If everyone waited to have children, there wouldn't be any around. That's why there are so many oopps babies. lol Our son wasn't planned, but we were elated once I found out I was pregnant. And no- I don't agree with rushing into marriage at all. Don't marry because of a baby either. I was 23 when I had my son, and we are very happy. I wasn't married when I became pregnant. We are now, but it wasn't because of our son, it was because of our love for each other.

I don't think age has much to do about it. It is more a sense of when the right time would. For me I was 26 when I wanted a bbay I was 27 when he was born. I had my second at 29. It was perfect timing in my case.
Oh and marriage blah...We never got marrried .We were together 6 1/2 years before we DECIDED to have baby. I firmly believe unless you are religious (we aren't) marriage isn't for everyone. It is a church creation which didn't occur until the 15oo's because the church forced it in order to raise money for the church. Once upon a time people just picked their mates and shacked up. We have been happily together 8 1/2 years without a marriage certificate!

Whenever one is physically, mentally, and financially capable of caring for a child and also mature and responsible enough to teach their child the morals and values needed to survive in todays world. Therefore, I don't think there is a certain age because some people are ready earlier than others and much later than some people. There are no age requirements for a woman to be a great mother to her child.

I think you have to think of a lot of factors. Are you and your husband both ready to take on the responsibility of raising a child. Are you financially stable to meet the demands (unexpected trip to the hospital, etc.) of a new baby, are you eating healthy and preparing your body for bearing a child, etc. I think it's important that you are married in order to have a child; a child deserves a mother and father. Also, that you are both in agreement on conceiving. I don't think there's a given "right time". I think you just come to that conclusion. Just be sure you can support your child and take into consideration all the changes it will have. Some mothers-to-be forget that they will be emotionally demanded from their child which takes away "us-time" with your husband. Best wishes!

I think the best age to have a child is when you are finacially, emotionally, and physically ready. Not all women are the same. There is no specific time in which a woman should concieve. Whenever you are responsible for the change is when you are ready and only you can make that desicion.

I think when you are financially and emotionally ready for a baby is the best time I dont think it has to do so much with age I think it's more of when you yourself are ready If you feel that you are ready for a baby then I say go for it

Physically, the ideal ages are 21-35.. REALISTICALLY it is when you feel 98% that you are ready. No one is ever 100% ready from any aspect.. all these other people on here telling you "when you're financially, physically, emotionally and mentally ready".. Thats is a bunch of crap. Its when you feel that you can mostly handle the responsibility. No mother on here can sit up here and say they did everything by themselves, thats a lie. If you think you're ready.. do it!

I think it's right when you have grown up a bit and have fully pre-pared yourself emotionally, financially and physically. Having a baby is a lifetime commitment. There is no "perfect" age.

I think the right time is when you are married; in a stable, loving, committed, sold marriage; & when your husband also wants a baby.
When you have a good job, a good income, some money saved up and have little debt. Also owning your own house is nice.
