I think technically the best age to have first baby is before late 30.However I do believe that the best timing is when both yourself and your partner are ready.
My husband and I we had the first baby after almost four years of marriage or when I was 27 and it was the best decission ever for us.
All the best.. have anice day...xxx

thank you for your advice.
Maybe age is not the important point to be mother.

well for me the best time to be a mother is when you reach the right age wherein you can really handle responsibilities and even hard situation...actually partners should also plan to have a baby because its not a play when you already have your own child...actually, you can have a baby as long as you are financially stable, emotional, physical and spiritually stable...

the best time to be a mother is when you are ready for it physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially. i think when a woman is already mature enough to have the responsibility of rearing a child to be a good citizen of the world. it is the best time to be a mother when you have a husband to stand by you and help/support you in every way...

I agree with some of the other posters that there is no certain time that everyone is ready to have children. It all depends on the couple, how mature they are and we they feel they are ready to be responsible for a child. Having a child is not something anyone should rush into.

I can only speak from my own life. I enjoy the fact that I had my son when I was 18yo. Now that I am 31 my son is 13yo & I can actually enjoy doing things with him. I think if I had him later on I would have not had the energy to keep up at all.

I dont think there is really a best age to have children.. whenever you are ready then that's the best time .. everyone is different and are more mature at different ages.. I had my first son at 17 years old and that was a fantastic thing for me.. without my kids I would have never grown into the person I am today.. aslong as you want that baby then that's all that matters.. :)

I think the best time to have a child is when both you and your husband are ready. To have a child is a lifetime commitment. You and your husband should discuss then decide the time when you are ready. From medical point of view though, it is better to have first child before 35 years old.

I think it depends on the couple in question. Some people are ready at a young age as they are mature and responsible. Others do not feel ready to have children until they have completed their studies and made a good start to their career.
The best age to have a first baby for most people is between 25 and 30. But the early twenties or early to mid thirties can be a very good time for other people. The teenage years of 18 and 19 might be too early for some but fine for others. Between 35 and 39 might mean trying to get pregnant for a while but the end result will hopefully be a confident mother and a fortunate baby. In the early to mid forties some women can get pregnant but it is too late for some. They might have to try IVF.

the best time to be mother is the great faith and time in hands of lord as was the case with sara and abraham. However the woman should decide to be a mother only if she has capacity to suckle her baby
