I am 24... Have been with my now DH for nearly 4 years and we are trying for a baby... My sister is 29 and is pg with no.4 and she had her first at 18... My best friend has 2 kids, I have plenty of other friends that have children. Honesty I do not understand where this idea came from that you have to be over 25 to start thinking about children.

I have wanted to have a baby for years and only put it off until now because we wanted to get married first. DH and I agreed that we'd go off the pill right after the wedding. Fell right away but m/c'd at 14 weeks and now we're trying desperately again.

I think it is more to do with mental age...

People just don't get it. I do not think for a second that I am too young. I am married, we've bought a house... DH won't let me get anymore animals (3 dogs, 2 birds and a turtle) to fill in the gap that is yet to be filled by baby... DH is a lawyer and even though we are not rolling in it now, his career is only going up... So really...
