I can't say there's a definite when you're ready, as it's different for different people. I've wanted babies since I was about 17, but I know I'm not ready. I'm waiting til I'm financially and emotionally able to support a child.

Having said that, I think people are est to wait til they're in their 20s to start on kids, so you've had at least enough time to live and enjoy your life without having to worry about another person.

I think that it doesn't matter how old you are because back then girl were having babies at 14 and so on. I think it has to do with what the doc. says and if you are phycially , emotional , and mentaly ready for a baby. if you find your self there then I think that you are ready. Money is also a big facter. A baby makes you diff. and if you are ready to understand that the baby doesn't revolve around your life that you revolve aroung the baby that I think your ok.

there is no 'right' age for having a baby. but there are things to consider, there boring, but important.

when you DO have a baby, I am assuming that you'll want to gve t the best of everything. so ensuring you have;

a decent income.
housing
support network
understand, that babies come with a 'no return policy'
and are prepared for the sacrifices and commitment involved

then yeah. but you have many years ahead of you where you can have children, why the hurry?

I was 21 when I had my first and in hindsight, it may have been better had I have waited. I split up with my little boys dad when baby was only 7 months old, and you are stuck with that person for the rest of your life...and for 9 years it's been amicable, and now, not so much.

be sure of your reason why, but I am all for getting an education, a stable relationsip and ensuring I have a decent home...and these things will proably take you up till about 23...

why the hurry?

you shouldnt havve a baby til your married have a career life insurance
family that will support you if you go broke for a couple of months or so
well im 13 but I think your out of your mind if you want one at 15 no offence
besides you want a husband who will be there for your baby not leave you with him for life

I have just turned 16 2months ago, when my son was born, so I was 15 when I got pregnant. NOTHING worked out, my family still to this day will not speak to me apart from my sister, Although my friends are my family now, my two bestfriends who one is now my sons godfather and the other his godmother I wouldnt change them for anything! if it wasnt for them I wouldnt have what I have now, they have helped soo much, even down to furnishing my flat. my sons godfather had the flat fully furnished and ready and the cot which he bought all ready and set up for when I left the hospital and came home! (I wondered why he left me half way in labour with my sister haha ) my sons dad will not have anything to do with him either, I've got a flat now but hardly any money at all, but you have to get by! I dont regret my son and I love him to bits I would never let anybody hurt him or him go without anything! But believe me life would of been easier if I had money and was a little older but oh well I wouldnt change a thing.

I would say around 20 because then your a little older.more mature and shouldn't feel like your missing out on your teenage years.

When you're done with school, have a good job, and have the money to raise one.

I think when you're married, know you can care for the child, and have enough money to do so.

There is no age.

There are qualifications.

1. You have a car.
2. You own your own house.
3. You have a job that pays more than 12 dollars an hour.
4. You are emotionally stable.

I think that about covers it.
