To think my dd is very young to be pregnant

[Nantobeb777]

Just 23

I agree. I had my children late and I’m very aware that they won’t have the same family dynamics I had when I was say, 40. I still had my parents, my aunts and uncles in their 60s (never had gp). By the time mine are 40 everyone is either going to be decrepid or dead.

(disguising sex for privacy) I've just found out that a young person in my family is going to become a parent in 2026. They were born in 2003 (same year as my son who is still at University) and will be 23 when the baby is born. Their parents had them when they were 33 and 37. Everyone in the family including one set of GP who were 18 and 23 when they became GP absolutely definitely think they are young to be a parent. But perhaps in this young adults's case it's a lot to do with their general maturity as a person.

Sorry too late to edit - the GP were 18 and 23 when they became parents, not GP.

I think any age for a first time pregnancy would make me nervous for my DD.

23 is perfectly fine.

We worry as mums, though. So, I understand. I'm on the wrong side of 40 and my DM treats me like I'm 18 for life.
