Well Definatly not 16, I would say mid to upper 20's just make sure your bringing the child into a stable enviroment thats full of love and comfort.

There is no specific age that tells you that you are ready for a baby. You have to be emotionally, physically and have a stable life. Ideally, you should have a stable well-paying job and have a husband//boyfriend that is also ready for this huge step in life.

I think it all depends on the person and what they are planning on doing with there life. I dont want to have kids until earliest 25, and latest 32, but thats just me. and it depends on when you find the right guy and when your responsible enough.

I think there need to be a few things in place: preferably a long lasting, stable partnership, a state of financial comfort, owning a home, careers well in place, etc.
The age of child bearing is getting later and later; many families do not start until the parents are in their early thirties. Your ovaries will still be there in ten years, but the potential and opportunities you have now will not be.
You have to make sure you can be completely selfless; once you consider having a baby, you are not the most important person in your life anymore.
I think the earliest a person should plan for a baby is their late twenties.

I think they should have a baby when they have a stable homelife of their own and they are mature enough to look after a child. The age changes from person to person but I reckon that by the time you have reached your mid-20's.

well definately after you graduate from college and stuff and after you are married.
so prolly around 25 or 26. (thats just my opinion)
Thanks i hope that I helped! =]

I think that the pregnant woman should be married or at least engaged.

well, really there isn't an exact age.
I'm don't want one until mid 20's, but really it all depends on my financial status, my marital status, will I make a good parent. Also, if I'm out of college, I couldn't take having a child, and being in school at the same time, too difficult.
But, for an exact age, 25

i would say when you are financally stable enough to have a baby and you have a relationship that wont end as soon as you tell him your pregnate. me personally, i think you should be completly out of school. so if your going to college then you should wait till you get out.

Honestly, you really can't set an age for that. It's when your old enough to support your own baby. That's when your ready...So maybe in your 20's? After finishing school and have time to actually take care and take responsibilites of a child.

mid-twenties...

hEEy! well... i take a class called child devolpment... and in our text book it says that the best age 2 have a child is betewwn the ages of: 17-34... but basically... i believe that before you have a child.. u should make sure ur financially secure. so u can afford the baby... and remember that ur "shopping sprees" will totally minimize too. and that ur emotionally secure for this 2... and they should probably have an established carrer and most likely they would want 2 be out of school. children are a huge responsibilty so when i want to start having kids is maybe around 25ish... because as awesome as they are u have 2 remember that there gonna be with u 4eeevr! and i think 25.. ur mature enough and rEaDy!
sO uMM i hOpE i HelPed yA oUt! FeEl fRee tO aSK me nE tHinG... nE tImE!

doesnt matter how old, just married. This way they have backup and support for sure. Every baby should have a happy family not a mixed up boyfriend girlfriend relationship
]
regardless of what age you are, you should abslutely be married before you have a baby. so maybe in your twenties if you need a number, but like i said, you should absolutely be married. its not fair to the baby otherwise.

I think you should atleast be the legal adult age which is 18. I think teen pregnancy is very common. I myself have two friends with children who are 15. I don't think it's right but things happen. And it's hard to sit and say it's an awful thing. You can't look at that child and say, that was the biggest mistake of my life. You look at it and say, omg she/he is beautiful. I myself would not get pregnant as a teen... But anyways, honestly I think you should wait until you are 20 years old or older. If you have a child younger than that, it sucks in ways. Bringing a child into the world is a beautiful thing you want to be fully ready. Tho, you may be ready at young age, you want to be able to go do your own thing whne you're young. You can't do that when you have a child. You have a huge responsibility then, and you can't ignore it or blow it off. I plan to wait until I am about 22+. Altho, I do desire to be a mother, I don't have the mental abilities to handle it.

i think when you are about 18 you are ready to have a baby!! my sister is 15 and she has ab baby she cant take care of so my parents do !!! i think 15&16 year old are to young!!

u are old enought to have a baby when u are married ,have a house and a job.

[This is gonna be long..]
Over 20, at LEAST.
My mom had myself when she was 26; one of my best friends mom, had my friend when she was 15!
I'm turning 15 in two weeks, and i can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like if i had a baby. I've even talked to my sister about this. She'll be 21 soon, is in her 3rd year of university, and is going to be a teacher. Even SHE said she is not mentally ready for children. She has a boyfriend, which of whom she loves very much, but children would ruin everything she's working towards for her career, and also, like anyone, she likes to go out and have fun.
Also, my other sister, whose 24 (maybe 25 now..lol) also said that she's not ready for kids. She's been with her boyfriend since they were 15. They both have great careers, and aren't ready to put everything aside for kids.
So basically, if you ever want to live a meaningful life, you should wait til you're 20+ to have children. Because by that time, you've finished school, gotten a job [or should have anyways] and..well yea. lol. You need to be mentally + financially stable in order to raise the kid, you know? Babies are a HUGE responsibility, so you better be ready before you make that decision.
Good day! :) lol.

AGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
You should not have a baby until:
1) You have a stable relationship with someone.
2) You have the maturity to raise a child ON YOUR OWN.
3) You have the financial means to afford raising a child.
Age has NOTHING to do with having a baby. Any dumbass can get knocked up and pop out babies like a pop machine. But should they? Probably not.

I think someone should be at least 20 and older to have a baby. Once someone is out of college, has a job, a place to stay, and a partner who will be there for them, that's a good time to have a baby. Remember, once someone has a baby, their life will change and they can't go back. Hope I helped :)

Not only do you have to be mentaly ready to have children, you need to be finacialy stable. If you are unable to support yourself, how are you going to support a child? You are old enough when you can independantly handel the responsibility. There is no magic number.

20's +
