The question is without reading all these comments is do you want a child? Too many women fall under societal pressure to have child. Make certain that is what you want first. No matter what others a about babies not being expensive, they are dead wrong no matter how careful you budget. Children deserve a quality life and independent parents. Yes you will need help with money unless you are well-off but you should take care of them as much as you can yourself. Bottom line is 1) do you really want children 2) Can you finacilly support them without relying on anyone else? Don't let fear mongers dictate the ideal age. Halle Berry is 46 and exepcting. She is in better shape than most women half her age. Madonna had kids in late 30's and early 40's. Yes these women have nannies and such but energy has nothing to do with age. Younger celebs have nannies because you know what kids are phsyically draining no matter the parent's age. At 19 anything can happen. Never have a child unless you are 100% into it. From the way you talk, you aren't sure.
