Question

How old were you when you had your first kid and what age do you think you should have your first kid?

Answer 1

I was 25.....I think that's a good age....but everybody is different

Answer 2

34 with my one and only and I am glad I waited. We weren't ready until after we were married for 9 years. Still married for 15+ years.

Answer 3

my first one was at 29 and my second at 38.  There really isnt a perfect age for having babies it depends on siturations for everyone.

Answer 4

I was 26 when i had my 1st child, i dont think theres a set age for children, when both parents are finacially and emotionally ready for a baby.

Answer 5

i was 13 for my first! i dont think age matters, it is more like when your emotionally and finacially ready.

Answer 6

i am 22 but my son is adopted so I'm not going to have my own child Intel me and my fiance get married

Answer 7

♥ I was 20 when I had my daughter. I feel that having my daughter at 20 was a good age. I am now 24 and pregnant with twin girls

Answer 8

I was 24 when i had my first kid but i know girls who had their first a 15 and are happy with their lives.

My best friends and sister had their first when they were in their 30's and they all agree that its late to have babies then because you have all your teens and 20's to please yourself and then this little bundle comes along and completely changes the whole routine of your life.  So individuals have to see where they are in their life to see if its the right time for them to have children.  Society shouldn't set guidelines.

Answer 9

I waited until I was 26,  a college graduate with a degree that would pay the bills, and able to take care of myself just in case the dad and I couldn't work it out.

Answer 10

I was 21 when my son was born. My second son was born at age 25, my daughter was born at 27, and my third son at 31. I feel that 27 was the best age to have a baby.

Answer 11

17 when I had my first daughter. I think I should have had her at 17(she was planned and yes I am still with her father too...going on 7 yrs now and married) Second daughter was born when I was 20 and I am currently 7 months pregnant with our 3rd daughter.

I don't regret a thing either!

Answer 12

I will be 30 when my baby is born.

I personally don't believe a woman should have children until at least 27 years of age.  

You change and mature so much in your early to mid 20s.  It's easy for young mothers to say that they are glad they had a baby at their age....but then, they don't know what they are missing out on, either.  I have age and experience and I know.
