Next year when I'm 25. Y'all shouldn't leave it too long. Having kids late isn't good as a user has already pointed out,the quality of egg/sperm decreases as you age.

I thought the word 'broody' had only one, non-reproduction-related meaning before I saw this thread. :facepalm:

Yeah, but it's fine for people who want 1 child. I want a whole litter so I have to start early. I'm not going through all of this monthly pain for nothing :u:

Don't want kids, but if I decide I do it won't be until 30's, career first

You're never ready to have a baby.

And the more you wait until you think you are ready, the less ready you will probably be.

Babies ruin your life. And then build it up again better than it ever was before. That is the way of tiny people.

neeeeeeeeveeeeeeeer :lol:

I was a monster growing up - why would my own hypothetical children be better? the only kind of kid I'd ever want to raise would be one that stayed silent and out of my sight, yet not somewhere without my knowledge, and didn't ask for loads of expensive stuff

What age do you consider fine to have a baby and I don't know who to have a baby with but I want to study for a few years I just feel broody

32...33? I want to qualify for my job first if that even happens.....hopefully find someone by then also.

I don't think there is ever an optimum time, there will always be something that keeps popping up, noisy neighbours, your car has failed its MOT, a friend is onto their third baby and it's making you question your life, etc. I honestly believe that children will come into your life when you need them to, to shape you as a person, to teach you many things, and to discover the highs and lows of being a parent :h:

Nutshell: have a little one when you're in a place to mentally and financially cope with the life-long impact a child will have on you and your life :five:
