Anything 16 and under is to young there is no way you should be having a baby when your really still on yourself but that I'd my opinion 17 isn't that bad your young but you can manage having a baby at any age can be hard having them young can be even harder

I was 17 when i had my first baby and am now 33 pregnant with my second.
Some people will say you are to young but i know some teen mums that are better mums than 30 year olds. Age does not matter it is how you raise and care for your child that does.
One tip i will give you is dont be afraid to ask for help. The worst thing for yourself is to tell people you are ok when you arent. You will risk getting depression and your own medical issues.

As long as you love the child and you do your best thats what matters. Im more terrified of having a baby now than when i was 17. Its normal to be scared

Being a young mum has its perks and pitfalls. You will probably have plenty of energy to play with bub as he or she grows. You may be judged by others, I was (had my first at 19) but the people who judge you won't be in your life for long. I'm now 35 and pregnant with my 3rd, I still feel very young and have plenty of energy. Parenthood is what you make it, if you enjoy it and do your own thing, it can be the most amazing adventure you'll ever have. Best of luck, believe in yourself and trust yourself to be the best mum you can be, I'm sure all you young mums will be great.

You may feel like you're too young and that you're going to have a lot of trouble. But it's just how it is. I'm 17, I'm ready to have my daughter any time now. In the beginning I felt like I was too young and I wasn't prepared to be a mother and grow up. But if you sit back and think about it, there's 30 year olds who aren't ready to be parents and who aren't ready to do what they need to do. It's hard and a lot of work just being pregnant, but once the baby is here you'll be so happy. Regardless of your age. Being young doesn't determine how good of a parent you'll be, how hard you work and how much effort you put into doing things right does. Good luck to you ❤️

I'll be 23 in 2 months, my husband will be 26, I'm a veteran in the Army and he's active duty in the Army. Though we are much older than you, we are still young, and I feel a little unprepared and scared of the unknown. We may be a bit more stable but it doesnt make us any better. You just have to be determined and really try hard to give your child the best. I'm sure it'll be difficult but it's a blessing. Just don't give up.

Yes you are young, but plenty of teen Mommy's are fantastic and do a really good job. It's just time to grow up and prepare for a new version of life. I had my son when I was 18 and gave him up for adoption because I had no support and his Dad was a meth addict. But I don't regret it. I haven't met any teen Mom that regretted her baby once they had them in their arms.

It depends on the person. For me that would be too young. So I guess you just have to make it work for you.
