I saw a post by someone on some Romanian forums. He said that his wife, who was 31, had to hurry up to have a child. And he said that after the age of 30, the first birth is more problematic for the woman and that it is really difficult. So... considering that I'll be 25 in March this year, I technically have 5 years left to have a child... I haven't thought about it seriously, and right now I don't want to have any child... Up till I read that 34 year old guy's message (he and his wife we married rather late, as he put it) I thought of this as something really far far-away. I am happy with my life right now as it is. But I don't know why, what he wrote there made me think... Is there really anything to worry about? After all, my mother had me when she was 35 and it all went ok.
I'm thinking I have 5 years myself. But it all depends on whom I meet. Can't make that decision on my own.
Age was never an issue for me, 38 when my first daughter was born, nearly 40 when I had my second. Both births were easy. My eldest daughter is your age now and they've kept me young, physically and mentally. It's said you're only as old as the person you're feeling, just so happened their father was younger than me by a few years. Yeah! fun times.
i'm 51 now. i've never been married, nor have i ever fathered childern. that is the choice i made due to how i was raised and treated growing up. enough said on that point. i have read reports where biologist have been able to "re-active" the human female reproductive system, of women in their 80's and 90's to impregnate them, and have them bare healthy childern, with no ill effects at all to the mothers. so age and time are no longer a problem! there is one major problem. that is cost. right now this procure cost hundered of thousands or millions of dollars. (u.s.a. funds.) it is just not cost effective right now.
Well, I'm more worried about possessing the energy levels to raise a child. I'm a lazy dude as it is, so...
my mom had my younger brother at 38, and my sister at 36. they both turned out fine. I think statistically the chances of a complication or a problem with the child is higher the older a woman gets, but I don't think you should worry.
They say that after the age of 36, births get more dangerous and complicated. NOT 30... You still have time, no worries.
my dad had my brother at 30. me at 34. Everyone thinks he's way younger then he is now. I think it just depends on the person. ..of course my mom was only 22 or 23 when she had her first kid. it all worked out. i'm happy i hopefully wont have to lose them too early in my life.
I really don't think a pregnancy is something anyone wants to rush or feel pressured into. There are increased risks of having breast cancer if one gives birth to a child past one's 35th birthday, amongst other likelihoods of diseases and some such. *shrugs* There are plenty of very valid and favourable reasons not to have a child at all because of the greater risks involved of a child being born with some kind of disability or hereditary complication and/or disease.
