“I wouldn’t change a thing.”
That’s the message from Nurse Judy, who has opened up about becoming a mother at just 19, saying it remains one of the best decisions of her life.
The popular content creator revealed she never felt overwhelmed by motherhood, insisting that having a child at a young age was a positive experience she would happily choose again.
According to Nurse Judy, age is not what determines whether someone will succeed as a parent. She believes the biggest factor is choosing the right partner.
“The key is choosing a great father for your kids. Age will never matter,” she shared.
She argued that a loving and supportive partner can make parenting fulfilling, while an unhealthy relationship can make motherhood difficult regardless of whether someone has children in their teens or their 30s.
Nurse Judy also challenged the common belief that waiting until later in life automatically leads to better parenting. She said maturity alone cannot guarantee a happy parenting journey if the relationship is built on the wrong foundation.
She added that having a child with the wrong partner can leave a mother struggling emotionally and resenting the experience, no matter her age.
Drawing from her own life, Nurse Judy said she has never regretted becoming a young mum. She credits her positive experience to having a supportive father for her child rather than the age at which she embraced motherhood.
Her remarks have quickly sparked conversations on social media, with many Kenyans debating whether successful parenting depends more on age, maturity or choosing the right life partner.
