TTC at 18

[SGDA]

Any other young people TTC?

(Me and DH are married, have a house and both have stable jobs and enough money to fund a child)

I'm not young anymore sadly (28 now, boohoo) but I had a baby when I was 19 (wasn't planned whatsoever, I was in uni. Typical because now I want one I can't get pregnant lol) I struggled, dad left me, I lost my job etc etc. But despite me missing out on a hell of a lot, like travelling, socialising with friends etc I have to say that I think having kids when you're younger is better if you can afford it and are mentally ready to give up your entire life to live knee deep in nappies and on 2 hours sleep a night. Almost ten years on from my first and my energy levels are much lower, I wonder how I'll cope now if I had a baby and I definitely wouldn't have as much energy and an ability to live on so little sleep as I did back then. If you're mentally ready, in a stable relationship and can afford a child then go for it. Good luck :)
