Secondly, I know what you mean about being affraid to tell people that you are pregnant when it happens. When I first thought I was pregnant with my now 3mo daughter, I was terrified to tell my mum. I was only 17 at the time. She actually took it the complete opposite of what I thought she would. She was extreamly supportive and still is to this day. The thing I found hardest to cpoe with was telling my friends. Only now do 2 of them talk to me. The rest just abandond me. It was like we had nothing in common anymore. They were focused on doing their HSC (as you would be) and going out getting drunk every weekend. And me, well I had a family to look after. Lily is my life and I believe I made the right decission. Even though it wasn;t a planned pregnancy, it certainly wasn't unwanted. DP and I are even thinking of having another baby in a year or two.
If you and DH are ready to start a family, then go ahead! As you said yourself, it is better to have them young, less problems, more energy etc. Don't let anyone stand in your way. You may get dirty looks, bad comments. But hey, that's their problem, not yours. Goodluck, and I hope that whatever happens, you will have the support you need. The girls on here are all very supoortive and sympathetic, some even empathetic. So if you ever need to get things out or just need to talk, someone here will always be willing to listen.
