Baby Name Poll Results

I was 20 when I got pg with my son and I was 21 (just barely) when he was born. I don’t think there is a set age for this I think it goes off you. If you are mature and ready for a baby then your fine. My cousin and his wife were the same age I was when they had their son (his mother is raising their son). Hope I helped GL

I was 17 when I had my daughter, and I was a single mom living on my own! You have support so I think its fine to have a baby at 20/21. I’m now 24 and have a great husband and I’m expecting my second child. It was tough to be a single teenage mom, but I managed.

Oh I am 25 now and have two babies, Thachary is 4 and Iridessa (dessa) is 2. I am a stay at home mom, I love my kids with all my heart and wouldn’t trade them for the world.

I think it is less about age and more about maturity of the mother and father, desire of the two to put their baby’s needs ahead of their own, and desire to be a good parent rather than a friend to the child.
If you’re worried about the responsibility of parenting (which is not to say that you won’t be a good parent or that you’re too young) it is a good idea to seek counsel from your parents or someone else that you who’s parenting techniques you would like to model. I’m sure you’ll be fine. GL!

I dont really think there is a certain age to be a good mother. 20 is a decent age. Its not like your 16 so 20 is a fine age. Being a good mother has other components not age. Dont worry what others say about your age. Just focus on your baby and the prepiration for its arrival.

I was 20 too- and some people did judge-but then i looked young for my age ... i went on to have another 2 children (at 23 and 25). I’m now 35, and am happy i had my children young

I don’t think it matters as long as you love for and care for your baby, that’s what makes you a good mother. There are some older women that can’t care for a baby better than some younger women, so who’s place is it to say? I wouldn’t worry about it, I would just focus on your new bundle of joy! :)

If you are living in your own and living off of your own money, not state. I don’t see a problem.

I was 19 when I found out I was pregnant. I also had been married 3 months to a man I was with since I was 15. I never dated and knew he was the one from a very early age which is rare. We had our own place and I was also in school. Before getting pregnant I did enjoy my partying. I had her at 20. I don’t party anymore and my fun days out is when I get to take my daughter to chucky cheese! I had her at 20 and am now 23. I finished school after I had her an I am now a registered nurse. I KNOW if I would have never got pregnant I would have dropped out of school and I would still be a party animal. My daughter saved me. Some people use their kids as an excuse to hold them back in life. I use mine as the most important motivation I’ve ever had. She made me the mature responsible adult I am today :). You’ll do fine as long as you are capable of loving your child more than your own self. Good luck!

Thank you for your feedback and encouraging responses. We are very excited to have our baby. I knew one day i wanted to fave children with my fiance it just happened sooner than what i had planned. Thank you so much everyone i will quit worrying with what people will say about my age.

at least your out of highschool and in a stable relaonship I think you will be fine its not age its how you and your baby together.

It depends on the readiness of the parents, not a specific age. If you are ready and prepared, I’m sure you’ll do great!

The first thing you need to do to be good parents to your baby is to get married! Establish a firmly secure home & family for your little one. Don’t let the negative opinions of others affect your new family!
