Don't give a crap what anybody else thinks!! Its only about how you and DF feel. If you feel you are ready to start a family and you have a fantastically strong and loving relatuionship, then go for it.
I am 21 and am ttc, DH and I married 4/9/04
and have been ttc ever since. 2.5 years ago we had an unplanned pregnancy which resulted in a m/c, I wanted to try again straight away, but DH wanted to wait, I hate DH for this decision for a while, but now in hindsight i am so glad we have waited. Our relationship is just so much stronger and we have grown so much together, now we feel like we could get through anything together.
I think it would have been very selfish of me to bring a baby into the world at 19 because Dh and I had only been together 18 mths and weren't really quite mature enough or ready to be totally selfless for the rest of our lives.
I don't think age should come into anything, if you are ready, do what your heart desires.
As for older people frowning down on you and telling you to 'have a life first' or 'get a career', thats b*$$sh#$! A life can't get much more beautiful than raising your own children, and I'm have no idea what career I want yet, also i want to have the health and energy to run around and play with my children.
Our best friends are 38 and they have only just had their first baby 6 mths ago and are alredy having to try for no 2 as they are running out of time, watching them go through what they have just really makes me think that younger is better, as long as you are ready.
I see that you are already pregnant, you clever show off =D> ! I wish all the best in life and please disregard any negative comments and be true to yourself
