Does anyone regret waiting?

My husband and I are 29 - we have recently both become very broody, though there is something holding us back. We both have full-on careers which we enjoy and we are in a good financial position. However it seems babies is something we could keep putting off for whatever reason - to develop careers further/travel more/save more etc.

I actually don't feel like I want to wait, and I think that it's almost societal pressure that women are having babies older these days that makes me think I should too.

Does anyone actually regret waiting until around mid-30's to have a baby, thinking your circumstances would really change and there would be a better time?

Thanks!

29 isn't that early either and it might take you a year or two

I regret it, started trying in my early 30s and im still not pregnant 3 years later. I'm sure that won't be the case for you, turns out we have fertility issues but I do wish I had known sooner
