Am I too young?

Hi everyone, I am soon to be 18 years old and I am in a loving relationship that has so far been 3 years. I have one problem, I really want a baby, and my partner says that he does too but we are too young. However I feel that it is not all about age but it is about maturity and i feel ready. What do you think? Has anyone experienced this and if so, what did you do? Bex

I think it is too young not because I am judging your parenting skills as I don't know you, but to be a good parent you need to be able to put someone else first and do that without too mnay regrets and "I wish..." moments.

I had my dd at 26 and think I personally was far too young, I have missed out on so much and my parenting has suffered for it. If I had waited another few years, had more selfish me time I would be a less selfish parent than I am now.

Although having said that I am one of the most self centred selfish people I know so if I had waited for the right moment I would probably never have had dd!

HA HA TSAP! Well I do think tha the fact I am asking u guys - a bunch of stranger - if i amready it kind of proves that i am not! If i was ready I wouldnt have to ask.

lol yeah i suppose. But it did seem to have come out all wrong. Every month i get brooy and sometimes I confuse this with being ready for a baby. Also im really young but I feel mature and I am in an adult relationship that has been 3 years so far and if we were both older, we would be married by now.
