I just (last week) turned 20 and I was 8 weeks pregnant. I am completely thrilled and feel as prepared as I could possible for this child. My husband and I wanted children and we wanted to "grow" with our kids. I think as long as you feel ready and your spouse does as well, then there is not a reason not to.

I Want the Same

I'm 19 years old and married to a much older man. He wants more kids (daughter from previous marriage) and I want to give him one but i'm too stressed to get pregnant. If I was to have kids I would want to do the same thing, just to be close. Good luck to you and your new family. :d

Thanks alot for the advice. I know im not too young and I should be fine, the only reason for this post was a mean guy came in under my name (or created one just like it) and asked the question. I didnt do it. But all the feedback makes things very easy to think about!!! Thanks everyone!!!!
