Answer 2

The best time or age to become pregnant is when your'e at a mature age you and your husband has had some experience in life. Happily married, When you and your husband have decided its a good time for children in your lives. Children should come to us because we want them, not through mistakes, or wanting to trap a men and so forth. Its sad how so many of our children become victim of circumstances. That a large amount of the reason we have so much trouble in this world today. Prepare yourself, make someone of yourself, experience life, and choose a good wise family man that will appreciate children, be a happy and a willing parent before you bring a precious life into this world.

Answer 3

I would say that a women should have a baby when she and her partner is financially stable also if she's able to get the emotional support that she needs. Having a baby is a very emotional experience and she will need all the family support and love to get her through this experience. If your friends are not financially stable I would not recommend for them to have children. I know that they are "in love" but they should continue to enjoy their relationships and wait to see if that's what they really want. they have their whole lives a head of them. Being in love with someone does not mean you have to make a baby with them. Having a baby takes a lot of preparation. When the time is right it will happen. Don't Rush It.

Answer 4

This varies, but I would say mid to late 20's is ideal. Kids 16 and 17 is not a good age for child bearing, kids cannot properly raise kids. As a parent my heart aches when I see kids in this situation, it's very difficult to deal with. It's normal for early teens to experience love and all the emotion that goes with it. However, parents need to be more involved with tier kids personal lives to help them avoid a mistake that will change their life forever. Raising a child is perhaps the greatest responsibility one could have in this life. It's not to be taken lightly, and "good" parents stress this to their children. Parents that aren't very educated, who don't respect themselves or others will encourage this type of behavior. Don't ruin your life just because you "think" you've met the love of your life, when your life has just begun!!!!! When I was 16 and 17 yes I had girlfriends, and yes we were sexually active, but we praticed safe sex. Our parents were very responsibly, they knew we would experiment, so they educated us properly. And as a parent now I educate kids that are close to me, mine are grown now. It's silly to think that they will not do the same thing I did, so all we can do is guide them in the right direction so they can live a healthy, productive life. I said mid to late 20's earlier because most people are out of college and well into their careers by then. If you aren't a career person, make sure you have a job that provides a good income and good insurance so you can provide for your family properly.

Answer 5

first of all, they need to graduate from high school. second, go to college or a trade school. third, get a job, work and save money. When they've got a stable job, a place of their own to live in, then they're ready to think about having children. They're too young to have children anyway. They should be thinking about their education first. They have plenty of time to have children, besides the best age is between 25-30. By then, they'll be physically and emotionally ready to bring up a baby in the world.

Answer 6

sometimes teenagers just want a baby too feel loved the best age is when you can support your self and a baby i know from experience babies cost a lot of money like hundreds a month. that is way too young they should just enjoy the time they have together now and wait until they are older like in their 20's at least that way they have some time to be teenagers cause you cant do much once you have a baby your life pretty much stops no parties no clubs nothing its all about the baby

Answer 7

well my brother is 16 his gf is 14 and she is pregnant. They are both happy.. I dont think there is really a normal time to get pregnant. It is up to the person who is trying to get pregnant lol. Like I want to get pregnant when I get married..But I want to get pregnant before the age of 24 so.. I guess I want to get married before I'm 24 too! lol. <3

Answer 8

The best time to be pregnant is probably at the age 29-35

Answer 9

Well interestingly Oprah did a show about this.

The answer is pregnancy is healthiest in women in their 20's.

Teenagers are too young to have babies and their bodies are not fully developed yet so they are compromising themselves.

Women in their 30's are more at risk but can usually have safe, healthy pregnancies.

Women 40+ -just too risky.

Answer 10

yes it is. i think that they shoud get pregnant when they are ready and older. right now they are teens and they don't know what they are doing. it is really hard to take care of the baby. when they both have good jobs and have been in college then it would be ok. but right now they don't have enough money. if they know eachother for a long time, then maybe in 4 years

Answer 11

at least 20, it can go higher then that, and as the guy before said, be able to support so u dont ruin ur life. If u already have a baby and are still in school, may the best of luck be with you.
