Today, most of us may think that 19 is too young to have a baby. Most people who are 19 may have no steady income source, and there are many other problems they can't to deal with. However, some people don't think so.
There are many interesting questions on Chinese Pregnancy Calendar site. Here is a question about this.
Do you think 19 is way too young to have a baby? For more, suppose that person has been with their partner for almost 3 years and they both have a source of income, and they live together.
The Best answer for this question comes from Meghan:
i was 19 when i got prego with my first, and i was only with her father for a couple of months (oops!) :-) all went well, we are still together, and now i'm 23 and due with our second baby girl in Jan.
Sure, nobody can say that people can't have a baby when he/she is 19 years old. Isn't that?
Other answers for this question:
1. My sister was 19 when she had her first kid and it was fine. My sister and her husband are very responsible when it comes to their children. I at first though it was too young just because she never really got to go and have fun with her friends but then again she was never the type to go out and party so that was ok. Just remember once having a baby at a young age doesn’t mean they can still go out every weekend with their friends. Here and there but not every weekend then it looks bad on your part.
2. As long as they both want it and can support it I don't see why not. I had my baby at 20 and me and my boyfriend got married when she was 7 months old and we ae doing just fine. It would be nice o get married first though, a baby is a bigger commitment than marriage so just be sure. Maybe make a budget plan and include the baby. Diapers, wipes, doc appointments, bottles, clothes, furniture, child care if you will continue to work. Also take into account that the baby will need you. All the essentials you know. If everything seems like it will be ok and your emotionally and finacially ready, you have your place then why not. I suggest maybe get married first, but most people don't do it that way. Statistics frown upon non married couples having kids before marrage, but I beat the statistics. I get to do it right this time. Its ultimately up to you, if you feel ready. Good luck!
3. I don't think it's the age of the person, but the maturity level of the person which should determine if they are ready for a baby. I grew up fast...I had my first daughter at 19 and another 15 months later. I am completely devoted to their health and happiness, but not all girls are that mature at 19. I know 20somthing year olds that still show no signs of maturing soon.
4. i would say it is too young. its great that both ppl are responsible, but you havent lived life yet. have fun, go out, travel, enjoy each other and be young and carefree. im 28 and this is my first baby. im so happy i waited too, i couldnt imagine being tied down with a baby at 19. good luck!
5. Its not too young but you should think about whether or not you want to give up some things in life first i am 16 and i was pregnant for 10 wees, i had a miscarriage this past weekend and i am devastated its so hard to deal with this type of thing at such a young age, 19 is still young too so think about if your ready to deal with any emotional pain that might come out of it.
From these answers we can see that people have different opinion on this question. But one most important thing is that you have to take care of your baby after his/her coming. So we'd better to have a baby when we have enough money and enough time to do these things, right?
