I was too scared to have a baby when I was married at 23. My DH and I were married for 7 years before I had DS. Now I wish I had him back then. We didn't because we were scared both mentally and of what the financial implications were... dunno why.... that's all hindsight now. We were worried about being good parents - which we are, because we love our son more than our own lives.
One of my friends (who was 28 with a son in high school) said to me, if you're waiting to be financially secure, you'll never have children. She was right - that's why I had Daniel. I asked, "What am I waiting for here?"
Just thought I'd say anyway. I'll be 33 giving birth if this littlie sticks.
I admire your guts and your decision to have children early. If I knew then what I know now! Boy oh boy! I'd have a clan!!!
Thanks Lestpuss, although my first wasnt planned i wouldnt take her back for the world, we thought about waiting to try for #2 until we had more money a house of our own etc, but we figured we've already got one so we might as well have them closer together and then do all that stuff a lil later.
Best of luck in your pregnancy and wishing you all the best.
