RE: 18 and pregnant? My story.

In this day and age, giving birth at 18 is too early.

...But do not worry too much.
Just 200 years ago, in my country (and in a lot of other places all over the world), it was normal for girls to marry and become mothers at 14 or 15.

A woman's body becomes ready for child delivery pretty early. At 15, almost all girls are fully developed for a child. The problem is in the mentality - at 15 most are still kids.
The past was different because kids were exposed to hardships a lot earlier in life. Many were working on the fields since 10 years old. These children would quickly become adults.

I believe that the most important question isn't "how old are you?", but "how ready are you?".

Do not fear hardship, as it makes you stronger.
