Summary

The thought of having children in our 20s feels like an incredibly adult decision, and is one a lot of us probably don't consider. We want to protect our youth and our freedom a little bit longer, or perhaps have decided we probably will never want children.

But whether you want to have children or not, having a clear understanding of your future intentions or choices, your reproductive health, the kind of person who might make a good partner, and therefore parent, is important. More information, more foresight actually equals greater freedom and sometimes time to decide.

We break down:

  • Why you should be thinking in your 20s
  • The pros and cons of having children in your 20s
  • The argument for NOT having children
  • Fertility
  • Milestone anxiety and the pressure to find someone
  • Your stories of pregnancy, parenthood and fertility in your 20s
