When you know that you are in a secure relationship and that your bf or husband is faithful to you. Once you know that atleast till the baby is one year, you can stay at home and not work.
When you know you are mature enough to be a mother, remember a mother is the most important person in someone's life cause they are the one who guide and make you into an adult.
And if you love to have a baby.
If you are okay with the above then you are ready.
If you want an age, then I suggest 25. But 20 is fine, don't worry.
Good luck and hope you get a cute and wonderful baby.

Age is besides the point. If you feel ready to have a child and you are in a stable and loving relationship, then there's no problems with having children young. Children need a mother and a father! It only gets difficult if you are not in a good relationship or are just going out and sleeping around to get pregnant. Then you are clearly not mature enough to have a child.
Maturity doesn't always come with age. Some people I know are less mature at 30 than people I know of 20, although those are rare cases. There are girls I went to school with who have babies and they are very happy with the decisions they have made, however, I (at 20) would feel way too young to have a baby.

Well, there are girls who have kids when they are 13 or 14...but that's just wrong!! Sometimes it's a good thing to have a child when you're younger (19 or 20), but that is a very personal issue. But a woman's body usualy doesn't stop developing until after 22-24. So it would be a lot more healthy for the woman and the baby to wait until the body is completely ready to carry a child. And it's not only about the nine months that you carry the baby! Once the kid arrives... you are responsible for EVERYTHING! Raising a child is so much harder than it looks!

I was 40! I certainly know people who were much younger and things were great for awhile, but then they has problems with money, getting an education and other small things. I had a wonderful job, both of us are colledge graduates and have plenty of money for me to be a stay at home mother. I could not have done that earlier in life. I guess it is all up to how you want to raise your child. I wanted to be able to stay at home, however working mothers do a great job as well. And most younger mothers today are workers both at home and at work. There really isn't a specific age that makes it the RIGHT age or not. It totally depends on the people and how they raise their children if they were old enough or not.

This is such a personal question. Are you in a time in your life that you feel prepared to have a child? It is a HUGE responsibility you should not take lightly. My sister had a child at 18 and now he is in medical school. I didn't have my first until I was 31. My kids are still really young, I'm almost 40. My sister is 46 and she has a child in medical school!! She could be a grandma. In fact, when my nephew was born, my mom was only 38. There is no wrong answer except I imagine my sister would tell you to wait....
Being a parent is wonderful, don't get me wrong! Its just that if you really want to be a GOOD parent, you should make sure you are absolutely 100% ready for the challenge.

I wouldn't say tart, I'd say unprepared. That's not to say everyone under 20 is immature or not ready, but you're far more likely to enjoy motherhood once youve got some experience.
It's down to the person. You don't get some magical wisdom at midnight on the day of your 20th birthday; if you feel ready before then, it's up to you.
The right age? Well, providing the girl is ready and willing, 16 is the legal age.

Who can really tell you what is the beset age to have a child besides YOU? Personally, I waited to have a child until I was 34. I wanted to focus on my career and enjoy time with my husband before we had children. But that is a personal choice. If you feel you are ready for parenthood at 19 and can provide a loving environment for a child, then that's all that really matters.

I would say the right age to have child is when you feel ready. It doesn't matter if you are 20 or 50yrs old. The question you have to ask yourself is are you financially able to provide for the child, are you ready to love and teach a child, do you have a safe, happy and secure home to bring the child up in. If yes to all these questions then yes you are ready.
Hope this helps.

30 is the best age for a woman. Need time to live a little. Kids=loss of freedom. Any younger and the career will suffer too much.

Its really not about age. Its about maturity and readiness. Are u financially ready? Do u have a nice home? Are u emotionally ready, or do u go out drinking every weekend? Ask yourself those kinds of questions. Are u in college right now? How will a baby affect your life right now?
