Women are having children later in life more than ever these days due to lifestyle preferences, dedicating themselves to securing their career paths, and social trends. For example, women either aren't experiencing the same societal and familial pressures to have children early as they used to or women today just aren't responding to that pressure the same way. But that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with starting families earlier on as well. Just ask these five celebrity mamas-to-be! They're all under 30 and happily expecting.

Barrett told People that the third trimester has been the most difficult for her physically because she gets tired so easily.

"I can't do normal things that I want to do. I get so tired so quickly. I want to clean the house and make sure everything's so clean, but it's so hard to bend down and it's hard to roll over when you sleep," Barrett told People. 

"I always wanted to be a mom. It was something that was always ingrained in me from a very young age... I just can't wait to see what she looks like. It's insane to me that we are literally right around the corner from this; that she's coming very soon."
