when is the best time to have a baby

You need to learn all the risks there are in waiting and to do this when you are ready. A baby needs to be brought into a family that truly wants it and is fully ready for this change. Blessings

Hi and hello there, bagmood! ^_^ You are in a right age but for me, the best time to have a baby is when you are having a stable life. Having a baby is really a big responsibility. ^_^

Age wise, this is really the best time to have one now. At ages 25-30 it is the best time since this is said to be pregnant biologically you are matured already for it and your body is really ready to it. Child birth usually at this age are not that hard and complicated. At age 35 above this is said to be the critical period because your body is shifting and some bodily function start to deteriorate that is why child bearing is not encourage anymore, although you could still if you want to. Fertility at this age also becomes more and more hard to come by. And when you get one the pregnancy is usually coupled with complications along the way. But by common sense, it is advisable to have one when one is really ready emotionally, financially and physically. This too must be given importance. From the way you describe from your post you are still attending college? I think getting pregnant while studying is a big distraction for studies. Finish it first before getting pregnant.

Considering the age, it would be your best time. My sister in law have her first baby when she was 20 and second on 23. Now in the age of 37, her children looks like her sister =) I had my first on 27. I wasn't financially and emotionally ready for it. But it was all so natural. You'll develop your mother instinct naturally. Well, it's not easy at the beginning but you'll enjoy it later. I used to dream that I could have babies in very young age like my mother at 19. But now, I consider myself stupid if I do so. Time has changed and there are many things that you can't do if you have a baby though it's temporal. Because little children will need lots of attention and care. By the way, are you married? Because I think it's going to be hard to be a single parent. Good luck with your life.

Based on what you're saying, I don't think that your parents should really persuade you to have a baby, if you aren't financially, and emotionally ready to have one. I think that you shouldn't listen to them. If you want a baby, and are financially and emotionally ready, then I say go for it. If you're in this position, then you should have a baby. But not if you don't want one, and/or if you're not emotionally and financially ready. You should really think about it, and talk about it with your partner.
