is 19 the right time for me to have a baby?
My boyfriend of 2 years and i have been in a serious relationship and now are thinking of getting married. but before we get married(like 3 months before i want to get pregant and he wants the same) Im 19 and almost done with my college and he’s got a really stable job and hes enlisting in the military also. His family adores me and mine adores him. we have been true to each other and we been “promised” for a year and a half. we’re fit with money and i just want some advice on this. i’ll be 20 in three months and i know that he is the one. What is your opinion about this?

I think it’s too young. Why don’t you wait until after you’ve been married for a year. The first year of marriage is the hardest, even without a newborn in the picture!!!
Enjoy your time just the two of you for now. There’s plenty of time for a baby in the future.

I had my first at 20, second at 23. It was very very hard …more so at about age 5-6, I didnt have the maturity or life experience to deal with the kids the best way… I felt it ans saw it when I spoke to moms who started their family at 26+years old. I think I could have spared the kids some juvenille parenting mistakes had I waited. (I was told I couldnt conceive then got preggo in 3 wks time)

and I agree, the first yr of marriage is hard, maybe get a dog ?? have a couple years with each other and the dog, then have kids.
