you have some assurance that the partner isn't going to change his or her mind and simply walk away (or something to the equivlant.) Also, once you've been with someone for a few years, the emotions are much stronger and hence it's much more likely that they will be there for you when you need it, and you can depend on that person to be on diaper detail when you've been up all night and simply must take an hours nap...if you know what I mean.
Don't be in such a hurry. Live a little first. Your eggs will still be there next year....

well, someone said, accidents happens...i don't believe in that! UNLESS you were wearing a condom, or taking the pill, that would be an accident...and i don't even call that an accident i think it is not a good word for it...but anyway, i was 17 when i got pregnant and had my daughter at 17! and that is because i wanted her...i don't know why, i just wanted the little girl i was dreaming of and i got her...I am a good mom today, the dad was 21 when we had her and he is a WONDERFUL dad! It is young if you are not ready, but if you are then it is good, young means more energy for your child...If you like to be with friends and party, then you should wait! someone i know is like that and she took a fit that he was a waste of her life, she can't do nothing because of him...
I think it is sad! so yes and no. People should try to think about all the options they will have or not have before they have a child and then decide if it is worth it or not!
It was worth it for me!

It's very young to have to all of a sudden be responsible for a baby. Your brain isn't even fully developed until you are 21, so at 19 there is still growing and maturing to do. It doesn't mean that a 19 years old couldn't make a good parent, but it's not the best case scenario.

I had my first child when I was 16 .... ya I was young and it was not the best scenario but a lot depends on maturity .... even though I was mature for my age I still made a lot of mistakes.... now I am old with 14 grandchildren ... we all survived and things turned out well .... It will be hard for your brother .... you sound surprised that your parents got over it when your niece came ... sweet heart .... that is there grandchild that takes priority over all doubts ....

hi,
I had my first child at 19 and i'm glad i did. I gave up the social life, but all my friends i had then, i still have now. I like being a young mum of 2 (i had my second child at 21). My mother was 34 when she had me, and she wishes she could have been younger. I'm in a lot better shape then half of the "older" women in my home town because i'm young enough to keep up with 2 kids under 3. I never planned either of my children but i was blessed with two amazing miracles!!!

Yes I had my son at 19 and it is too young. But your parents have no choice. They can't be mad forever and babies are a blessing. BUT 19 is probably not the ideal age (for most) to have a baby.

He's old enough to have responsibilities such as driving a car and having a job so he's a man. A young man.
