im really surprised people think you’re too young, even with your stable relationship. I’m starting to think it’s because more women are having babies much later in life now than ever before, it makes having a baby in your 20’s seem “too young” to some people, that’s my theory anyway!I’m mid 20’s, in a stable long term relationship and would love to have a baby but pressures of people telling us we’re too young are definitely a contributing factor to why it isn’t on the cards right now.
I think you’re right. Although I have bought a home etc with my partner and people around us still seem to think we have ‘so much living to do!’im really surprised people think you’re too young, even with your stable relationship.

I’ve been with my husband since we were 14, had our first unplanned at 18 and at 23 our 2nd came along.Sorry if this is better suited for a parenting forum but i hate them so I'm posting it here lol
So Dani Dyer from Love Island has announced her pregnancy and I was reading the comments on the Daily Mail article about it and quite a few people are saying 23 is too young to be a parent. She is young but i personally don't think it is "too" young to be a mum but then i did have my first at 24 and i never felt too young.
At what age would you say someone is "too young" to be a mum/dad? How old were you when you had your first child?
Forgot to mention Dani is 23
Me too. I would have felt trapped at 23. I was still enjoying my youth then... out and about. I had my first at 31.Each to their own but I wouldn't have had a child at 23 personally. I was too selfish, wanted to go on nice holidays, progress in my career and have a social life. I also had barely any life experience, relationship experience, job experience or financial stability.
