I got this material from a website which said that it is better if women give birth to their first child before they reach the age of 30. Because concieving and begetting after 30 can be a bit difficult and strenous for a woman. Since you have asked this question i have replied to you.
[b]The study noted that medical authorities have long warned that women giving birth for the first time after age 30 face higher risks of having babies with birth defects than those who are younger.
Based on the incidence of low-birth-weight babies - less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces - medical authorities say that the ideal age for a mother to give birth for the first time is between 25 and 29. [/b]
This is my own opinion backed up by scientific studies.
But deciding when to have your child is upto you....

I'm pretty sure your friends meant well when they suggested that to you... but it should be a personal decision. You should talk it over with your husband and decide when you should have the baby. I'm getting married next year and my fiance and I would love to have a baby as soon as possible (after the marriage of course ). So it's really up to you my friend.

Don't let anybody decide when you should have a baby but you. Your life will never be the same once you have a child. I have had friends tell me that having a baby in your 30s is too late and they all had kids in their late teens or early 20s. If I decide to have a child, I'd wait until I'm 30 but some people rather have them earlier. It really just depends on where you are in your life, finances, career, etc. Don't base it off of age alone. Your still have time to reproduce.
