For being upset over our future

OP, i'm not going to criticise you on your choice to have a baby so young, although I wouldn't have even dreamt of it, and didn't have my first until I was 37, which in my industry is really common, it is with your understanding of the finances that you might need help with.

Having £2,000 in savings at 20 is commendable, but I basically spent half of that on a pram and a few other baby bits. Of curse you can do it cheaper, but having kids is expensive! I went through about £30,000 in 2 years on my first, and aside from the pram i'm not sure i could have done things much cheaper.

To be fair to @Cherry119 she said that she had "far more than £2000" in savings, in response to someone else mentioning that amount.

It’s hard to look back at her comments because of changing username. In future OP I definitely recommend sticking with one username for a whole thread as people can click to see all of your posts, and your posts are a different colour to other people’s.

OP I was also diagnosed with PCOS at the same age, was told I wasn't ovulating at all, there was lots of scarring on both of my ovaries and I would need medical intervention to conceive. I would have a couple of periods a year.
I made sure I used contraception because you never know and also anti androgenic contraception is really helpful for managing PCOS. I also grew up in real poverty.
I went to uni, bought a property on my own at 25, I had a good job with prospects, I thought I was earning well then, it would nowhere near cover my today life expenses. Coming from poverty I always wanted to be completely independent.
I had a serious relationship back in my late teens, early 20s and I really thought we were forever, we weren't. I got together with DH around 25.
I had DS at 34 conceived one cycle after coming off the pill after I was married, we'd bought a lovely family home in an area with great schools. My job is a vocation and bloody difficult, but because I was well established before having DS my progression hasn't faltered , I actually got promoted whilst on mat leave. My reputation also allowed me to negotiate the working hours that suit my family.

More than most I really know where you're coming from, but I'm testament to the fact you can have it, everything you want, without rushing anything. I've had so many wonderful experiences with my husband before we had DC , we were both ready for the commitment of children. Your partner isn't. Don't have a baby with a man who isn't all in, especially not at your age, if he walks away your life will be very difficult.

Look, you clearly know what you want and won’t be persuaded otherwise. That’s fine, it is your life. Only your boyfriend isn’t on board yet, so you can leave or wait.
but your life does sound a bit small, possibly because that’s what you know from home, and you are perpetuating that for your child.
having been on a holiday and a couple of countries with school is not traveling.

make sure you are financially independent (could you pay £1000 a month on childcare?), even if you were a single mother?
look around you - do you want the life your mum had, your friends are having?
but all of this is moot if you don’t have a willing father for the child

I do know what I want and going to a few countries is seen as travelling but I have no desire to travel. I don’t mind if you think my life is “small” or if you want to speculate on my background but I would never put my child through what I went through and if I ever wanted to go anywhere, I would rather take my child too even if it costs more or takes more time to plan so they can experience it too. Travelling and clubbing and all those others things people “need to experience” are of zero interest to me and they have never been of interest to me. I like my simple little life but I would also go above and beyond if I ever have a child and also, I would never force my SO to have a child with me if he didn’t want to which is why we don’t have one and why we won’t have one until he is ready. I was just upset because it felt like he was making excuses and putting it off more than anything. At the end of the day none of it matters and I understand what people are saying

thank you

I was the same as you OP . I was 19 to be told I had PCOS and Endometriosis. I was in such a rush to have a baby but my partner was older and wiser and wanted us to wait a while , enjoy each other and try in a few years We bought a house went on some holidays . Fast forward to me being 28 and feeling like I wanted to try now . By now I had undergone 2 operations for my Endometriosis . In January 2020 we both agreed I would come off the pill but never mentioned a baby we just agreed we would relax and have fun and if it happened great. Within 3 months it had happened against all odds and we now have a very busy toddler and are planning our wedding . But I'm so glad we waited and had that time together to grow .
Good luck with whatever you choose .
