You two should get married first. I had my first baby at age 19. I was married and ready. That's just me though. Some people are never ready to have a child. Our second child will be born when I am 22. Some people are just ready to be parents sooner then others. Just make sure that you are both ready.

I would respect his wishes - but are we ever really ready for a child? It is the most precious thing to share with someone. I would have to say have a baby at around 27 so you can appreciate it so much more. I would do it before 30 due to the risks associated after 30. Make sure you both are ready it is a big responsibility, but so worth it.

Well its hard to just say ok when you are a certian age its time, you have to both feel ready for a child since it is a total life change! Personally, I am 24 and I want to have kids by the time I am around 29 ... but we will see what happens and see where I am by then... good luck! It will all work out!

Any age at which point you are mature enough. I'm mean with in reason. 24 is a good age. I got pregnant when i was 22 and again when i was 24. Its perfect because when I'm around 40 or so i will have the house to myself again. I do know people who have conceived at the age of 35 but they wont be able to retire as soon as they hoped because they will still be looking after their kids. Me and my husband ( common law ) were thinking about kids but in the end the first one came as a surprise and its the best mistake we ever made. Any age is a good age when both of you are ready. Good luck.

I think maturity rules over age. I also think for the sake of your baby that you should be married first. A child needs both its mother and father. I look at my cousin and the father of her child...they aren't together and she has to do everything. Her kid will never know what it's like to have a real dad.

I'm not sure, but I didn't have my first one until I was 26 (a month away from 27). My biggest factor about having children later in life is being too old to give them the attention they need. Are you really ready for the responsiblity?

in my opinion you should wait until you are married to have children. i t is natural for you to want a child with the man you are in love with. he should be ready to marry you and he should marry you before you have a baby together. You should tell him what you want and you should talk about it with him this may open his eyes!!! you also want to make sure you are able to take care of the child!!! stable home/ relationship, stable job etc....

the earlier the better, my girlfriends parents are both under 50 and we are having our baby. My parents are in thier 60's. How old to you want to be when your kids move out and you become a grandparent? Just make sure you are ready and can handle it financially, but I'm sure you dont need to hear me parenting you. Good luck
