When is the right time to settle for kids?

Question

I was just curious because I’ve been thinking about it lately. My SO and I are around the ages of 22-23 and I was aiming for 26 after I am out of school and have a career with income to support myself and my children. 
By the way totally random but do you think we will have cute babies?! 😬 I’m curious! Leave hate comments out, Thank You! Share a pic of you and your children or you and your SO. I’d love to see! I love babies, I’m a nanny full time and all I do is take care of babies and children most my free time and I’m going to school for special education teacher- anyways besides the point thanks for your polls and opinions and photos! Much love! Xoxo glow girl. 💋

Answer

Also this is my bf & I. I realized I asked a question without posting a photo! 🤪

Answer

There isn’t a ‘right time.’ Its not a single number clear cut across the board. Some people aren’t ready until theyre 35, and some people are ready when theyre 20. That’s why each individual couple has to decide amongst themselves whats best for their own situation

Answer

I'm 26, my husband is 35. We just had our first. I'm glad we waited! My husband was ready years before me of course but was willing to wait until I wanted them. We plan to have our second/last before I turn 30 and he turns 40. I got pregnant on an amazing 3 week trip to Italy which we may not have been able to afford had we had kids earlier. It's good timing for us.

Answer

I think this is different for everyone. When my husband and I first met, we both said we wanted children, but we had a checklist before we would start.
1. We both wanted to have our Master's Degrees. Well I wanted mine, my husband was actually almost done with his Master's when we met.
2. We wanted to be married.
3. We wanted to be homeowners.
We met in 2012. My husband completed his Master's that same year. I completed my Master's in 2014. He proposed in 2015. We got married in 2016. After we got married, we immediately started building our home because we knew we wanted to start a family, but we did not want to start that family in an apartment. We closed on our home in early 2017. It was perfect timing because we closed on our home and found out we were expecting the same day haha. It was confirmed by a doctor two weeks later. I was 27 and my husband was 29, getting ready to turn 30. We now have a 10-month old baby girl who is our everything. I'm 28 and my husband is 31. Like I said, this differs for everyone.

Answer

There really is no right or wrong answer, it's up to the couple and when they feel ready. My husband and I are 25 and had our first in February. Although it was sooner than planned, I'm glad we started our family now. Ideally, I want to be done by 32-33 but we will have to see what life has in store for us.

Answer

Every one is ready at their own time and often times they're not ready but it happens and you just gotta do it, or not obviously.

Answer

I had my first at 22. I had a bachelors degree, spent half a year touring England and felt I had experienced life. I met my husband who was 30 when we had our first. We had been on a lot of adventures together so we felt we were “played” out and ready for our family. 
My SIL is 39 and pregnant with their first. 
My friend is 34 and pregnant with her second. 
My close friend is 25 and pregnant with her first. 
There are no rules! Have a baby when you’re ready. Also, you two are adorable your babies are going to be gorgeous

Answer

27-30 is when I'm hoping to

Answer

I think it all really depends on your circumstances. There are some 20 year olds who have their shit together more than some 30 years olds. Me personally I can’t imagine having had kids in my early twenties, because the things I wanted first before having kids hadn’t happened by then, but everyone’s situation is different.
