Too young at 25?

This is my first post on here.... really looking for some advice!

I'm 25, married to my childhood sweetheart (for a year), and own my own house. I have a good job and my husband is just about to get a promotion. My husband and I have been talking about having babies for as long as I can remember and all I have ever wanted is to be a mum.

But, now that we are at the point where we are talking more seriously about trying for a baby, I'm panicking that people will say we are 'too young'. We would be the first of our friends to have a baby, and so I don't really have anyone to talk to about baby-related dramas. It seems that everyone around me is at least 30 before they have a baby but I'm so broody, it's literally all I think about each day.

My parents are very ambitious, and I have always wanted to make them proud... they divorced when I was very young and I have an unhealthy obsession with making everyone happy... and I think this is holding me back.

Cutting a very long story short, I want it to be an exciting time and not be worrying about what other people think.... do you think 25 is too young? Or am I being stupid/ over-thinking?

I was 22 when I had mine she's now 2.5, people still make comments about my age and I'm no where near as close to my friends (none of them have kids). But it just washes over me i'm happy and if you are you shouldn't care what people think!
