Seriously, reproduction is a personal matter. There are risks at too young an age and too old. Risks to the mother and child. It’s really between a woman and her doctor.

@bijouxbroussard Couldn't agree with you more, but sadly some women don't check with their doctor if they're not having trouble conceiving. And then there is the whole rape thing which is worse.
@WSEIII Rape is an entirely different situation, because nothing about that is the woman’s choice except whether or not to continue any pregnancy that results. But most women who choose to continue a pregnancy need prenatal care and consult a doctor for that.

My father was born when my grandmother was 17 years old and his youngest brother from her remarriage was born 7 years later. My older half sister was born when our mother was 19, I was born the morning after my mother's 23rd birthday, and my little sister was born four months before her 25th birthday. These young ages resulted in poor albeit devoted mothers. I think women shouldn't have children until they have an established well paying job and are stable which isn't as a teenager or until at least late 20s. My ex girlfriend was 27 years old when she gave birth to our son last September and while crazy as hell (reason she's in prison) she did at least have a great job as a Data Analyst. She would've provided well for the child although I can't be sure if she'd have been a devoted mother.

Before 40 because of complications

I don't think it's age, but more so responsibility

Some women get pregnant and kill the child. Others give birth and abandon the child or sign them off to adoption. Some neglect the child or abuse or mistreat them. Any of these women are irresponsible and shouldn't be bringing lives they're working to destroy 🤷🏾‍♂️

The good mothers can have as many children as they want, even if it's her last egg before menopause
@Babylon Fortunately, there are many well adjusted Gay and Lesbian couples out here who adopt those babies Heterosexuals' abandon and give them loving homes. ☺️
35 cause it could lead to serious health complications for both her and the child

I have no idea but past your mid thirties it gets harder to run after them etc
From my own personal experience...

I think 35-37 is too late. You only have x number of eggs and the later ones often are not the best ones. Same for guys... the later in life you provide your DNA and have kids, the bigger chance that they will have some issues. Statistics highlight these beliefs.
Depends really on the health of the mum, I know a lot of mums who waited to have kids until later in life simply because they wanted to make sure they were financially stable.

Yes, if you have a child at age forty, the child might be born with Downs syndrome because your eggs are really too old at that age. I would say 38 would be a good age to stop.

Ah... idk. A friend of mine just told me of her aunt (48) that just had one with her bf (62)...
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@AnthroKenji wow, that baby is gonna be sooo loved.
It's interesting if they've had kids alresdy I think there will be more helping hands (hopefully) meaning they can enjoy it better, you know parenting.
AnthroKenji · 36-40, M
@Mellowgirl Yeah, uh, problem, uh bf isn't divorced, he uh... has a whole ass family with another woman and its very... NOT GOOD in terms of social relations on the Rez so uh... I hope nothing but good stuff for this kid.

@Mellowgirl Yes but it's possible that children with older mothers have more health issues.
I don’t think there should be an age limit, as opposed to a minimum. In my book, the older the better. Age typically brings mental and financial stability.

I think it's a bad idea to have kids at an older age when there is more risk of problems for both the mother and the child.

40, certainly women Have had babies just fine but but medical to mom and baby go up suggnificantly
SoLeRiMix · 31-35, M
I think only a Doctor should answer this question because they know better.🙂

I think that ppl should pass tests and training before conceiving a child.

@kandy also, let's not forget that people actually do go through a process and meet conditions before adopting a child. Just because it will come through you, doesn't mean it's not a child anymore that also requires these conditions.

my g/f was 37 when she had our last baby

Ideally 18 to 29 is the best. So cut off is 30.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
Early 40”s in my opinion
