Not at all. My first was conceived when I was 21. My second just shy of my 25th. For me fertility was the reason we decided to have children early. When I was 18 I was by my gyn told it would be a struggle. My first was a miracle baby. The dr laughed in my face when I told her I was pregnant :/ The struggle came with DS, albeit not as much of a struggle as some. 2 miscarriages and a fertility specialist later we conceived DS. I think had I waited till now, it would have been even more difficult.

I was ridiculed and judged a lot as young mother. By my family, by friends and even mothers groups. Yet I did it. And now my life is in a great place. I don't feel as though I suffered career wise as I have had a lot more time to decide on what I want and still focus on being a mother. It's the mindset of others I struggled with more than being a young mother. I love my life. I love how I have raised my kids and I'm very proud of our achievements.
