thinking about having kids... at what age????

[Ada652]

how old were you when you starting thinking about having kids?

[Kymberli0529]

I'm 24 and had my daughter last year.

[mpedersen]

Let's see I was 23, my wife was 22. I do not recommend having kids even that young, but I would not have it any other way. I love my boys very much!

I'm 27, but not planning on having kids for at least another year. We want to wait until my husband is out of the military and we are both settled into a home and careers.

I don't want to have a kid until I'm very financially stable, so probably late 20's.

I was 26 when my wife had our first daughter and 27 when we had our second

you will never feel like you have enough money for kids.


******************

I was 28 when i had my son --- i always thought i would have kids earlier than that but career plans and moving around the country prevented that from being reality.

I had my first child at 19. Now I am 22 and i am looking forward to getting pregnant again and having a baby at 23.

Honestly, there really isn't a good age. if you feel that you are ready to have children, then have children. but i wouldn't go by what anyone else thinks. most people want to wait til they are financially stable. i had mine at 19. you gotta go with your gut on this one.

I just had my first baby thi year at 26 and i am praying for another one by next year. although I was ready at 23, my then boyfriend now husband thought it as wrong having kids b4 marriage. I think the earlier the better at least for ladies, that way you are able to loose most of that baby fat while your metabolisms are still very fast and active.

I had my oldest child at 18 and my youngest when I was 21.

Congratulations on the twins.

The right time is just when you feel and your significant other feel the time is ight. I know a couple they decided to have kids when they felt there was something missing, a hole in their lives. They now have a wonderful son and a beautiful baby girl who does not want for anything.

We chose not to have children. Some people cannot understand why we made that choice.
We both enjoy kids but just felt that we didn't want to have any of our own.
I think its a personal choice. As far as age you hear of many women reaching their
late 30's before having them.

I had my first baby last year at 19. It was very hard. Even harder when my husband was gone for the military. Buut i would not change anything about my life I love my little girl more then life its self!
