    if 20 isn't too young to have sex then it's not too young to have a baby...i got married when i was 20 and had my first kid at 22...no regrets but i'd tell anyone to wait a while b/c there's no going back

    hell yeah. i mean its possible to conceive a child as young as 12-13 but that dont mean its right. Wait til u graduated college, got a career, married with a stable home, got life experiences under your belt, traveled a little, learned about yourself and who you are, dated different people, etc. Late 20's or early 30's is ideal.

    AGREED!!!!! Like my uncle told me when I was a teenager don't have kids until your financially stable. I'm glad that I was told this at an early age so I don't have to go through this now.

    I was 21 when I had my son

    I don't have any regrets but it was hard

    You have to give up alot when you become a parent.... just make sure you are prepared to do so

    .that just made me laugh.

    Having a kid at any age is life changing. 20 is really young to take on that kind of responsibility.

    it depends where you at in your life, and if you are mentality and financially prepared to have kids then it is what it is.

    Yes it's on the young side, but nowadays it's a blessing just to make it past your teens.

    why would you wanna have a baby at 20?
    I used to say that I wanted to start having kids by the time I was 25....now that it's like 3 years away, I'm not sure if I'm ready for that.

    could be.

    but the other question that could be asked of all is:

    is 20 too young to have your first abortion?

    You're 20 then. Okay.

    Instead of asking, "Is 20 too young to have a baby", as this...

    Do you think you're mature enough to have a child?
