Is there a right age to have your first baby?

[AdelineKing]

Myself and my husband have been married for a year, have been together just shy of 10 years, we both have great stable jobs and we have lived together in our house for 3 years now. We feel ready to have a baby but worry that we will get judged as we are ‘only’ 27 and not 30 as I know that 30 is now the average age of first time parents in the UK.

I know it might not happen straight away but does age really matter if we are stable in life and feel ready to be parents? Is 27 really too young or am I just being silly in doubting it?

That’s ridiculous though and you know it. If you want to have kids, you’re really going to need to stop caring what people think because literally whatever you do, you will be judged forever. And a lot of people have fertility problems.

Everyone is different. There's no right or wrong answer here.
I was 33 and that's when I felt settled and ready enough in my life. But that's my life, not yours.

But just to add.. my 13 week + 6 day old just projectile vomited a bottle of milk over me whilst writing this, and I’m now drinking a cold cup of tea. 😵‍💫😂
I love my babies and wouldn’t change a thing, parenthood is the best stage of life! 🥰🥰🥰

There is no difference what age you have your children, i had my first at 18 and my last 10 months ago (i am now 32) im still the same person and therefore parent the same way, only difference is being older was being pregnant seemed more tiring on my body lol xx

Or socially!! My social life would have been ruined having a baby at that age!!

27 married and your own home, good jobs is hardly comparable to 18 yr SIL is it?
None of anyone's business.

I have a friend who had her first at 16 and her second at 36. She says 26 would have been perfect!
