Best age to have a baby?

Question

When is the best age to have a baby, do you know?

Answer 1

well there, it would depend if youre meaning for fertility or for personal reasons, if you mean fertility wise, the best time is before you turn 35, once you turn 35 your eggs start to age, but it is still possible to get pregnant up until you go through menopause, though your fertiltiy declines as you age.

But as for when its best to have a baby that does change with each individual couple, some people want to have thier babies young so theyre over and done with early and they can be young enough to enjoy thier grandchildren, where as other people like to wait until theyre financially secure and have a good career stability first. Thankfully with the help of IVF a lot of ladies have extra help if they do wait too long.

not sure what the thumbs down is for, its true, too many women wait until thier late 30s only to find its much harder and they do need help.

Answer 2

i think your late 20's is mature enough to provide for the baby, cause most of my friends had there bby's when there like 19 or even 20 and there like pratically struggling, "i cant go out, i have to watch the baby", "I have to work night shifts, so i can provide food for the baby", "i dont have any money for myself, because i have to buy diapers and food for the baby and my boyfriend left me on my own", etc. i dont think i can go through that. so i think at least in your late twenties, you will be more financially protected and you can hire a babysitter and you wont have to worry a thing. i wanted to have a bby when i was 20 too but then i look at htose people and i say to myself, i cant do it on my own right now, im gona finish my education and get a good job and know when im ready to have it. Not only that you should think about, you should also find someone who wont leave you no matter what so when you find the right guy and you know when the time is right and have everything coverd from 1,2,&3, then i think thats a more mature age to have a baby.

Answer 3

As long as ur 18 & older is a good age. But if ur still in school and working u should finish ur education 1st. Get urself situated & stable financially. And as long as u have a baby by the age of 34. After that it'll be a high risk pregnancy. Also make sure it's the right man, some don't like taking responsibilities.

Answer 4

i would say, late twenties & on
i only say that because of my experience,
but i also feel that no one should be judged. each person is different and so long as a baby is loved and cared for, mom & dad's ages do not matter. a baby is alot of work and responsibility and takes alot of time, but is also very fun and rewarding and fills your heart with so much joy. there isn't anything better than seeing your baby smile. babies are a blessing at any age.

Answer 5

there is no best time. everyone thinks that the time THEY choose to have children is the best. you just have to do what is good for you and don't worry about the rest. i'm 20 and 19 weeks and 2 days pregnant my baby will be born appr. 1 and a half months before i turn 21 but now is the perfect time for me. I'm in a lovign relationship, have my own place, and getting everything in place before the baby gets here.

Answer 6

Ideally you don't want to have one at too young of an age when you are not financially set but you do want to have one at an age where you can still be reasonably young to see your child grow up, I say about 30 is the perfect age.

Answer 7

whenever your ready. I was 18 when i fell pregnant (not planned) but i was happy and healthy so why not? Im 20 now with a 7 week old baby girl and i couldn't be happier. I think there is TOO young like 15 or under but who am i to judge..

Answer 8

well I'm 33 now and I'm just trying for my first but I hate I waited this long only because of my patience and I also waited until I got married so it is just up to you but I wouldn't do it at an early age like my early 20's I would explore the world some because having a child does changes things

Answer 9

Well, don't exactly know what's the best age...But I had my first at the age of 26.... I think when you are financially stable and mature enough to be responsible for another life , then you will know....

Answer 10

I say 30. That way you've had nice long time putting yourself first, so you'll have no regrets. 30 is an age where you are financially secure. But you're still young enough to do things with your kid (that you'll have the energy to do it :P ) but you'll also be old enough to have gained some good common sense about things.
