It depends I was 21 when I had my daughter and I will be 23 with my second.. I felt the timing couldnt have been any better with either one of them.. I guess when you feel the time is right and you are finacially stable, and married then go for it...

Age is a number - are you married, able to give the baby food, shelter and more? I don't think a mom who is 21 is any worse or better then a mom whose 40 and put herself/job first ?
I would never put an age on a mom - but it helps to be able to support the life you want best for your child. Or a wonderful stable family (daddy)...I wouldn't suggest having a baby if you can help it unless you can provide for it and have help and support from the babys father. What age is that?
I'd say 22 ++

sorry but there is no answer for this question. Everyone matures differently, and everyone has different goals in life. You just need to sit back and think about what you want from life. Get married before you have kids. People will say wait until you've been married a while, but that's up to you. If you want to spend alone with with your husband, then wait, but if you've already been together for a while, then there's no need to unless you want to. talk to him about what you both want. Also, think about what you want to do and where you want to go in life. Do you still need to finish school? get that out of the way. Is it possible for you to build a career after having a baby? think about that. Also think about if you're going to stay home with the baby, or go to work, how much will childcare cost, who will watch the baby. Will you and your husband (or just your husband if you're staying home) make enough money to support the baby, and yourselves? You will NEVER be financially ready for a kid, so don't wait for that. Just wait until you KNOW you can provide for a baby, and are mature enough to have one. there is no age limits, just guidelines. The final choice is up to you. good luck!

I had one at age 23, I was only 23 for 1 week. I enjoy it, I am young enough to play games with him, go to the park with him, and be his friend when he gets older. I was married for almost a year when I got pregnant also, so it wasn't a mistake or that I'm a single mother either. Financially, it can be tough, but we are doing what we have to do, and I would rather have my baby than a bunch of money anyway.

The answer to this question is very subjective. Physiologically its better for females to have children when they are younger, late teens, early twenties. However, it is better to wait to have children when you are financially and relationship stable. Having children is not easy, it changes everything. It's better to be a little older and wiser before becoming a parent. Of course, this isn't true for everyone....all people are different. Age doesn't determine if you are going to be a good parent. I've known some young first time mothers who were excellent excellent parents and some older first time mothers who were not....it depends on the person, really.

i believe its not entirely an age thing unless ur like under 18years, as long as ur ready to have ababy and u have a good head on ur shoulders a partner that will stick by u and support u aswell as wanting a ababy too, be financially secure with a healthy happy enviroment to raise a baby in wat ever age u have all that then its a good 'time' to have a baby.

I was 26, my son was a surprise I wasn't planning on, but I'm glad it happened. I think I was at a good age...old enough to know better, to young to care (lol just kidding). It was good for me, but maybe it's not good for you. What do you think? Are you ready? well, ready enough, I don't think you're ever fully ready. Do you want a baby now or 9 months from now? You need to have a real heart to heart with yourself and partner.

I dont think it depends on the age. It depends if you are financially and mentally ready for parenting. It takes alot of responsiblity. There are people in their 30's and 40's that still arent "fit" to provide for a child. But if you feel that you are ready for the task then go ahead!!!
Good Luck!!

I think mid twenties is good, but it also depends on the couple, there are alot of factors. Financial stability, maturity, emotional and psychological readiness, job stability. Although people don't have all those checked off before getting pregnant, I think one or two of them should be, otherwise it may be more difficult.

Not so much age as how stable your life is. I had my daughter at 23, and I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to wait a second longer.
