Answer 1

Answer 2

There is nothing wrong in having babies while in your 30's. My mom had my brother when she was 38 and he was and is healthy.
I had my son when i was 21 (he was planned) and now i am 27 thinking about having another one by the time i get to be 30.

I think the right age well over the age of 20 and when you are ready. If you are wanting to live your life and work , all of that now then do it cause once you have a baby that is it ...it isn't about you anymore.
I would live it up while you can cause once you have a baby all of what you want is put on the back burner.

Good luck

I'm 20, my mother is 38. I also have an 8 year old sister, a 6 year old brother and a sister that will be 4 in April. My mother has a high miscarry rate. She has had a miscarrage ever other pregnancy, even when she was young. I think that if you wait until your in your late 40s then you might have a prob., but 30-32 you should be fine.

Answer 4

If you are healthy go for it, getting pregnant and having a child isn't something that has age requirements, just human requirements, good parenting skills and common sense. I know women who have had babies in their 50s, that's not me, but hey it works for some. So don't listen to people, because most people who give advice are pushing what they think is good for them, only you know what is good for you, it is your life, live it and bring a child into the world when you are ready, not when other people are ready, you have to do the 9 months and then every second, minute, hour, day, week, month and year for the rest of your life until God calls you home, which is the way it should be.

Answer 5

I personally don't think there is a "right" age, as it really depends on the person, the situation and if htere was a "right" age then the population would be only booming at a certian time.

Its always a risk waiting until over 30 to start trying to concieve as you get older and closer to menapause (which can come at differant ages for different women) you don't develop as meny eggs and they are an 'older' egg which may have trouble been fertilised. This is not always the case some women find it easy to fall pregnant at 30 but more women have problems concieveing and have to try IVF which can be expencive.

I am a very young mum but its my life and I wouldn't change it for anything. I looked at where I wanted to be when I was 40 and how old my kids will be. I was on crontriception when I fell pregnant with my son and daughter.
My son was born when I was only 17. He saved my life, got me out of a situation I should have never gotton myself into but he made me grow up and live my life for the better. I am no longer with his father as that was the situation I should never have gotten into. I was a single mother which was hard but I met a wonderful man at 18 and fell pregnant by him, having my daughter at 19, we got married at 20 and are now expecting our last baby number 3 in March of next year, we will be 21.
Our children are 2 years apart each and this is how I wanted it, even though we only planned this last baby, the others were concieved on a form of contriception.

My life plan was to get married at 25 and have children after that, life is strange and works out differently then planned but everything happens for a reason. When I met my husband at 18 we knew we would get married so at 19 I asked him to marry me and picking a date was by me looking at where we wanted to be in 20 years, It worked out if we got married this year and tried for a baby at the end of the year to have it about Juns next year it was our perfect plan. It didn't work out that way. But by the time we are 40 all our children will be 18 and older, ready to be out in the world and we can have our time.
We will still be young enough to enjoy our grandchildren and even our grate grandchildren.

Having a baby at 30 or older, you will be over 50 before your starts to live there life and even older to experance and enjoy your granchildren. I wanted to be able to go to my grandchildrens weddings and meet their children without been 'old' but thats just my decision.

Answer 6

There isn't a "right" age to get pregnant. You don't get pregnant until you want to. 30-32 Isn't to old either, i've heard of people having children at 40. Although i wouldn't wait that long seeing as the risk factor of your baby having metal/physical disblities, can increase the older you get.

Answer 7

I am 31 and my firts baby is due anyday now. I always knew I wanted children but waited until I was in my 30's to do so as I wanted to gather some work experience and travel before I had them. I think beginning 30's is a great age to have children and its definately not too late to have them around this age

Answer 8

My wife is 37 and we just had our first baby boy 2 weeks ago. He is in perfect health. She never drank or smoked through her pregnancy, and was considered to be a high risk none the less. Through our public hospital system it meant that checkups were more frequent. I reckon if you don't abuse your body through social activities year after year you'll be right. Being a bit older makes you a bit wiser, and you certainly appreciate the little miracle once he/she is born.

Answer 9

I don't think 30-32 is too late to get pregnant, but I wouldn't push it past 35. There are risks associated with it, and the likelihood of your child having mental disabilities is significantly increased when you do so. So my advice: get pregnant as soon as you can to avoid any problems! (and Congragulations in advance!) :)

Answer 10

For older people it is more likely for the baby to have down syndrome and there is no right or wrong age to have a baby it all depends on how mature u feel
