i dont think you have to be a certain age, i think when you are financially independent, and stable, you are almost there, im glad i started early mine are 10, 9, and 1. and the 1 year old is the toughest only because im starting over and energy and patience are thin

It`s so different for everyone - I was 32 and that was perfect for me as I was quite young and had a lot of things I wanted to do before bringing a baby into the world, I partied, studied, travelled, built myself up financially and have established myself in the workforce so I felt 32 was just right for me, old enough to have the mental maturity and young enough to still keep up. But saying that, some of my friends from school now have kids at high school and are fabulous mothers, it depends on the individual. Although I'm "older" than a lot of women, I know some people who didn't start having babies til their late 30s and even 40s! A friend of mine is 43 and pregnant with her first. She looks and behaves at least 10 years younger than she is so I don't think that would be an issue as her child grows up.

I`d say 25. I waited until I was 30, and I wish I would`ve done it earlier so I could have more energy. I`m so tired all the time.

Well I personally dont think age had anything to do with it! I think it maturity and your lifestyle. I had my 1st @ 20 and I was in a perfect place. I rebelled as a teen and went through alot of growing up early and I was ready emotional for a child and in a stable marriage (we are still together) not that you need a man or relationship to raise a child. I know some people who are in there late 20`s even early 30`s and no where near ready for a child. But if you were talking about in general I would say 22-26 Depends if you go to college or not. If you are in collage I would say wait and till you graduate. AND most importantly have a steady roof over your head and money coming in BUT with that being said I dont think you can put and AGE on `being ready for a child`. Sometimes it just happens and take the lemons and make lemonade. =)
