I am currently 20, turning 21 in 3 months. I have been with my partner for 2 and a half years and I keep having thoughts about wanting to start a family. I love babies, I have a nurturing personality and would love to be a mum. I know I am young and I wouldn’t start trying to get pregnant straight away but I am wondering what everyone’s thoughts are about being a young parent and what pros and cons there are.

Consider a few things first: do you have any money saved? Are you and your partner both ready? Are you in a stable situation? Do you have support? Be prepared to be sleep deprived once the baby comes. Be aware that you might not be able to breastfeed. Be prepared that your life will change.
