At least 30 and definitely early 30s. So many risks increase for birth defects the longer you wait. Women past 34? Risk goes WAY up, having a child with them.
Exactly I don't know why a lot of men and women dont seem to understand that. I’ve been saying forever that docs show rhe risks at age 34+. I think theyre too influenced by older celebs having healthier kids but most of those celebs are wearing belly bumps yet secretly hiring younger surrogates to carry the kid
I was 34 and 36 when I had children. Their mother was 36 and 38. We had been married for 12 years. I’m glad we waited. Having children late keeps you young and in touch with younger people longer. It’s your own kids, of course, but also their friends’ parents with whom you end up socializing. Having focused on our careers in our 20s and early 30s, we’ll be able to retire early as our kids finish college.
I used to want 12. Then i became 2-4. If i have a girl first then i’ll adopt a boy maybe 2 years later. If i have a boy then i’ll try again til i get a girl
Statistics have shown that people who marry at older ages tend to have more lasting marriages. Parents who give birth in their 30s also tend to also have less financial worries when it comes to raising kids.
Well I have 10 children with my first wife who sadly tragically passed on. 2 with my current younger wife of 5 years. Honestly , the younger the healthier for bearing children. I might add that I was present for the birth of all twelve of my children.
I'm not sure if I want kids. But if I decide to have them, I would prefer them to be born in my early 30's. Even if I wanted to have children now it wouldn't be possible, since I can't be in a relationship and I'm not ready.
The older you are the better financial position you will be in to take care of them. The younger you are the better the chances of meeting your great grandchildren.
met my ex husband at 27, married 30 or 31. first kid 33, last kid 35... all good. never planned it. no such thing as which is better... just let life take its course.
After 30 for sure. I'm 29, no kids and I regret nothing. I had great experiences in life and love, I saved good money, and now I feel ready to have kids.
I voted i dont want to be a parent. My ego is too big, and i can't afford it. How few can these days, is beyond me, but not beyond me seeing why that: some people will always have kids. Always.
I'm hoping to have all my kids before the age of 30. Still not set on how many I want though so might end up having my last at 30 but that's the oldest I would go.

I am 41, my husband is 40. Our kids are 5 yo and 1.5 yo. We are both more patient, educated, stable in our careers. Those all make parenting a lot easier in my opinion. And they will keep us young longer, and I plan to enjoy that.

Hmm never heard that perspective before. Nice
We were both 20 when our oldest was born and 29 when the youngest was. I agree, just about perfect.
Sounds amazing
We had 3 kids. one at age 23, 30 and the last at 32. I wish the last two we had while still in our 20's
Still amazing. Ideally i wanted a kid every 2 years starting from age 21-24
How many kids do you want to have
I used to want 12. Then i became 2-4. If i have a girl first then i’ll adopt a boy maybe 2 years later. If i have a boy then i’ll try again til i get a girl
12? Are you crazy?
My great grandma on my pawpaw side has 8 kids and my other great grandma had 6 kids. Lol i wanted 12
Wow. Just wow.

Yea but i just wanted to know everyones personal opinions rather than statistic
That’s a good question, preferably before thirty with her and even if i have one child in my life, I’ll be happy 😊😊
Right i’d be happy with at least one rn
Children are hard work 😊
I want to have 3 kids, I'd want to have some in my mid twenties- mid thirties. Any age under 35.
I agree, 34+ is risky
I did years ago, but have no inclination to have them now.
What changed? Age?
Trust in others, age

Im sorry for your loss. But wow you had 12 kids! I always wanted that
Yes I have now 12 wonderful children from two great women. Its nothing more than a blessing from the lord. 7 boys and 5 daughters.
Not to mention 23 grandchildren also.
Holy smokes
DizzyDesii. You always wanted 12 kids? I hear ya
I'm not sure if I want kids. But if I decide to have them, I would prefer them to be born in my early 30's.
Even if I wanted to have children now it wouldn't be possible, since I can't be in a relationship and I'm not ready.
Do you fear commitment? Or you're just busy?
Neither. I just don't want to date men from the country I live. They're racist and violent.
I think under 30 because; body natural balance is very important
I agree
I had two before the age of 30 and one after the age of 30
Sounds amazing
The older you are the better financial position you will be in to take care of them. The younger you are the better the chances of meeting your great grandchildren.
Good points
met my ex husband at 27, married 30 or 31.
first kid 33, last kid 35... all good. never planned it.
no such thing as which is better... just let life take its course.
Oh i see
After 30 for sure. I'm 29, no kids and I regret nothing. I had great experiences in life and love, I saved good money, and now I feel ready to have kids.
Well you're still young
I voted i dont want to be a parent. My ego is too big, and i can't afford it. How few can these days, is beyond me, but not beyond me seeing why that: some people will always have kids. Always.
Wym always?
Some people love the idea of having kids and plenty of them. Haha.
Well I had my first child when I was 26 and my second one is on the way now when I am 33
Congrats 🙏
Thank you so much ☺️
