Is late 20s good to try for a baby?

Question

My fiancé and I have talked about children. We definitely want one of our own and possibly adopting the second. We’re aiming for my late 20s 27-29 because we’re also aware of fertility declining more once I hit my 30s, especially 35. I’ll be 25, I have 10 years before I hit 35 but life moves fast but as of right now we’re still getting financially set, getting a place once we have money as well, and at nearly 25 I just am starting a career I finally like so yeah I need a couple more years before we’re ready to try for a baby lol but I’ve heard fertility peaks in a woman’s late 20s and I’m still gonna be young but not too young. My neighbor had her daughter at 28 and she’s very healthy and she recovered fast after birth. I don’t think late 20s are old either.

It will still be fine, but once you get married soon I think it would be best to have your first child already. Especially people who are waiting to achieve financial security are not actually threatened by poverty and a small mouth to feed will not make a significant difference, even if the Dow Industrial Index should shed a few points.

There is another important consideration: Your love is fresh now, and your relationship is vigorous. There is a good chance it will last until the child is an adult. Statistically, it is a lot less likely to last, say, 8 years of waiting plus the 18 years. I realize its a bit cynical as I'm sure you want to stay together forever. Still, it will be best to make sure the child shares the coming good years of your relationship which you should not take for granted.

might as well try when you get married. the longer you ask the question, the more you'll delay it until it never happens

sigh. fertility doesn't decline when you instantly hit 35... you can have a baby until your last period/menopause at like mid 40's...

Waiting around for financial stability is the bad move. Have your children early. Ate life you will have a child probably but you will be out of energy and it will be harder to rear him or her
