I've been going back and forth on this idea, myself. My mother and granny both had their first child at 15. Now, at 22, I am childless and the first woman in my family to pursue a degree, much less a doctorate.

My bf and I would both like children, but while we are living with his mother and attending school, we just don't feel like we could support a child. I may not be on birth control, but we aren't actively seeking pregnancy. It's kind of a decision that I've left to chance, which I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I feel like if I were to become pregnant, we would manage and adjust our lives accordingly. It would certainly be a child born into a loving environment.
