Nope. I was 25 when my first child was born and I was thrilled when she came into our lives.

Nope. My oldest is 45 and my youngest is 35, and I will be able to watch my grandchildren get older, God willing. : ))

No way. I was 16 when I had my son. He is now almost 5yrs old and I'm 5months pregnant with my second. Kids are the best.

On my 21st birthday I was sitting in the doctors office waiting to hear my daughter's heartbeat for the first time........it was the best gift anyone could've ever given me for my birthday. I always pictured my 21st as this big blowout that I would never remember because I woulda partied to hard. But I grew up fast. And when I was 20 I had decided I was ready to be a mother, so my then fiance and I got pregnant. I don't regret any of it. I always wanted to be a young mother. Granted, I wanted to be a married, young mother, but some things aren't meant to work.

In a way yes, and in a way, no. I had my kids at 17, 21, and 24. I might not have made as many mistakes if I had been older, and I became a grandmother at 34. But there is something to be said for still being relitively young after your kids are grown.

It wasn't easy to have so much responsibility at such a young age and to have to be a mum, while all my friends still got to be kids. I did really well though and my daughter is the greatest gift in my life, so i have no regrets. It still feels a bit weird at times that my kids are grown up and i can now do as i please, but i have no one to do it with because most friends i know are now running around doing mummy things. Like I just totally missed the bus on the whole *fit in* with my friends thing.

As hard as every thing was including the choices I had to make, I can honestly say that no I don't regret it.

Having children at any age has it's own pros and cons. So,rather then regretting people should concentrate on the upbringing and well being of the children. On the first hand it was your decision to have the kid. So,no point in regretting after having a kid.It's better to think about it before playing the ding dong game.

I was 23 and going through a divorce when I discovered my pregnancy. I regretted it at the time, but now I couldn't tell you why. It may have been hard when I was the classic 'struggling single mother', but he was the joy of my life from the moment he was born. I had my second at 29 and definitely don't regret a thing about having her either.
