Hi.
No, I do not think 19 is a good age to have a baby. I think you need to experience your new adult life before you are tied down with a family, because there things you just can't do anymore once you have kids. I think it is also good to have 3-5 years of marriage under your belt before the kids come. Kids do not bring couples together, you need a solid foundation to get through parenting together.Thirdly, what about college? It is best to get through school, then have kids. I am not saying wait til you are 30 or something though. I think most women are better off waiting til 22 or 23 (at least).
