good age to have a baby?

Answer 1

anything after 20....Depending on your financial situation and the foundation you have set up for your kids.

Answer 2

Different ages have different benefits..When you are younger, your body is more healthy (late teens, early 20's)--definitely--and can take more stress, etc..but you are not as emotionally or mentally prepared...When you are in your late twenties you are more ready and probably more settled and still in good shape...When you are in your early thirties, the clock starts ticking--you are still considered healthy and you are way more emotionally, financially, and in every way prepared for a child....As you approach 35+ you hit the age where it becomes "a big deal" to have a child--that's when all the mandatory tests and extra screening needs to be done by medical personnel to cover themselves--and to make sure your baby is okay--because the chances for something being wrong with one of your eggs goes WAY up...After that, it continues--people get more emotionally capable and mature and also financially able to have kids, but physically, it gets tougher...

I know a woman who has adopted 2 kids --she is close to 50--but she will be a great mom--she can afford everything and is bright, mature and creative.

My friend had a child in her mid-twenties and in her early thirties and said her body was WAY different the second time--that it was harder..and she is pretty thin and fit..Another friend said it was easier because her body was used to it....

Answer 3

The best time to have a baby is when you and your spouse are both ready.. Having a baby before you are ready is very hard on your marriage. So there is no set age. Some people are more mentally and financially ready than others. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

When you are ready. Idealy between 25 and 28, 27 is supposed to be the perfect age but everyone is different. I think between 20 and 30, anything under 18 is far to young and anything over 32 is too old because in both cases you are putting your self and the baby at very high risks.

Answer 5

There is no "real" good age to have a baby. Biology will say 20's but many woman have kids in their early 30's and late 30's, especially because of financial reasons. You can have babies in your 40's but it can be harder to conceive and to carry one.

Answer 6

Early 20's definitley. I had my first at almost 21 and my second at 23. Great pregnancies, no problems.....Then I had my 3rd at 27 and now Im 30 with our 4th and I have had the hardest time ever. Incompetent cervix, severe morning sickness, premature baby with my 3rd.. You name it I have probably had it with these last 2 pregnancies. I feel old and decrepit..lol. It has all been worth it in the end, but alot harder on me than when I was in my early 20's

Answer 7

I'm 28 and just had my first. My older sister is 30 and pregnant with her first. I wanted to be younger but at 28 i'm established in my career, I've been married for 9 years, I own a home and I don't have a TON of debt. I think i'll be able to enjoy this time more since I have more. I

Answer 8

If you wait to have a baby until you at least 30 years old, your body is equally at risk for developing breast cancer as someone who has never been pregnant.
Earlier than 20, and sometimes the Mom's body is still growing. She is more at risk for some pregnancy complications.
Obviously, marriage is a must for a stable environment for babies, children AND moms:)

Thanks for reading and God bless!

Answer 9

I would say once you graduate or get married, once that happens. you cant just decide on whcich age you want to have one. you have to find the right person and at least move in with them.so the age range would be about 23-32.

Answer 10

I would say mid to late 20's to early 30's. You have the energy, you have the wisdom, and when they get older you can still get back to whatever you want to do w/o "losing too much time"

Answer 11

Sometime between 22 and 40. For me, it was 34. For my hubby, it was 37.
