What is a good age to try to have a baby nowadays???

Answer 1

Really whenever you feel ready, and are able to support a child. Although modern medicine is helping women have children much older in life, most doctors say that risks for the mother's health increase after age 35. So do her chances of having a baby with Down's Syndrome or other conditions.

Answer 2

I don't think it necessarily depends on age but it depends on where a person is financially, emotionally, physically, socially and career wise. Some people are ready to have a baby at an earlier age than other people. I personally think 25 is a good age. A female or male can be married or engaged and mature enough to have a baby by 25. I don't know why people rush to have babies, they are a life time responsibility.

Answer 3

I am 17 now, but will have my child at 18 I am 20 weeks along and I am ready. Some may think I am to young, but it is not the age it is the maturity of the person. You know when you are ready. Mentally you need to be ready and money is really good, but no one is fanatically secure. My mom still is as not and she has me and a 15 year old. I guess it is all up to the person not anyone else if you and your long term boyfriend want a child then get ready and go for it. Hopefully you go in the direction you want to go in.

Answer 4

Depends on your sex really. The latter a woman waits to have a baby, the increased risk to having problems during their pregnancy. I would wait till your late 20's or early 30's if female, a little longer if male. (33 yr old male here by the way)

Then again, look at some of the celebrities that are still having kids in their 40's. It can be done, just a greater risk of problems developing for both baby and mother.

Answer 5

Once you are married and stable in your marriage. There is a huge age range to safely have kids. But its more than just popping out your 2.5 kids. You need to have a partner that is ready for parenthood and who you trust to stick by you. You need to be able to afford the child. If you have relationship issues or anger issues, those need to be worked out before you bring a kid into the picture. The correct age for me was a decade earlier than my sister in law, and six years earlier than a friend. I don't plan to have anymore after 30. But I've been married 8 1/2 years and have a solid marriage. If there are problems, a baby will only make it worse. And please don't have a baby to keep a guy or trap him. It only hurts you and the child.

Answer 6

24

Answer 7

The age after which you are able to afford it financially, cope with the emotional demands of parenting, and have either a spouse or a long term (I'm talking years, not months) stable partner who is also interested in having a family. Maybe in your early 20's, maybe way later, maybe never.

Answer 8

I think after you get married and settle down with some one...Also when your financially and mentally ready. I think a good age would be around 24 yrs old in my opinion

Answer 9

after marriage of course but they say you are most fertile between the ages of 15-24 but I still feel that is really young. the youngest I would have a child is probably 24 or 25 year old. the younger you are, they say, the less complications.

Answer 10

I would say any age in the twenties. It all depends on how mature you are. No matter what the age is if you not mature as your age then I would say wait. These days most females are waiting to have children in there thirties.
