This article is just based on my own opinion and doesn't mean I am right with all that I will say. I had my firstborn at the age of 18 years old. Too early to have a baby right? That was a teenage pregnancy but even if I had her at an early age I still embrace motherhood at that time. Being a teen mom was never been easy, especially since I was raising my child alone. Sleepless nights in the first few months after giving birth but I was blessed to have my mom who assisted me in how to take care of my daughter.

After being a single mom for 13 years, it comes to my thinking that I wanted to have another baby but my problem is my boyfriend at that time is incapable of making me impregnated because of some personal issues. He really wanted us to have a baby coz he wants to have a Pinay or Pinoy baby. I was 28 at that time. But after trying a couple of times I didn't get pregnant. He knows he can't but we are just hoping for a miracle at that time. I honestly wanted to have a baby with him but God never allow us to have one.

Then I meet Elmo(my husband). I never had the intention of having a serious relationship with him coz I guess he was not serious with his intentions. After a short period time of being in a relationship with Elmo, I got pregnant. It was not planned but it was not a mistake. My second pregnancy was an answered prayer. I was already 31 years old at that time. So I was thinking it was the perfect time for me to have another baby. I am getting older. Imagine if I will have babies around 35 and above, I will be like their Grandma when they grow up.

My personal reasons why it is better to have kids around the age of '20s are

I STILL HAVE MORE ENERGY

The fact is that as we age, we usually have less energy.Baka sumakit na balakang or likod natin pag medyo may edad na.Like what I experienced with having my second baby. I can't carry my child longer period of time cause it will cause my back to ache. Having your children in your 20s helps you to avoid having to overcome that issue as you parent. You probably have more energy to do things with your children than you would if you were older. You may have more energy to run and play with them.

I WILL HAVE MORE YEARS WITH MY CHILDREN

Having children in your 20s can mean that you have more years with your children. Of course, no one knows their future. But this is typically true. All of us want as much time as possible with our children. The important thing is that we learn to cherish each day with our children, though. Ayaw ko namang busy pa rin sa work kahit nasa 60's na ako diba.Imagine niyo when my son will be 15 years old 47 na ako nun.I still have to work para makapagtapos siya ng pag-aaral.

Mas bet ko kasi I will have my own business at that age na so I will have more time with them.My goal is to be financially stable pagtanda ko.Ayaw kong maging pabigat sa mga anak ko pagtanda ko kasi they will have their own life and family.

MY CHILDHOOD AND TEENAGE YEARS ARE NOT SO HARD TO REMEMBER

When you have your children in your 20s, it can be easier to remember what is what a child and a teenager were really like, as opposed to if you have your children at an older age. It can be a little bit easier to relate to them when you have fresh memories of that time in your life. I have always felt thankful that I was in my teenage stage when I was having my children. It is easier to relate to my daughter.

WE CAN GROW UP TOGETHER

When you are in your 20s, you are still young and finding yourself, at least to a degree. It is safe to say you are really growing up together. This is a sweet way to make memories together. You will remember your children’s childhood as a time you were both growing and changing. You are generally more confident in yourself in your 30s and beyond which is also an advantage but growing together can be fun.

I AM MATURE ENOUGH TO HANDLE MOTHERHOOD

Another good thing about having your children in your 20s is that you are usually ready to handle motherhood. Having a baby in my teens is very difficult. I never had the chance to finish college.

Ending thoughts

Motherhood is very challenging so it's up to you when you are ready to be a mom. As we all know that we have to do some sacrifices if we already become a mom.

How about you guys? What are your thoughts about having a baby or kids in your 20s?
