Anywhere between the 25 and 35 range. I had a friend who got pregnant at 42 and everything was great.

The best age to have a baby is the one where you are emotionally, physically, and financially ready to have one. Few 15 year olds would fall into that category.
My Mom had me at 35 and I'm the oldest of three born over a ten year span. As you get older there are certain risks of birth defects and certain maternal factors, but as long as your doctor give the all clear, you should do what you think is right. Any baby you have will be wanted, planned and prepared for. That's the ideal for any baby.
Good luck!

I think it depends on the person but for me early 30's was perfect, as I didn't spend the whole time wondering what I had missed, because I did a lot in my 20's.
I think if you leave it much later it could be really hard to adjust to not having so much freedom, and also be more tiring. If you have a baby really young perhaps you don't get used to having freedom and so you wouldn't miss it.
As I said, it depends on each person and their priorities in life.
I was part of a group of 6 friends at my antenatal classes with my first child. 2 of us were 31 and we were the youngest. 2 of the others were 41 and they were probably the most fit and healthy of the lot of us, and they took to parenthood like a duck to water.
You are not selfish to want another child. Go for it and good luck.

You are totally not being selfish. I had my 11 year old at 28 and I just had a baby 7 months ago at almost 39 (the delay was due to infertility). I think any time before 45 is fine. I have more financial stability, patience and maturity than I had with my first son. Good luck!

no, you're not selfish! but in answer to your question, probably 25. Peak fertility is around 23 years old, for a woman.
I think 35 is a great time to have a baby. You are at a better place in life than at 25. I had my first baby at 30. I thought that was perfect!

Soley form a personal point of view, i would say 15 is a little young to choose being pregnant, but accidents do happen.
I think that every child/adult should finish their education. After that its your choice, and as you say you might say i will weight until the age of 30 and then not be able to have them.... waiting for the nhs to help takes years I'm sure.
If you can give your child the only 3 things that it needs in life then you should have one, (love food & water)There are so many people who want children and cant have them, but then you get the reverese side of the coin where people have them and do not want them... Life is cruel....
Godd luck and i hope you get what you want...

I think from 22-27 your at the peak of your most fertile period and ofcourse after thirty it decreases.I had my first at 24 and second at 26 and I think thats the best time to have a babies,you are more active,your body is still young enough and most of all more energy to cope with babies and toddlers and to be a sensible age when your kids will be 20 years and more so you will have something from your kids and possibly grandkids

NO you are not selfish.
I lost my first child 12 years ago.
I am now 40 and pregnant and very excited.
15 is way too young. The maturity isn't there.
So I would say 25 on up.
Actually whenever you (and your partner in most cases) feel you are ready for the responsibility of a child both physically and financially.

In your case I have to agree 35 is a good age. On the other hand I would say that it is different for every woman. There are many women who are not mature enough to raise a child and yet that does no stop them. I guess medically thought your early to mid twenties into you late 30s would be fine.
