I think it is really dependant on what you mean by best age? Physically or mentally? Physically, any time in your 20's is ideal. That is according to medical studies. Your eggs begin to lose their viability after the age of 30. Mentally, I think that varies on the person. Some people are ready to be a mom at 19 some are never ready. I had my kids at age 21 and 23. They are now 19 and nearly 17. It's really up to the person. PS. Welcome to MyLot!!!

i was asking for the age, not the state of being.

According to books, the best age is between 23-35 because at 23, the reproductive system is well developed already and ready to bear a child. The reproductive system is most active at those ages and begins to deteriorate at 35 so pregnancy becomes risky beyond that age.

Between 25 to 30 years, I feel this is best age to give birth or have babies...

Well I was 20when I had my first child and I was 27 when I had my second I was much more mature and ready to take care of a baby at 27 then I was at 20 so I would say closer to 25 is the best age to have a baby.

I know they say anytime after the age of 23 because of you eggs. I think it depends fully on the female herself. Some females could never be moms because they dont know how to handle one. I have 17 (2 months before i was 18) and a month after i was 19 i had my second. People thought I could never raise 2 babies at 19. It was hard. But I can tell you something I have gone into Walmart or Stop and Shop and I see 30-40 year old moms ignoring their 2 or 3 year olds or they are wandering by themselves. They just dont see the reality what can happen to her child. So, I would have to say waiting until after age 20 is good, BUT it also depends on how she is mentally to raise a child.
