I have read somewhere that fifty percent of women have their first child when they were between 28 and 32. Then they either have a second baby immediately or don't have any more at all.. This, in spite of that long held belief that having a baby late is not a good idea, either for the health of the mother or for the health of the child. And also, in spite of that even longer held belief that the primary role of a woman is to be a mother- as soon as she is able to be. Ideally at what age a woman should have babies?

this is more about family planning. actually, for a woman the younger she is, the more ideal she is to have a baby. this is because younger woman had a much higher chance of a more healthy baby. and there is lesser risk for the mother when giving birth. one important thing is that the parents should be finance-stable, so that they can give their best to their child.
