my mom had me when she was 31, when i was 10, she was 41 (our bdays are 3days apart). 41 is aufully old. at that age all of my freinds moms were in their early 30's, so im leaning tward early 20's for having babies

The best age to have a baby is when you feel ready to have one. The younger you are when you have the baby, the fewer possibilities for any kind of complications. After the age of 40 .. the risk factors increase dramatically. Good Luck ! :)

20s to early 30s, but whenever you feel you are stable enough (in a relationship and financially). My grandma was 40 when she had my mom, and my mom was 22 when she had me, so my grandma was in her 60s when I was born and I didnt get to know her at all before she died. I have twin 10 month old girls and I am 21. I am glad because that means that when my girls are 20, Ill only be 41 and my mom will be 63. My girls will have more time to spend with my mom, which I wish was the case with my grandma.

between 20-30 is the recommended age. But anytime is OK. The woman's body knows when it is a bad time. That's why women have menopause. It is to protect us. If you want them out by the time you turn 35 then start early. If you want to have fun now and have a family later then start later. I have two girls and a boy on the way and I am 23 years old. My hubby and I plan to go traveling later in life. This way in 19 years all the kids will be out and I will only be 41 years old. (Thinking about Martinis on the beach until then though.)

Before you start having kids make sure that your future is secure. Meaning, you are done with school and have a job in your career choice. Are in a committed relationship. And can make ends meet with some to spare.
I would aim for mid 20's. I had my son a little too early. I had him when I was 19. I had alot of growing up to do and quickly. And it was a struggle financially in the beginning. But all is good now. And we had a blast. My husband and I are looking forward to just the two of us doing some traveling and so on in the very near future. Our son is 16 now.

Hey I'm 41 and i am not old!!! I have a 7 yr old and a 4 yr old. I am sooo glad i had my kids later in life because i am alot more mature and i think i am a more patient and caring mom at my age. No need to have kids early in life, experience life first, then you will have more to offer them. And my husband is 48. He is such a great dad!

it really all depends on you and what you want. If you are ready to handle the responsibilities. I'm 23 and have a 5 year old and a 5 1/2 month old and I don't regret a thing

Healthwise probably mid to late 20's or early 30's

WHen you are stable enough to afford and care for a child is the best time....I am 22 and my wife and I are having #2. We both have good jobs, own a home and have great insurance....so it is a matter for each person to decide....the younger the better though....I am only going to be 43 or so when my kids graduate....I will still be young.

I would say mid to late 20's. Try to enjoy yourself a bit before having babies.

20's or early 30's -- that way you have the energy to keep up with them.
