How old do you want to be when you have your first child?

FH and I would like to travel a little and I'm 27 right now so we're probably going to have our first at 29.

another year and a half or so. We need to get some savings then we should be good. We can't afford a house for awhile so we'll just hope we can buy one before kid is school aged.

Re: When to have a baby

I was 18 when I had my first, but I'd like to be around 21 or 22 when I have the second. We started young so we figure we may as well finish young. I'll be the 45 year old mom with kids all graduated & at college.

Re: When to have a baby

We had a lil 'scare' this month and it showed us how much we would love to have a baby, so we decided that after we get our two big trips out of the way next year we're gonna start trying, so I'll hopefully be 27 when I have my first and so will DH

Re: When to have a baby

i;m 30 and DH is 34... i need to get cracking. we want more than the standard 1 or 2, so i would say in the next year or so...... its tough though... we're both still fairly new at our jobs, but i don't think we can wait too much longer... i want to have healthy pregnancies

Re: When to have a baby

I am 31, DH is 35, so I would like to start trying soon. I just don't know what we would do about child care. I am the one who has the benefits (DH is self-employed and I am a NYC teacher) so my not working is not really an option. Maybe this is something I should look up on LIF??
