This generation is so against women having children in their early 20's, when years ago that was the prime time and still is. I say if yall are ready go for it don't listen to other people.
I'm 21 and...
I want a baby 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Call me crazy but I've wanted a baby since I was 16. Obviously I didn't get pregnant though lol. I got married at 18, been together 4 years, married three years. Just graduated college together. Everyone says we should wait til we're 30 but I'm going crazy. Does anyone else feel the same???

Yep! I'm 22 and feel the exact same. While I don't knock anyone who chooses to wait til they are 30, I just don't understand why some people seem to think that's the magical age to conceive. Things are different for each person, do what's best for you. Be honest with yourself and reasonable. Baby fever is normal and some people are ready for a baby earlier than others!

I have read that a woman's body will only produce so many eggs throughout her life time. So yes the older you get they harder it will be to get pregnant. Everyone has their own opinion as the "right"age to get pregnant. But end of the day only you know when it's the right time. I'm 31 if I could snap my fingers and get pregnant again tomorrow I would lol

@Desirae Thanks for the insight and baby dust to you I really hope you get another little one soon! Don't lose hope!!
I wanted a baby when I was 5.. I get it. I'm 29, I waited until my life could perfectly support a baby (loving husband, college degree, well paying career, enough sick days for maternity leave at work, owning a home, stable financially.. I don't think you need to wait until 30, but I do think you should wait a few years, age doesn't mean a whole lot, where you are in life and how stable it is is what matters
Once you hit 30 you have a lot of complications once it comes to getting preggo and having a healthy baby. If you are stable and want a baby and your husband does too ignore the haters.

Peak fertility is 23 to 31

Late 20's early 30's is considered peak fertility FYI

I know it's possible but it does come with increased risk. Coming from a medical field there are increased chances of something going wrong. That doesn't mean it will happen to everyone. But that women also needs to be very healthy and where I come from most women are not and have many diseases
I don't think age should matter. Maturity and financial stability do. I'm 21 with my second.. Been married for over a year to the man I've been with for 6yrs. We own a nice house and he has a good job. as long as you can support and provide for your kid the decision is on you!

Thank you! wow you own a house already??? lucky! where I live the average cost for a house is $275,000+
I met my husband at 17, was ready to just settle down and pop out babies then. We got married at 21 and are now 26 trying for our first child. I look back and thank goodness I didn't bring a child into our lives when I wanted one back the n. Neither of us were ready, it would have been so super stressful on our relationship. Now it's exciting, girl I get where you're at, some lady clocks tick faster than others :) it will happen in good time!! :)
