the age that you know how to spell the word pregnant?

it's good that you're asking, but if you're not ready then don't do it. some people that are really young can handle it and otehrs can't. how old are you?

Only you know when you are ready, some people are capeable of raising a child at 16 and some people would be terrified of having a baby before they're 30. it tottaly depends on the person

It depends on the person. Anyone who likes to go out, party, spend lots of money on themselves probably isn't ready for the responsibiltiy of a child. Anyone who likes to sleep in, come and go as they please, and have "personal time" should wait.

I think babysitting is a good start to seeing if you can handle a baby. Just keep in mind that it isn't the same. It is a bit different doing it for a couple of hours as opposed to doing it 24/7/365. One of my friends daughters thought she wanted a baby (she is 21). She took another friend's colicy infant for the night. Her maternal desire has been put on hold.

I had a daughter at 18 and though .I love her dearly, it was a challenge that though a lot of women do it, not a lot do it well. It's a lifelong committment and one not to be taken lightly.

Good luck to you!

Persoanlly I don't think anyone is ever really ready untill they are holding their baby in their arms and facing reality with that new life.
You can be prepared and as said before only you know when you're fully prepared to have that kind of responsiblity on your shoulders. Not that it's a good thing cause they are still children but their are girls who are under the age of 18 (me being on of them) who have had children and done an excellent job and their are some women who are 30+ who don't know what the hell they are doing lol.
So it really all depends on you as a person mentally, physically, and spiritually.
