    And yes, my mom said I was too young. (She had 3 by 22.)

    Lots of my hs classmates are grandparents. One actually has seven already!

    20 When I had him...My mom was 3 months pregnant with me and 18 years old on her wedding day.

    He's my reason for working so hard and having a house, nice car and money at 25 years old when many of my friends still live at home with mom and dad. :love:

    Denver, CO - Our daughter was born when I was 22, I was 21 when I got preggo. Seems the majority of the parents in our kids' classes are closer to my parents' ages, which is fine, but when my daughter was in kindergarten I felt like we were BABIES in comparison!! I definitely hope my kids wait longer to have kids, live a little, but everything worked out for me and hubby with our kids so I definitely won't complain!!!

    I was 19 and my husband was 18 when our first was born. She's now 22 and that's how we remember how long we've been married. :laugh:

    Current age: 27
    Age when I had my first (only) child: 16 (2001)

    For me i think it has a lot to do with here you grow up and what you are surrounded with. However i learned my lesson and didnt keep having them. I did get prego a second time in 2005 but miscarried. I did graduate from high school and i am totally independant. Some change and some stay the same. we all have a choice and what we do with that choice is what matters.

    Age now: 41
    Met my husband at age 16, got married at age 19
    Had my first at age 20 (total surprise)
    Second at age 22 (planned)
    Third at age 25 (complete surprise)

    I will celebrate 22 years of marriage to my best friend and soul mate on December 16th. My oldest will be 21 (OMG) on December 18th.

    Love my boys and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. My youngest just turned 16 and in a few more years they will all be out of the house and my hubbie and I can really start to travel and enjoy ourselves while still being so young!!!

    I'm twenty one right now and I plan on first getting most of the way through college before I have a kid. I wanted to wait until after med school, but my future hubby said eight years was pushing it....so I agreed to three or four ;)

    I am what my OB labeled as a "mother of advanced age" (I almost threw his clipboard at him). From MA and 38 when I was pregnant, had him shortly after my 39th birthday. I was one of 5 pregnant at my class reunion that year, and 4 others had newborns. I just wasn't someone who always knew they wanted to be a mother. When the time was right, I knew it.

    When I worked in the Emergency Room, there were girls as young as 13 coming in to be seen because they were in labor.
