Should I wait til school is finished to start a family?

I got pregnant my last year in college and had a full time job managing a large restaurant at the time. You just have to prioritize your life and be ready financially. I was in a very similar situation as my finace was 30 and I was 24. We just didn't want to wait much longer and already had a nest egg and home together. Go for it!!!

I agree with the above. If he is ready to commit to a family, then he should be ready to commit to marriage. I also agree that 42 is getting a little old to have a new born. When the child graduates high school, he will be 60 - college 64 or older. Financial stability is not the only thing that makes you ready to have a child, you also have to be emotionally ready to handle the day to day events, you have to be ready to commit to each other to be there to raise that child, you have to be ready to give up all your free time and pay attention to your child, etc.

Ahh what the hell, have yourselves a kid. Theoretically, if your financially ready, and you actually want to start one, then go ahead, it'll work. And face it you'll have what you need to start a family, and if you have 7 more years left (sounds like med school) a family make you more experinced. At some times it may seem like it made it harder, but in the long run it will make everything eaiser..

Honestly, only you know if you are ready. Babies take alot of time and energy but the rewards are plenty! I have a 7 week old and she takes up every minute of my day but if you and your partner work out a schedual then there's no reason it won't work, as long as baby is getting plenty of time with both of you! Just be prepared though, it will get tiring and stressful! If you can get over that then you'll be fine!

I would recomend doing it when it feels right. Think about how busy you are with school now. If you could add taking care of a baby to that, then go for it, but if there are still days when you are just run off your feet with all the work, I would wait.

The thing is if you had kids now, it would take a lot longer than 7 years to finish up. Your kids would need to come first and your schooling 2nd.

What I would do is get married first, settle down and see where that leads you.

wow 7 more?

It all depends on how ready you think you are emotionally, financially etc.

starting after school doesn't automatically mean it's going to be easier, but it could help.

I agree with your boyfriend, he will be a alittle on the older side. Why don't you get married and then have kids. Get married while your in school and then wait and see if marraige was too stressful with school. If it wasn't, then go on and make some babies :)

if you think your ready mentally, physically and financially ready for a baby..and have a stable home for your child...you could have a baby...if your ready to put your social lives on hold and think of your child first...then you can have a baby..if your ready to put your lives on hold and do nothing but take care of your baby..then your ready..really only start a family if you are ready, mentally, physically and financially..

if you are able to give the time to the child as well, then go for it. like you said, if you have that much more time in school, then you will want to start your career, i mean is there really the right time? if you can support the time and finaces then go for it.
