Myself and my husband have been married a year, have been together just shy of 10 years, we both have great stable jobs and we have lived together in our house for 3 years now. We feel ready to have a baby but worry that we will get judged as we are ‘only’ 27 and not 30 as I know that 30 has now become the norm to become parents in more recent years.
I know it might not happen straight away but does age really matter if we are stable in life and feel ready to be parents? Is 27 really too young or am I just being silly in doubting it?

Girl, don't even worry about what other people think - 27 is definitely not too young to have a baby, as long as you and your husband feel ready for it! There's no "right" age, it's all about what feels right for your relationship and your individual situation.
The fact that you've been together for 10 years, are financially stable, and have a home of your own already puts you in a great position to start a family. A lot of people these days are waiting until their 30s, but that doesn't mean 27 is somehow "too young."
Sure, some people might judge or make comments, but screw 'em. This is your life, your marriage, and your choice. If you and your husband feel prepared and excited to have a baby, then go for it! Don't let societal norms and expectations hold you back.
The most important thing is that you two are on the same page and feel completely ready, both emotionally and practically. As long as that's the case, your age really doesn't matter. Some people are mature and stable enough to be amazing parents at 27, while others may not be ready until their 30s or even later.
My advice? Tune out the noise, trust your instincts, and do what feels right for you. If you feel in your heart that the time is right, then that's all that matters. Embrace this new chapter and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. Wishing you both the very best!
No because the body naturally has a range of many possible years.
But need to be energetic to properly care for them, not a tired 35 year old.
If you feel ready then have it. Don't worry about what other people think. 27 is a perfectly fine age to have a baby.
