I am 27 years old now,I just married two months ago.My parents and parents-in-law all ask us to have a baby.But my husband and I don't want to have a baby so early though I like baby very much,we plan to have a baby when we 30,but they don't agree. So,I want to know your opinion.When do you think it is suitable to have a baby? Is it not good to have a baby in 30 years old?I am confused.

Its all dependant on how ready you are. I dont think its really a good idea to say 'oh we'll have a kid when we're 30' because then you both feel tied to that commitment and it wouldnt be fair on the baby you have together if you're not still in a completely commited relationship then or if you're not financially stable etc. When you're ready to have a baby, you'll know. You'll be in the perfect place with your relationship and it will feel right in that sense, and you should be in a financial position where you would be able to support a child. Obvioulsy you should also have somewhere for the baby to live when he or she does come along, so you'll need a living space big enough for a little bundle of joy. So in answer to your question, I think there is nothing wrong with having a baby at 30, in fact it is good as you will have had a chance to make the most of being young, but I dont think you should be planning a pregnancy based on your ages. What if you dont get pregnant straight away? Its quite normal for some couples to be trying to get pregnant for over a year before it happens for them. Best of luck :)

Yes I do like babies. It feels great to have a baby. Hey, you're already 27 and it is just right for you to have a baby at your age. You and your husband may be established financially when you reached the age 30, but you must also think about the possibility of having a tougher time getting and staying pregnant at that age. And you know what? According to some experts, there is a big chance for women over the age of 25 to deliver a child with chromosomal abnormality. Fertility also starts to decline at age 30. However, this occur gradually. Anyway, having a child is really up to you and your husband. Good Luck!

I like babies. But have baby when two of you are both ready. Also it is not the fact that you will not enjoy some time together. so enjoy.

Im 22 and I love babies but it does not at all mean that I will have them in the next 5 years. So one just need to be physically and mentally ready to have one.

I think you should have a baby soon. Your parents will have more fun time in the rest of life
