at what age is it best to have your first child?

Question

Answer

Whenever you are financially, emotionally, and physically dependent and able to.

Answer

I really think it depends on where you are in your life.  Everyone is different.

Answer

I always planned to have a baby around 25-28 but I had one a few years sooner than I had planned. I had him at 20 and couldn't be happier

Answer

Depends on the person/couple. My husband and I are actually co side ting trying before we would normally financially want to because of medical concerns. If we get family help with sitting of course.

I used to be the one that went on and on about how financially stable you HAVE to be before you try for kids, but some changes in my health and chronic condition have us thinking about trying before were at the point that we would want to be (although my husband will be going through masters program and will have a career set in 1.5 years, we still have plans to have a better income by the time the kid starts costing even more money-around school age)

Answer

I think it depends on the couple. My friend just had her baby on Monday and she's 19. My boyfriend and I dont plan on having kids until I'm near the end of my senior year of college, so in another 3 years which would make me 22 and him 31.

Answer

My husband had his first child with his ex at 22. And while he doesn't regret her I think if he could go back and do it again he wouldn't have. It was a terrible relationship they were on an off the whole time they were together and thought a baby would fix things. I don't think age is what's important. I think it's doing it for the right reasons and being in the right financial and mental place to do it.

Answer

Some people aren't ready until 30. I'm ready at 19. It all depends on the individual
