It's all up to you...nobody else can tell you what the right age is for you.

I think it's wonderful that you have chosen to start a family! And if you are thinking you are too old at 33, you need to wipe that thought out of your head! Even though i have 2 kids and i'm 27, i think 33 is a nice age to start a family, i know lots of women who have done it, and it's perfectly fine! The idiots on here who are saying it's too old are prob just immature kids, who think you are ancient when you hit your 20's and 30's!!!!! My aunt had her first child when she was 39, and a friend of mine started her family at 32, because she worked before that. Good luck with everything and i wish you all the best in the future x x

There is no right age to have a kid. It is all when you are ready. The ideal way of doing it is at least wait until you are financially stable and you are mentally able to raise a child. That's not always the case though. You can be a great mom at the age of 13 or 40 it all depends on the type of person you are. Don't rush it though and don't do it for someone else. Those are not reasons to have a child. Do it when you are ready and able. Good Luck to you and I am sure you will be a great mom :)

Well, considering your age you just aren't two teenagers, so where is the problem? Surely, he is right because at 36 there is nothing else to wait further (aside from economical or health problem). On record it's better to have children as soon as possible to avoid to be rusty and obsolete when the offsprings will be young then. Besides, younger parents can manage better the heavy situations.
I think it's just time for you to play the field!
Then if you don't like children or want none, the situation is different!

You are at the perfect age. If you and your husband feel like you accomplished a lot with each other..jobs, trips, together time then you can dedicate your life to a baby and not feel like you are missing out. Once that baby comes, it's all about the baby...very little date nights and alone times with each other as new babies are exhausting so be prepared. I had my daughter at 25... and my son at 34...feb 3, 2006 was when he was born...he is now almost 11 months old and i was way more ready at 34 years old than 25 years old. Have fun trying and enjoy the baby when it comes

Yeah, I really don't think there is a "right" age to start a family! However, I see that you are 33. There's no time like the present, not to play bio clock on you. Although odds are that you will conceive with no difficulty, there is a chance that you won't. And the earlier you are when you start ttc, the longer you will have to figure out what's going on if you have trouble conceiving.
Although, if you do not feel ready, then don't do it! If you feel that you are ready, then get crackin'!

The right time is when ever is right for you. At the end of the day even if your partner s reeady you are the one who will have to carry the baby and in most cases the main responsibility of caring for the baby falls on the mother.
Having said that I am 36 and had my 1st baby last year and I wish I had never waited she is the most wonderful that has ever happened to me.
Another consideration is that fertility reduces as you get older and risks of complicvations increase.
Good luck with whatever you decide

only yous can answer that, me personally i would have pulled my hair out if i was 33 without kids. i had my 1st at 20, 2nd at 21 and 3rd at 23. i had such a strong maternal feeling to have a baby and after having my first it just conformed what i already knew, that i wanted to have lots of kids, my husband is 1 of 6 so he was as keen as me to have a few. when yous both feel you are ready go for it, i wish you all the luck in the world, having your own baby is great there nothing else to compare it to xxx

Within reason there is no 'right' or 'wrong' age, its really when you both feel ready for the commitment and responsibility of a child. Obviously it helps to have good financial back up and the support of your partner but lots of women chose to have children planned & unplanned at all stages of their lives at different ages. Talk to your husband about it, think about how you really feel, if it is something you both want then go for it. If you still feel you havent really reached the time you want to begin a family that is not wrong either, you are still young. You will know when the time is right, regardless of age.

There isn't really a right age, however I wouldn't leave it too much longer, they say 35 is when there is more risk of having a downs child, although many don't , you would be in a higher risk category......Once you hit the age of 35 you have to have more tests, some are painful too.. If you and your hubby are ready then go for it... Good luck and all the very best!!!

You do not want to have one at the age 16 or 17 or even younger. I think the appropiate age would be to have a baby around the age 20 or older or atleast around the age 18 because you are out of highschool.
