Different people have different ideas that people should have baby at different ages. I don't know when should we have baby. I see many people at my age have already be pregnent. But I think I am still young, haha. Dear friends, what do you think about such problem?

When I was young I told myself I will have a baby when I am 28 years old so I am ready enough for the responsibilities. But when I am already 28 I feel that I am not ready yet to have a baby and now I am 29 and I am pregnant. And I am ready now to have a baby and become a mom, to have a family. So I guess there's no specific age to have a baby If it's Gods will then you will have.

Yes! I agree with you, hlfbldmom. There's no specific age. Congratulations! You're so lucky because you'll be a mom soon. I can never be one. It makes me feel so sad.

how old are you then? it actually depends on your readiness rather than on your age. there are some who have babies at an early age and can do well with it while there are also some who have babies at a later age that also do bad..but if you are talking about your biological clock, having it at an earlier age will be better as your reproductive system will be a lot stronger for it.

I think that it is best to have a baby is at a stable time with a home and enough money to live on. Biologically the twenties are a lovely time to have a baby. I believe the best time if the parents are in the right situation are between ages twenty five and thirty. Many ladies have a baby between age thirty and thirty five years old. I think that is quite a good time to have a baby born. It is very late to try to get pregnant between ages thirty five years old and thirty nine years old. I think that is the latest for having a baby born. It can be challenging to get pregnant after age forty and then the pregnancy can become high risk. There is a worry if the lady can get pregnant at all after age forty. I had my daughter born when I was thirty six years old and my disabled son born when I was thirty four years old. I had my first son born when I was twenty two years old.

It is advisable to become pregnant between the age group of 21 to 30.Lower limit is set because the girl will be mature enough and mentally ready and prepared to rise the baby.Going above 30 will involve complication for the mother and baby during pregnancy.Apart from this,people will decide based on the number of children they want.

I think 24 age is good means start from 24 and we can born till 40 years of age. Some time if marriage age is less like 20 then 22 years is also good but less than 18 is not good.

It is not good to be pregnant too early or too late. But it really needs enough reponsibilities and preparation.

most people said that 25 is the right age to get married and having a baby, because they said that the age of 30 , it will be increasingly difficult for a woman to give birth because of constraints will be even greater. But back to ourselves, whether we're ready or not to have a baby at the age we are right now

Take your time to be mentally prepared to have and raise a baby.I am in a medical field and the post natal period always involves counselling to the mother to make her mentally fit to raise the child.Be sure that you have made up your mind to take the responsibilities

Some people tell me that females should have babies at about 25-29 years old. And now I don't know when I am a mother, whether I can do well.

The ideal age for me is between 22 to 25 at that time if you are graduated in the age of 19 youcan have a job and can be a succesful one before reaching the age of 25. Bearing a child in the right age can reduce the risk of miscarriage and the development of the child inside the womb can take care much better. But of course sometimes we really can't plan things according to what we want.

In my country, it is so hard to graduate in the age of 19. He will marry sooner if he doesn't go to school to study. But I think whenever we have baby, we have to prepare well.

Scientifically, a woman/girl's ideal age for pregnancy is when she reaches maturity, because our body (women) needs to be prepared for the changes. That is why early pregnancies is really dangerous to both the mother and the baby. Secondly- mental stability is also very essential when it comes to this stage.

Scientifically, a woman should bear a child when she's between 25 to 35. I believe that's about the right age to be able to get pregnant and deliver with minimal complications and health hazards. However, there should also be some maturity and readiness in psychological and emotional aspects. Of course, financial capability is also a must. So, when one feels that they are healthy, ready and mature enough to live a life with extra baggage, then they surely can join the club!

we should think first if we could already can provide the needs, then you can have one. though for me you could have a baby if you have a work, and not by depending on your parents to sustain the needs of the baby, because in the end the child will suffer if you could give your responsibilities to them :)

If the married couple are ready for having a baby, then there will be no hassle to have their own. Some factors made the people can not bear a child, the reason medical conditions or they are not capable to raise a child yet.

Yes, it really needs a lot of money to support a baby. So now, there are less people want to have more than one baby. Have a nice day.

In my opinion I think 23 is a good age to start thinking about having children. Its the age my mother had me and I'm expecting my first child before my 24th birthday.

For me, 24 years old is a little earlier. I want to have babies when I am 29 years old. I think it is strange to have baby now for me.

I think the ideal age for me to get married and have a baby is at the age of 25 to 30. That is because, below 25, or at the age of 18 to 21, one is not prepared to have a baby emotionally and physically. However, when one is somewhat old, one will hard a hard time delivering a baby. Good day!

It depends upon you. It's not the age that matters most. It's your capability to bear a child.

It depends on you,if you are ready enough to take all the responsibilities and adjustment they why not?Personally i am 21 and i have an 8months old baby for now,it's very difficult to adjust physically and emotionally. but when you are there you just simply go with the flow but i guess you need someone to guide you at least.so i hope that someday you will be prepared for that thing. coz it will take a lifetime to do that kind of responsibility.

Deciding to have a baby is not something you do lightly. Some very young girls want to have babies for a number of reasons including the one that when they have the baby, the boy will marry them - or that having a baby will make them happy or rid them of their problems - or even that having a baby will force the father to take responsibility. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Having a baby is something you undertake when both parties are responsible and know the meaning of bringing a life into the world.

So I can say that those ladies who got pregnant at an early age has unwanted pregnancy right? I think the best age to have your own baby is at the right age. The right age where you are not going to worry about what you are going to eat in the future and you are sure that you can give the best care and things that your baby needs. Just enjoy your single life first. There are a lot of things to consider when you already have your baby. So my advice is don't be in a hurry. Enjoy your youth.

I think it all depends cause different people have different views on having babies. For me, 26 is old enough to have a baby physically and emotionally. I'm 30 now and am preparing to have another baby. Acturally, the age is not the most important factor. It's up to you. When you're ready, it's quite natural to be a mother. But if you're not ready, don't be silly. I mean, you have to be responsible for any decision you make. Good luck!

Thank you for your advise. Although I am 27 years old, but I always think I am still too young to have a baby, maybe because I am a teacher, and always stay with children. Oh, it is really a big problem.
