Typically, your water breaks and you're having contractions. If you are 10 cm dialated, and fully effaced, you're having the baby. That would be the right time.

We can only wish that our decision to have a baby is at the right time. We have no absolute idea what will happen in 9 months time after conceiving. Now, we may have good relationship, strong financial support - next 9 months where are we? The best time (in my opinion) is the time we are well prepared mentally and physically to face the unexpected - and do a lot of reading regarding parenting (although not all will be utilized, at least there is some knowledge regarding good parenting as a platform)

You know whenever you and your partner feel emotionally and financially stable. My husband and I waited 6.5 years before having a baby, we just partied a lot, travelled a lot, worked alot, saved a lot and loved eachother alot. Then when we got a bit older, we are both 30yo now, we felt like it was time for a little one, I think it was just our paternal instinct, we just both wanted it at the same time and it has been so great to see our baby grow in my belly, my husband is so amazing, he massages me, he caresses my belly, he talks to the baby all the time and he seems to be more excited that I am, of course I am but he is just something else, since he cannot carry the baby he wants to be involved in this as much as he can. I can tell you that 5 years ago he would have probably not been like this and I know we were just not ready. you have to build a STRONG MARRIAGE first, full of LOVE AND TRUST, then think about that little one.

When you want a baby is a good time to have one. There is no right way to make sure everything will be perfect, we just do the best we can and remember if everyone waited until they were finacially set for a baby and had a house and so on and so fourth no one would have kids!

If you know that having a baby will make your relationship stronger. Some people want to see the world before they have children, but my mother saw the world with three children. I just knew it in my heart of hearts that my husband would be a great father and he is. Having a bad time in relationships doesn't help having a baby. There will be no time for yourselves to cope with your negative relationship. You will know when the time comes

It's really hard to define the "right" time to have a baby, but personally, I've simply set the goals that I want to accomplish before I have children.
Do you want to travel without children? (There's no right or wrong answer to this, only the answer that is right or wrong for you. You may want to explore the world unhindered, or you might want to share your travels and experiences with your children.)
What do you want for your children? (For me, I want to give them a childhood at least as good as mine - I feel that my parents gave me everything I needed and most of the things I wanted. Most of all, I had parents who were willing to give a lot of time, even when they worked.)
How are your other relationships? (As previous posters have mentioned, having a baby won't improve a relationship that's in trouble.)
Is your partner (if you have one) ready for children? Do you share common goals for what you would provide to a child?
Hopefully this will give you some things to think about to decide if you're ready. Best of luck!

When you are mature enough to take on the responsiblity of raising a child, when you are emotionally and financially stable enough to do so. If you're neither then it's not the right time.

There is no right time to have a baby. Its a leap of faith. As long as you are mentally prepared you should be OK.

If you wait for the "perfect" time it will never come. If you are in a healthy relationship with your partner & financially "making it" you MIGHT be ready. Good luck!
