Is it too early to get pregnant?

I am 23 years old and have been married for 2 years. Mine is an early marriage, now my family wants me to have a baby. I also want to be a mom but am worried if I will be able to take care of my baby if I have one now.
These days I have seen most ladies having babies only in late 20s.
Is it right for me to plan a baby now will I be able to do justice to the baby?
You are right about ladies having babies in late nowadays. This is generally because of late marriages and women becoming more career oriented. That does not mean that you should not be planning a baby earlier. But you must realize that taking care of a baby requires lot of commitment, time and patience. If you think you and your husband are prepared, you can go ahead. Besides, please remember that raising a baby could be quite a strain on your budget. You must be prepared for a significant increase in your monthly expenses.
Hope this helps!
dearlady,
If you are emotionally, mentally and physically prepared to have a baby then its not early. By physically I mean have you been healthy. And giving birth to a baby and taking care needs a lot of emotional and physical strength.
Actually biologically women are most fertile before 25 so you can definitely go ahead and have a baby.

Good news!! Researchers point out that women are most fertile between the age of 20 & 24. As women grow older the chance of getting pregnant falls.
So, you have one more reason to plan a baby earlier than later...
Ladies, thanks a lot for your moral boosting. Now I am really determined to have a baby. Specially when tuski pointed out about the research that tells that I am in the most fertile age group
.
Anyway am all prepared to have a baby
