Every person's body is different, so you can never be 100% sure. However, after the age of 35, your risk becomes higher and the chances of complications arising increases. With that being said, I've known of a lot of women who had easy pregnancies and gave birth to perfectly healthy kids after the age of 35. I think after 35, doctors mandate that you have an amniocentesis to test for any abnormalities in the fetus.
You still have plenty of time! Don't worry!

All my friends and I started at 30. (i'm 32 with an 18 month old). They say it's best to have a baby before 35. After 35 your risk for Down's syndrome goes up dramatically. That being said there are sooooooo many women that are having them up till the early 40s. I would try as soon as you can. You never know if you could have problems which could take years to try and conceive. Best of luck to you and yours.

Don't want to scare you but its always good to have first child before 30. Between 30 and 35 the chances of becoming pregnant is reduced ie you are not as fertile as you were before 30 but there are chances. After 35 you can become pregnant but there are some risks. Better yet consult your ob-gyn, your health, weight, family history everything contributes.

My doctor told me it was best to have children before 35. I'm not 35 yet but I don't have a boyfriend either. There are a lot of women who have babies in there early 40's. The chances for problems increases, but you can still have a healthy baby.

You should not get pregnant before the age of 12 because you are not comfortably developed before that age. You should not get pregnant after the age of 34 because you really don't need a teenager around the house when you get into your 50's.

You should wait until your done studying and after you get married or else you could have a lot of stress on your shoulders.

I wouldn't wait too long. You don't want to be too old to enjoy your children. I'd say in the next 5 years. Good Luck!

It is best for you and your partner to decide when it is right for the both of you.Mentally and physically.The best time would be when you both live your life and ready to settle down for the family life.

It depends on what you mean by healthy!!
If it is physical health, you shoud have a chld early (before 35).
If it is your mental health, you should have it late (after 35), or maybe never :) I understand children are a real pain, and they destroy your career!!
