Literal meaning: The Nurse is telling Juliet to think about marriage — girls younger than Juliet in Verona are already mothers, and the Nurse herself was a mother when she was Juliet’s age.
Deeper understanding for the plot/character: This shows the Nurse’s practical, maternal view that girls should marry young and it explains why she encourages Juliet to marry Paris, which creates tension with Juliet’s secret love for Romeo and later makes the Nurse seem to betray Juliet’s trust.
Simple sentence (9th-grade level): The Nurse says girls younger than Juliet are already having babies and that she was a mother at Juliet’s age, so she thinks Juliet should get married soon.
