oh, it's fun to want a baby and fantasize about a family, but you both need to finish school and get a job first. just wait it out and try to stick to your original plan. all three of you will be much happier if you get your life in order first.
 
Only over the last year or 2 I've been feeling like I really want a baby. I've been with my bf for 5 years and would be moving together soon but we don't have jobs yet and I still haven't finished college, he has though so should be able to get a good job. I want to settle in together for atleast 2-3 years and finish college and both have jobs. Would that be a good time to have a family even if I don't have a career and he's making most of the money? I'm 22 and want to have my first at 24/25 as I think that's the perfect age and I want 2 kids before I'm 30. Am I too young to be thinking about kids in the next few years?

It's so strange because when I was 20/21 the thought of pregnancy really scared me and the fact so many of my friends have already had kids shocked me. Then I got to hang out with their babies and children and I got extremely maternal suddenly and started thinking how amazing it would be if me and my bf had one too. Is that the time women feel most maternal or something? lol I never got that before! Thanks. :)
Yeah I mean I would wait until we had jobs but I don't think I'd be getting a very well paid job even in my mid 20's...
 
I don't think you're too young to be considering children in the next few years or so. I think mid to late 20's a great age to try to have children (personal opinion, of course). I was 25 when I started trying to conceive. However, I do think it would be wise to finish college, have good jobs, get married and settled down and then try to raise a family. Children deserve a nice, stable home - financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Good luck!! ♥
 
its normal to want a baby, especially when everyone around you has kids! I am 20, and trying for a baby. but im finished with school, and my hubby is 24, and also finished with school. age don't matter as long as you have your life in order!
best wishes!
