A friend of mine has recently got married and she is 30 yrs old.Her mom has been coaxing her since to have a baby since.However she is adament to not have kids for another 2 years.This is making her mom worried since my friend is already in her 30s.Her mom's point of view is that its best to have babies while one is in her 20s, say 23-24 yrs.When one reaches 30s, there are complications as far as normal delivery is concerned and its best to have a normal delivery. What do you think is the right age to have kids and what has been your experience?

hell she... i believe that it's not a question about age as to when you should start having kids... it has more to do with your readiness. I had a baby when i was 17 years old.. truly i was very young by then and felt i wasn't prepared. but when i had my baby, my maternal instincts just kicked in... and nobody had to taeach me how to be a mother. I have no regrets and i am so happy. more so, if you are prepared for it...

i totally agree, it has to do with one being ready. Although i do think that its important to address this question biologically ie in terms of appropriate age as deemed fit by doctors.

For having child ,your age should be in between 25 to 30. Before 25, u are not so mature to have child and after 30 all complications relating to delivery starts so it is better to have it before.

For me also it must be 25 and above. As I think the woman is already responsible and ready to have a family. As long as you are matured enough and no longer playing or thinking like a child, I think you are at the right age to have kids.
