Hi Girls,

I just wanted to say, I think that it doesn't matter what age you are when you start ttc, so long as it is right for you and DP then you should go for it. I got married when I was 20 and DH was 21. We started trying for a baby on our honey moon. My father was much the same (even though he and Mum were quite young when i came along) as alot of your parents, said i would be wrecking my life and that money and a career were more important than any baby. I disagreed with him but was still scared of his reactions. As it turned out it took us three and a half long years and two miscarriages before we brought our first set of twinnies into the world. i was bordering on 24 and I was STILL considered young by the midwives!!
One thing I have learnt in this journey, is that people will make their judgements, no matter what and you just have to learn to take on board the things that can help you along the way.
Like Kelly, it wasn't until the birth of the twins that i decided to become a midwife. I was halfway through nursing and I finished that, worked for a few years and then did my midwifery diploma. You can have everything that those people say that you will be sacrificing if you have children. We take the kids away witth us on Holidays and it's fun.They make our lives full. I can't imagine it being any other way.
