Do you think its better to have babies before you are 30???

Question

I'm 25, and can quite loudly hear that bloomin' clock ticking !

Answer 1

Oh yeah! number one, your eggs are more fresher and plus having kids before then ensures you have more energy to keep up with your kids while they growing up! im 26 expecting my first child - pop em out now while u have energy! and plus there are less problems with your pregnancy when your younger! good luck

Answer 2

Biologically, the answer would be yes. Pregnancy is usually a little easier on your body in your 20s, and that's also when you are most fertile.

But of course, you also have to consider whether or not you are financially and emotionally ready. For some people, this doesn't happen until 30+. It isn't bad to wait. Early 30s is still a fine time to have children, and you really don't have to worry about much until you're at least 35. Some women will have a much harder time conceiving once they hit 35, and pregnancies in women over 40 are considered high-risk.

Answer 3

It's a personal choice. The risks to you and your baby increase as you get older, but there are always risks and these days many women over 40 are having healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. My advice, the best thing you can do is make sure you're in a good place in your life (financially, mentally, relationship) before you have children. I had my first at 35, she's now 13 months and we hope to have another when I'm about 37. We didn't wait on purpose it just worked out that way, we enjoyed our six years together pre-children - and now we're deliriously happy being parents. Try to be patient, enjoy this time in your life....don't rush it, motherhood will definitely be worth the wait. :)

By the way, I had a very easy pregnancy, no complications at all, and my daughter is perfect.

Answer 4

Some women are chosing to wait longer, some start earlier. I think it all comes down to when you are ready, financially, emotionally, if you plan to finish school, things of that sort. I don't think there is any set time. For when i wanted to be young and have my children done by the time i was 30. Its worked out great. I have 2 1/2 year old twins and im pregnant with my last, and im 23. I love it that im young, i really enjoy my kids and wouldnt have changed a thing, but i was also married, my husband is in the Army and we have gotten lucky to be blessed. The twins are adopted and now we are being blessed with our last. Whatever age you decide is right for you. Good luck!!

Answer 5

NO WAY!!! I am 32. my first daughter was born at 30. At 25 my wife and I began to try and had no luck. We then tried again at 29 and poof. Looking back I was not nearly as finacially secure or ready. My sister had her kids at 24 and 26. She has much more troulbe than my wife and I. No time is the right time, but do not fear a silly marker like 30, it is just another number. Also from the age of 25 to 30 my wife and I went on vacations and had the best years of our marriage. And now we truly feel blessed to have children and do not take them on as a burden.

Answer 6

Yeah I think it is, but then again their are older mothers who are glad they waited. I'm 21 and have a four month old little girl. I would have loved to wait a couple more years, but accidents happen. I'm glad I have her though. I'm still young enough that I can handle the sleepless nights and still manage to get through work the next day. I'm confident that in the next few years to come I will have the energy to keep up with her running around all over the place!! It's nice to know that that I'm young enough to be able to see my daughter grow up and will be able to have tons of fun with her. My mom and I are 22 years apart and as I grew up she was my best friend.

Answer 7

It is better physically, both for the woman and the baby, to give birth between ages sixteen and twenty-eight. As a person passes age thirty, their body turns from growing to deterioration, making pregnancy and childbirth more difficult. In addition, a woman begins making and storing her eggs when she is as young as six months old. The older a woman is when she gets pregnant, the older the egg was, so there are higher risks of birth defects.

Mentally, over thirty can be problematic because most people are set in their ways by that age. However, a person is usually more mature and able to handle life better.

Answer 8

It all depends on the female having the child. I had a pregnancy with no complications, no illness, no difficulties, and I was only 19 when I gave birth to my now 8 yr old son. Now, at 26, I had every complication you can think of. I had every illness and the pregnancy was very very hard on me. I had pre-eclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension, morning sickness, severe weight loss in the beginning of the pregnancy because I was not able to eat anything. I was put on moderate bed rest in February, complete bed rest in March, and my labor was induced in April. My daughter was not due until May 22. I was hardly at 36 weeks and the Dr said I couldn't carry her anymore that she had to be delivered. I fully believe my age had everything to do with it. But then again the next 26/27 year old may have a completely different situation.

Answer 9

you will possibly desire to evaluate getting married first until now making a baby. that is because of the fact which you pay attention people say approximately problems having a baby as a woman get older, does not propose that is alright to have a baby who might have of challenge having no father or irresponsible father. 27 isn't previous in any respect. i might propose you to get married and get a dedication from you BF then have a baby.

Answer 10

I'm not sure it's better - but on our first visit to the Hospital (for our scan and chat with Midwife and Doctor) it frightened the life out of me when the Doctor showed us the scale of potential problems with the age of the mother (ie the figures for potential problems goes down to DOUBLE figures once you hit about 30....) that's my opinion and maybe people hoping to wait till later on to have babies should have all this information to hand before making their decisions.

I had my first at 26, second at 29...keep you posted on number 3!!

Best of luck, but if you feel it's right and you've got a luvvly partner then why not??

Answer 11

It depends on your situation. No one rule will suit all people. We waited until my wife was 32 before we had our son - it worked well for us. I know people who have had kids at 40 - it worked for them. If you're healthy, in a stable relationship, and can afford the cost of a kid - and believe me, it will cost you in ways you never expected! - then go for it if you want. If not, you still have time.

But if you're struggling financially now - maybe paying off student loans, or your job is not secure, or you're behind on the rent and you have a stack of credit card bills, or your spouse or partner is around only when it suits him, then I'd strongly advise you wait. A baby is not a fashion accessory or a toy - it's a human being. You owe it every bit of advantage you can provide, and that means a stable environment to grow up in. If you don't have that, you still have time to work on that before you get pregnant.
