What age do you think is suitable to have a baby?

There is no age.

There are qualifications.

1. You have a car.
2. You own your own house.
3. You have a job that pays more than 12 dollars an hour.
4. You are emotionally stable.

I think that about covers it.

ok everyone is different not everyone can handle a kid and sum can I mean I have a daughter and everyone said how are u going to do it its hard and you need to have money for diapers and all that other bullcrap but its not as hard as everyone says like the whole marriage and life insurance and all that.. is all bullshit I mean if you have health insurance than your baby auttomactly has it too. everyone is juss different and it dont matter what age if you feel that you r ready then you r ready I had mine at 15, and I love my daughter.. I mean it is a little better if you wait but if it happeneds it happeneds. god has sent you a baby for a reason.

20s is the best age I think for having a baby because you will be old enough to handle responsibility

I have just turned 16 2months ago, when my son was born, so I was 15 when I got pregnant. NOTHING worked out, my family still to this day will not speak to me apart from my sister, Although my friends are my family now, my two bestfriends who one is now my sons godfather and the other his godmother I wouldnt change them for anything! if it wasnt for them I wouldnt have what I have now, they have helped soo much, even down to furnishing my flat. my sons godfather had the flat fully furnished and ready and the cot which he bought all ready and set up for when I left the hospital and came home! (I wondered why he left me half way in labour with my sister haha ) my sons dad will not have anything to do with him either, I’ve got a flat now but hardly any money at all, but you have to get by! I dont regret my son and I love him to bits I would never let anybody hurt him or him go without anything! But believe me life would of been easier if I had money and was a little older but oh well I wouldnt change a thing.

there is no ‘right’ age for having a baby. but there are things to consider, there boring, but important.

when you DO have a baby, I am assuming that you’ll want to gve t the best of everything. so ensuring you have;

a decent income. housing support network understand, that babies come with a ‘no return policy’ and are prepared for the sacrifices and commitment involved

then yeah. but you have many years ahead of you where you can have children, why the hurry?

I was 21 when I had my first and in hindsight, it may have been better had I have waited. I split up with my little boys dad when baby was only 7 months old, and you are stuck with that person for the rest of your life…and for 9 years it’s been amicable, and now, not so much.

be sure of your reason why, but I am all for getting an education, a stable relationsip and ensuring I have a decent home…and these things will proably take you up till about 23…

why the hurry?

I think that it doesn’t matter how old you are because back then girl were having babies at 14 and so on. I think it has to do with what the doc. says and if you are phycially , emotional , and mentaly ready for a baby. if you find your self there then I think that you are ready. Money is also a big facter. A baby makes you diff. and if you are ready to understand that the baby doesn’t revolve around your life that you revolve aroung the baby that I think your ok.

I can’t say there’s a definite when you’re ready, as it’s different for different people. I’ve wanted babies since I was about 17, but I know I’m not ready. I’m waiting til I’m financially and emotionally able to support a child.

Having said that, I think people are est to wait til they’re in their 20s to start on kids, so you’ve had at least enough time to live and enjoy your life without having to worry about another person.

any age from 18+ because then you can get a job = paying for the child and you can understand the resonsobilty because your finished school

you say you are 15 and you want a baby right? well my cousin was 15 when she had her first children(twins)she is now 16 and is pregnant again with a girl but differand dads and she cant cope prop her mum said she would help her but has now kicked her out I think you should be sensible and wait until you are atleast 24,25

you shouldnt havve a baby til your married have a career life insurance family that will support you if you go broke for a couple of months or so well im 13 but I think your out of your mind if you want one at 15 no offence besides you want a husband who will be there for your baby not leave you with him for life

I don’t think it’s an age but a priority: education, ring, date, marriage, getting financially stable, then baby…Take care !!

I would say around 20 because then your a little older.more mature and shouldn’t feel like your missing out on your teenage years.

I think when you’re married, know you can care for the child, and have enough money to do so.

Well the suitable age to get married is about 18 so you could probly have a baby at age 20 ,but make sure your prepared

When you’re done with school, have a good job, and have the money to raise one.
