Forget age and think situation! I am going on 24 and I have 1 wonderful little girl and a little boy coming any day (or hour) now! I think our age was fine as I had Eva when I was 21 and my husband and I are very mature for our age. But when it comes to having children we now realize our situation (financial, home, etc) could have been better. We do wish we had waited longer and had a longer marriage before getting pregnant, but we are VERY happy now and we are loving being parents.
So I say as long as your husband has a good job, your finances are in order, and you have had some time alone as a married couple... then go for it!

Age isn't as big a deal as your maturity and selflessness. If you can take care of a child financially, and have a lot of emotional support, as well as being willing to give up your social life, then you can think about having a child. I got pregnant at 24, and I still wasn't ready, but I don't think you ever are.
Also, I don't think anyone should have a child until they are at least 21 or 22. There is so much fun to be had as a kid and young adult. I defiantly enjoyed my early 20s, and I would not change it for the world. If I had had a child at that time, I would have missed out on a lot (or my child would have missed me).

There's really no "best age" to get pregnant. I think it's when you're ready. People feel ready at different ages. Some feel like they're prepared when they're in their 20's, while others feel it's still too young. Don't go for advice on here, it's all opinion. It's really up to you. However, I do not recommend getting pregnant in your teens.

Age is just a number... Get pregnant when you are in a loving stable environment like marriage... & when your body is able to withstand the stress of pregnancy! If you are overweight, lose a few/underweight gain a few! I don't think there is a magic #. Just be sure, you are as ready as can be! Then enjoy the ride!

I was told that the ideal time for a woman physically was between 25 and 30 years of age. This seems to be outdated wisdom

It depends on your maturity level, of both persons involved and that varies with each case. Some people never should have children. My oldest daugher was 20 when she had her first daughter, however I don't think she was ready. Now she had another child nine years later and she is a better mom, an excellent Mom, now than she was when she was younger.
Sit down and think about your situation and how both of you feel about it.

i don't think that there is a right answer to this question! it depends on the person and the situation. i have friends who started their families at like 19 and 20. i however decided to wait so i could get through school. i'm 25 now and expecting any day. i'm still scared and my husband and i still both stress about finances and being new parents although we are both out of college and have good jobs. if you think your ready and your partner is also then its the right time for you. good luck!

young. My first pregnancy I was 23-24 and now I am 30. It is way harder at 30. But on the other hand... I am alot better mom at this age (but not as energetic)
