I am certain I want a baby, but I'd like some informed opinions.?

I think your personally ready to have a baby, but make sure your partner is fully committed. If you guys are both ready, then why not? Your obviously financially stable, which is another good thing to have when having a child.

sounds like you have your life under control. But here is the thing you are still young at 19 when you have a child it is a lifetime of work. Are you sure you are read now for a baby , business, and trying to get ahead. What will you do if baby is sick alot. mine were and what if no sleep for days on end. colic screaming for hours. High fever and rocking all night because you are scard to death that the baby is relly sick and don't know what to do. If baby cries to sleep with you , you know you can read and prepare yourself all you want but when it comes the books have to go out the door. Every baby is different. If you feel that you can handle all this now then it is your life and go for it. Just hope you have a good family to help because you will need all the help you can get.

Only you can answer whether or not you are ready for a baby. It sounds good to me, you are financial stable, with a partner who is working and stable, you have a home and essentials, so it all sounds great on paper.

Is your partner on board with having a baby now? That is the only question I have.

I think it is great you are thinking about the pros and cons before you get pregnant, whatever you choose, good luck!

i could check out them like they only landed from Mars...and ask them 'are you for genuine?" Honesty i would not in no way do some thing like that and that i'm an adoptive parent. Even in the previous we've been placed with a toddler I in no way even have been given jealous seeing a youthful teenage female with slightly one and concept "She could supply up that infant for adoption." in spite of each and every thing the baby is her's, and that i comprehend some great very youthful mothers. some have been mom at 20yrs previous or slightly youthful. i became married at 20yrs previous began making plans a relatives then. So why could 23 be to youthful? Wow you could have very wonderful childrens. it is not usual behaviour, least not in my city....in the event that they experience the could do this then they could professional help-speedy.

You sound like you are ready financially, but how about physically? You are VERY young and having a baby will change your life forever. I am now 29 and only now having my first child. My partner and I have traveled the world and had our fun, now we are ready for the next stage of life.

I would suggest think long and hard about it as life will change. If you still think you are ready, than go for it :-)

IMO, if you need to ask complete strangers wether you should have the go ahead to have a child or not. That means your not ready.

For me, i knew when I was ready with my husband and had no doubt in mind and I didn't ask anyone b/c in the end. Ill be carrying and caring for that child. Not anyone else.

as long as your partner is also ready for a baby go ahead

hey you are so young to give the appropriate care to your baby coz sometimes u might need to go out and have fun while ur baby needs u so badly home as u are not yet done with having fun that definitely would be a tight temptation...............so lay low baby

go for it
