The Best Age To Start Having Babies. by LadyB(f): 12:33pm On May 26, 2006
Nowdays women are more career orientated. With the university education, and the building of a career. She is focus and determined to get to the top. Because of these , some ladies choose to marry now and postpone the baby making for later. some ladies just postpone the marriage alltogether. Andofcourse we are all aware of the health factor align with age and and starting of a family.

For a young lady , thats very career conscious. And one who feel the need to get settled into marriage and have a family. What would be the best age range that would be advisable for her to get marry and have children?

from my own point of view,
When she think she can'nt control her sexual emotion, that is the time i think a lady is due for marriage, in order to prevent her for committing sin

@charlisco

so when a 15 yrs old girl cannot control her sexual emotion. marriage is the solution. And that would prevent her from committing a sin.

yes that is the solution
Her husband will be using condem to Zap her, so that he does not get pregenant, but that aspect of sexual sin will no longer be committed by the girl in question

Re: The Best Age To Start Having Babies. by my2cents(m): 5:35am On May 27, 2006
Research has shown that women, in the US, who choose career over family, end up making more money than those in the vice-versa situation.

Having said that, my advice to the ladies out there, based on my experiences, is to not plan for a baby per se. Just let it happen. When you plan for it, there is a lot of pressure and as those who live in the US for example can attest, there is so much stress that you can literally miscarry over and over or miss "unsafe" periods altogether. Besides, not all plans go through as planned. I planned to get married at 25. I ended up getting married 4 years later.

Just pray that God should give you a child at his own time, based on your goals in life. If that is 15, so be it. Remember, at least in my opinion, there is so much rampant sex cos pple delay getting married while their sexual desires aren't reducing one bit, especially not with what we see around us on TV et al.

I hope this helps

@ladyb,
The first things in any relationship, is for some basic things to be thrash out ie agreement, because two can't walk together except they agree before going into marriage and everything still depends on ur age.if age is not on ur side get marriage but before then, u and ur partner should agree on what time u want ur babies and u go for family planning. u can hv ur babies in an interval of three or more year depending on ur agreement
Re: The Best Age To Start Having Babies. by mamaput(f): 11:16am On May 27, 2006
I think one has to end up also planning how many children are planned.

If it was Mr. Filch that said that, i wont be surprised, but sir, which one is this sexual sin. And what kind of demon jumps on a 15year old that she cant control herself. And the husband of this uncontrollable-15year old? is he controllable too? or both of them have the same problem.

Better still advice her to keep her legs closed. She could go for spiritual help, if the case gets out of hand,

My brother told me that Children born by ladies between 18-21 usually have a high IQ, and that the IQ level actually decreases the older the woman is. Its not absolute though, but its a high probability.
Re: The Best Age To Start Having Babies. by Genial(m): 8:26pm On May 27, 2006
@ Kimba:

Interesting theory (the age of mother vs. IQ of child thing).

I was born when my mother was in her mid-thirties. What does that imply about my IQ?

grin grin grin
Re: The Best Age To Start Having Babies. by Genial(m): 8:27pm On May 27, 2006
Looks like I'm one of the exceptions to the theory!

grin  grin

Anyway. . . it is believed to be safer for both the mother and child if the mother has all her children before her late thirties. There may be a higher risk of congenital conditions for the child and pregnancy complications for the mother after this time.

Advances in medical science have led (are leading, and will lead) to better medicare and prenatal diagnosis of these genetic conditions in the unborn fetus, with the possibility of correcting or 'pre-empting' them.

It is also not advisable for women to bear children before the age of 16, or before full pelvic growth has been achieved. Child birth by women with under-developed hips are attended by a higher-than-normal risk of VVF - Vesicovaginal Fistula. It's not a nice condition.

Childbirth by women of relatively advanced ages will possibly be a non-issue in the forseeable future; they will be able to have children at any age (after sexual maturity) with little risk to the mother and/or child.
