| I'm 20 and just had my first child...I don't regret it, but she was a surprise. I have a lot to do before I have the next one. |

| No regrets with my kids, but other choices made lead me to believe that I should have been a bit more mature before starting a family (I too was 19). |

| I was 36 when I became a first-time mom. She was a big surprise, but the best thing that could have happened to me. Some may think that's old, but I don't think I would have had nearly as much patience for it years ago. I'm glad things worked out the way that they did. |

OOPS!!
I hit the wrong answer, I wanted to put no since I was 35 when I had my daughter. |

| I felt somewhat to young, but would not change it for the world. I love my kids and i was 17 when I had my first son and 21 when I had my daughter. I was only 27 when I had my second son. I loved having them this young cause I am able to get out and do things with them and not feel old. I would not change it at all. |

| I was 36, had given up a few years prior. PJ was a very big surprise. He's my world and my husband and I are so greatfull he came into our lives. The downside is somtimes we fuss over him too much. |

| I was finishing my college degree and had just become engaged. We moved the wedding up so I could fit into my dress. It would have been nice to get a few years of work under my belt. Finances have been more difficult with my husband only working. |

| I finished college and was married. I have always wanted a family and so did he, so it was only right for us to start trying as soon as the honeymoon started! |

| I was 28, but I think age is somewhat irrelevant. When you have a child, planned or not, you just make it work...you make it the right time. No matter what age you are, that child changes your whole life and makes you a better and more mature person. Just a thought.... |

| I still feel way too young to have a kid...at 29 years old (I am 30 now). However, I feel that I had her at a good time in my life. I was ready for her, but I still look at her and think...wow, I am responsible for this little person!!! |

| lets just say i graduated 6 and a half months pregnant. i got prego when i was 17 and then again at 19 now im 20 and have 2 kids. but my husband is the father of both my kids so we are not the advarge kids who have a baby and split up we are together married have a 3 BR apartment. and we make enought to get by so i can stay at home with the babies. but i still think i was to young because all my friends were into drinking and parting and all that and i didnt get to so i still feel young at heart and want to go and do that but cant as i like to put it i didnt get to get my parting days out of me. |

| I had my son three months after turning 16. I had my daughter when I was 23. I think I was very young with both, especially my son. I had to grow up fast, and I missed out on a lot. But I have a great kid. I would do it all over again, he is the light of my life, both kids are. |

| I was the perfect age (for me) I was 26 when I had my son and we tried for a year and half. It was perfect for me but at any age it is an adjustment.... |

| Looking back I realize that I did have my daughter too young (22 yo) but it had more too do with circumstance than my actual age ... bad marriage, bad apartment, only up side was I had a good job. I had my 2nd daughter when I was 25 and feel that it was perfect timing ... but even more important I was in a healthy marriage with a great man!!! And I really like the age gap between my girls ... I think its perfect. |

| I was the right age for me. I was 18 almost 19 when I had my daughter, 20 when I had my son, and will be 22 when my 3rd is born in Sept. This may not be right for some people but it's been right for me and my husband and we wouldn't change any of it. |

| My husband and I planned our son... so I don't feel like I was too young. I had him 2 weeks before my 23rd birthday. I had always planned on having all my kids before i hit 30. We'll see what happens.... I'm 24 now and we'd like at least 2 more kids.=) |

| I was 20 years old when i had my son and I wanted a child since I was like 5 so at least I waited 15 years after wanting to become a mommy :) But I will never regret my son because he helped me grow up alot. The only thing I miss is my friends, but they're not grown up at all. To be able to act like I'm 23 would be fun, but that isn't who I am. |

| I think that I was less preparred more then age.Somewhat too young to comprimise certain living conditions and financial burdens.More then anything,I honestly believe I got married too young and that came before the baby. |

| Raising my son on my own was fine.Being married to a man with bad credit is terrible.It realy does deprive the children of getting out, going places and enjoying more then usual playground activities.Even a decent child care enviorment so I can get back in school so we can have more then one decent income. That way he can actually pay his dues and we can build a future with some actual stability. Not having finacial stability is what makes me feel too young as a mom. |

Well, I was 31 when I had my daughter. We are so thankful for her,since we tried for 10 years to have a child. Thankfully the fourth doctor that I went to figured out what was wrong and withing 6 months I was pregnant! So, women with PCOS, do not give up hope!!
We are talking about our second baby for next year. We'll see. |

| I was 27 the first time and 29 when I had the twins. We waited intentionally because every woman in my family before me had their first at 17 and I was determined to break the cycle. I do not regret it for a minute, I was allowed to grow up and spend quality time with my husband establishing a strong foundation to grow a family on! |

| Since I had my daughter at 24 I don't think that I was too young I think that it was perfect though I would have liked to been married 2 to 5 yrs before having children, But everything has worked out great, starting out a marrige with a family already helps so that you aren't already in a routine with your spouse that is hard to break. |

| I had just turned 18 when I had my son Hayden. I had been in a relationship for a little over 2 years at the time and our son was completely planned, and we don't regret it one bit. I don't think age is the issue its a matter of if you are ready to raise a child or not, but of course I'm not saying its fine to have a baby when your 14!! |

| i was 25 when i had my son. I think I was too young because it was very much a surprise and not what i had planned. I didn't want to think about having kids until I was in my thirties. I am thankful that he is a very health happy baby though. |

| 23 when I had my first and 24 when I had my second. I feel that I was too young and hadn't accomplished all the things I had planned even though my children were planned. I was shell shocked with having 2 kids so close together. I love them so very much, but I often wonder if I could have given them more by waiting until I had a degree. |

| My mom was 17 when she had me and things were always hard for her. So it was important for me to wait to have kids. I was 29. |
