| I'm only 20 (going on 21 in December) I got married the August after I graduated high school so I was 18, I had my son a month after I turned 20. I was extremely ready. I was ready soon after I got married but we wanted to wait until we were both ready and hubby told me he would say when he was, he wasn't quite ready to give me up yet. LOL I want my kids I guess fairly close in age and hubby wants to wait until our son is in preschool. He is just use to that because his parents waited till he was 11 to have his sister. Is it normal to want to have a baby so soon though? Like after my son is a lil over a year? Hubby says no I say go! HeHe I never did go back to work after I got pregnant and delivered. I am very fortunate I get to see all the cool new things he does each day.

| I had my first daughter when I was 24. My second when I was 27. I love em both. I wouldn't change anything, but, I think that being a parent is hard for anyone! It is definitely something to plan and prepare for. I thought I was ready, but I wish I would have waited a little longer. Just, be sure that you are financially and emotionally ready.

| I had my first daughter at 18. I was definitely NOT ready. I had my son at 20 - I wasn't ready then either. My youngest was born when I was 27, and I will admit that I STILL wasn't ready. I love my kids with all my heart. They are definitely blessings, and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. I don't think I'll be winning any mother of the year awards, but we've all managed to survive. We've dealt with me just being pregnant and grumpy. We've dealt with post partum depression, we've dealt with me just being flat out overwhelmed. We've met our challenges head on and we've come out stronger and closer.

| I was married at 20, had my first son at 21 and my second son at 25 (I'm 53 years old now). I was so extremely lucky, I had the support of my family and the support of my husband's family. My mom babysat my kids when I decided I wanted to go back to work, and if for any reason she couldn't babysit (vacation, Doctor's appointment, etc. ) my mother-in-law would come over and stay with them. Both grandmothers were absolutely in love with their grandsons and loved spending time with them. My sons are now 31 and 28 and are wonderful human beings. When people tell me how great my boys are, I always think of my Mom and mother-in-law, because they played a major role in the men they are today.

| We married when I was 25, and tryed a long time to get pregnant, which never did happen, and after a while of trying and also finding out about a possible issue with me we decided to look into adoption. We brought home our daughter from China on my 35th birthday! She was 11 months old and was(and still is!)the light of our lives! I thank God everyday for this little blessing in our lives, I still cannot believe she is now 4 1/2, seems like just yesterday she was placed into my arms. Desiree |

| I was 19 when I had my son. I was NOT ready. 2 1/2 yrs later, I had my twins. NOT ready again. I'm now 33, and I think I could be ready when I turn 35. Maybe it's true, your never ready. Both of my pregnancies were easy, physically. So-- draining, emotionally. I was very overwhelmed and a single parent of three at 23. Those were some hard years. I have been with the "true" love of my life for 10 years now. We would both like to try to have a child, in two years. It's still scary, but by then we should (hopefully) be ready as can be. If not, then it wasn't ment to be. My son is almost 14 (December) The girls just turned 11.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I am topped out at three. I have a 11 year old (girl), 8 year old (girl) and a 3 year old (boy). My daughter was born two weeks before my 21st birthday (been with hubby since I was 16). Love it love it. I don't feel as though I have missed out on anything and have done very well for myself and family. Having a family is an awesome thing. When I had my first daughter I stayed home until she was almost a year. Then with my second daughter I had my six weeks and the same with my son. Things changed a lot more between baby one and two because we had more financial responsibility and I also liked having a career and family time.

| I had my dtr when hubby and I were both 22. I feel I am not great mom material. Too spoiled myself I guess. We had a lot of help from my parents. She has turned out great though. So maybe I wasn't so bad. Hubby says I will make a great grandmom. Spoil em and send them back.

| I had my kids at 25, 28, 33, and 35. I have never NOT worked. Even when my kids were little I worked. When my youngest started school I became a baker and made baked goods for 11 elementary schools and a school for children with cerebral palsy. I made many hundreds of cupcakes every day plus cookies, apple crisp, and rolls. I have burn marks all over my arms. No one was happier than me when schools did away with unhealthy, sugary foods!! I lost my job but I went to night school and was trained in computer graphics and got a job doing that. I wouldn't change having any of my kids when I had them except to have the last two closer in age to the first two.
