Luckily, today you can choose. If you do not want children, if you want to have them and when to have them. We no longer expect the children to arrive ‘when they have to arrive’, now we plan their arrival because extending the family is not something that can be improvised.
We are wondering what is the best age for having children because there are many opinions about it.
The best biological age to have children
There are studies for all tastes and for all ages, so we do not know which to stay with if you propose the 20 years as ideal biological age or the one who claims that 20 years is too early because our body is still in formation. It may be more accurate that other study that places the 34 years as the best age to be a mother, but gives us only a year of margin, since from the 35 (in this yes there is agreement) increases the risks in the pregnancy.
Continuing with biology, we can talk about that peak of fertility between the 20 and 30 years that make the pregnancy arrive quickly and without complications. From 31, the chances of getting pregnant are reduced to 15%, while at 35, the possibility remains at 8%. There is still scope, because more and more women are encouraged by a maternity in the 40, although at this age the chances of pregnancy are 3%.
The best time to be a mother
But the truth is that whatever the ideal biological age to be a mother, does not correspond to the needs of each woman in particular. While having a child before age 28 seems to guarantee you a good health, a safe pregnancy development and a vigor in the amount you need to raise children, it is not likely that before the 30 you have a stability in The life that, undoubtedly, any child deserves.
The economic and labor circumstances in which we live make maternity delay as long as possible. Older women are in the situation of first-time mothers, with less physical energy to face this stage but with more resources in all areas. Although logically, it is not missing who reaches 40 without any stability. How to choose the age to have children?
Since this is a very personal decision, the ideal age is not marked by any study or by any social convention. You put your rules in your life, that for that you are an empowered and empowered woman. The decision to be a mother will be taken according to the dictates of your heart, because if you hope to have that desirable stability, then you may be past the fertile age.
And you, what do you think is the ideal age to have children?
