To think my dd is very young to be pregnant

[Nantobeb777]

Just 23

Is she happy?
I wish I’d had mine younger

YABU

23 is a perfectly reasonable age to have a baby.

That sounds like a perfectly fine age to me, and I didn't have one until mid 30s. There's always a trade off. I have a bit of life experience but no energy, she'll have lezs life experience but lots of energy. There's no right age.

I was 21. It really isn't your business, if she is happy.

She is an adult so no she is not young to be pregnant.

A teenager would be young although still legal from 16 to be pregnant.

No. Why do you think 23 is very young?!!

I don’t know. I think it’s probably good in terms of physical strength and vitality, but maybe not as much in terms of maturity, depending on the woman of course.

Yanbu for thinking Your daughter so young, I would think My 24 year old son so young to be a dad, but in reality they both are not.

No! She's absolutely not! I thought you were going to say she was 13!

It took me a long time to get pregnant in my 30s and I probably have a slim chance of having a second, let alone a third (the number I would love to have). I wish I had started at 23.

I also think career-wise I was just starting out at 23 but it hasn’t been until my 30s that I actually had chance of serious promotions. You obviously never know what could/would have been but I do think I actually would be in the same place in my career.

Had my first at 25 and second at 28. I'm now 30. No I don't think 23 is too young if that's what she wants. It's more a case of can she provide for the baby, have a stable job or income, and a roof over her head? Not to do with age.

it is so different for everyone. I was 29 when I had my first and it was perfect for me because I wasn’t ready before that. By my sister had her first at 23 and she was so ready. She was really good with managing them when they were little.

Unless that's a typo for 13 YABVU.

I was 22 when I had my dd and felt incredibly mature and ready to have her - I’d been in a relationship with her dad for nearly 5 years by that point (we did split up later though!) but my dd is 22 now and I would feel so shocked if she suddenly announced she was pregnant as she seems so much younger than I was at the same age! I think it completely depends on the person and circumstances. My dd is very much in her partying / post student era at the moment!

Me too!

No. 23 seems a perfect age to have a baby.

On the younger side for nowadays, but nothing wrong with it.

Yes it is young to be a mum, but not ridiculously so!

It depends on her circumstances.

I'm 22 and pregnant with my second. I don't feel too young 🤷‍♀️

YABU.

No. She can build her life around the baby.
If I’d a crystal ball I’d have forfeited my partying 20’s to have children earlier.

My niece is 25, she travels with her baby and has built her life around motherhood.

So did I.
20+ years old physical is absolutely fine.
Mentally and emotionally , it depends entirely on the young lady.

Completely agree. In fact I moved into a completely different career once DC went to school and am now building that into a life career
