Age for Pregnancy

Holly • 🌷💟🌞🦄
What do you think is the ideal age to have children? What ages do you think it's "acceptable" to have a child? 
*** I am not asking this because I need to know the answer for myself..I have my own thoughts and beliefs on this question... I am just interested in what the majority of people think about this topic **** 😋
This is meant to be more of a discussion than a true question.
I know people tend to say age does not matter, however from a biological standpoint age does have a factor in having a healthy pregnancy, but maturity and finances are other factors as well 
Also, if you're going to have a sassy remark then please just don't answer. I'm not asking this for people to put others down or make others feel bad about their situations. Do not treat people like they aren't people please! Be kind! If not.... Then keep it to yourself 😁

That's a tricky question. Younger women in their 20s and 30s seem to have more energy but women in their early 40s have more wisdom, patience, and life experience. I think it depends on the individual and where they are at in their lives.

I thought it'd be interesting to know what others thought about it as well. I want to be as ready as I can..but I don't want to be too old or too young when I start having children

I definitely agree with that however I think no matter how prepared you are you can never be 100% "ready". I am only 21... I know plenty of people my age who have already had children and many people in my family have had kids before then but I feel now a days that's just too young.

I think it depends on the person. I am 21 with 2 kids and do just fine but I know some 21 year old's who couldnt handle the responsibility yetz

Yeah I'm the same age but I am in school so I don't have a stable job yet... I know that I want children but definitely not Til I'm more prepared.

There's no age. Your question should be, 'At what point in your life should you introduce a child?'Now answer your own question! :-)

For me, 21-36 has always been my idea of what would be acceptable for me. I know that it's okay for other women to be younger and older, this is just my personal goal. Ideally for me, it was always 23-33 - but now I'm really glad that I gave myself a broader range because conceiving #1 at 21 was easy, but now I'm struggling with #2. It's been really discouraging but I'm doo grateful that I had a baby when it was best and easiest for my body even though I was nervous that it was a little too early.

I think once the couple is settled into their relationship. If they want kids young (18-23) they should have at least been together fo 2-3 years before making that decision. Young people change their minds all the time. Maybe it's because our brains aren't fully developed? Anyways, I had my first at 19 and now I'm having my second (planned) at 20. My fiancé and I will have been together for 6 years by the time baby #2 is here.

In my opinion mid to late twenties to start mid thirties to be done. The cap on the end is just how I feel comfortable in terms of risks and when I don't want to still be having babies. I mean say you had a baby at 40 you'd be 60 when they are 20 and I want to be an active grandparent assuming my children will bless me with grand kids. I had my first at 27. It felt like the perfect age.

25 and up. I say this because I've been 21 and I know plenty of people who had kids at that age who couldn't parent for themselves they needed moms help financially or wanted a sitter to get to go out
