what are good ages to start having children and is 23 ok?

Answer 1

We had our first @ 23, everything is great!!
The question is are you ready?
if your answer is yes then there you go

Answer 2

There's a lot to consider when answering this question.... Are you in good physical health? Happily married? Employed? Financially sound? Do you and your significant other want children equally bad? Will where you live easily accomodate a little one? Do you have any inside pets you need to get rid of before the arrival? Do you smoke? Do you drink? Are you and your significant other equally mature enough to be responsible, loving, giving parents? Look at the answers to all these questions. If they were all positive answers, 23 is an OK age. If they weren't positive answers, there may be some areas you need to work on, and these days people are waiting until 30 or early 30s to have their first baby....not at all uncommon for today.

Answer 3

I believe that your question is quite relative. Anyone (who is in their 20's or 30's) and who is 'ready' to have children and face the responsibilities that come with it, are in the best position to have kids. Biologically for women, it is better to have their firstborns at 24 or 25 (mid 20's). And so, to start having babies at age 23 is biologically speaking, a 'OK'. But even for most women who would have babies in thier 20's or even in their early 30's, should be okay as well. What is important here is that, you are ready and prepared to face the responsibility of raising another human being. It is also at this time that you come to realize that having children, will bring about dramatic changes in your life. Your maturity and outright commitment in taking care of these kids, are indeed blessings themselves. So I believe that if you think you are ready to have kids, then go ahead :)

Answer 4

23 is a very good age to start having children. Just think if you have a child at 23, when he/she is 20, you will be a young 43 yrs. old.

Answer 5

The best age to have children is when you are old enough to understand and provide the following:
2 parents and a stable family structure, a home to live in that is safe and in a good environment, a parental income that covers food, clothing, supplies, education, and some fun, a time schedule that allows for a regular routine, and the ability to make this all last until the child is old enough to live independently.

Answer 6

As for age I would say 22 or 23 can be a start, but to have children you must have good responsiblity and be in a stable lifestyle and know how to love unconditionally!

Answer 7

Children are a huge physical, emotional, and financial responsibility. If you are married, you may be better equipped to begin a family (especially if there are two incomes). At 23, many people are getting started with their careers. Think carefully about whether or not you are ready to handle the financial strains and personal sacrifices.

Answer 8

I had my first child when I was 17, second when I was 18, and third when I was 20 1/2 years old. I think any age is good as long as you have a good head on your shoulders and are very mature and want the responsibility of taking care of something so precious.

Answer 9

Absolutly 23 is ok! A good age is when you and the other maker of the child absolutley feel prepared and ready to bring a human into the world....this is meaning financially 2, make sure you guys are stable moneywise...Best of luck!

Answer 10

Yes it is a good age, I think there isn't a good answer to your question in numbers though. I think a good age to have children is the age when you are responsible to care for the child, and have done all the schooling you want to have done. [with children it is hard to go to school, work and be a parent]

Answer 11

i think it is a great age if your ready.i have 2 kids and I'm only 22.i know what some people think but i love my kids very much.i have 2 daughters and they are sooo much fun.as long as you know you are ready and can support a baby then i say go for it.I'm married now and if i had a chance to do it again i would do the same.just make sure you ready.it really changes your life.so if you like to party and stay out late re think it.but if your ready to settle down and be responsible then have a baby :)
