- In 2016, for the first time ever, more American women had babies in their early 30s than in their 20s. Giving birth at any age comes with changes - to your body and bank account. But there are some key differences between giving birth in each decade.

Giving Birth In Your 20s VS Your 30s 
Наука
The best time to have kids is when you're mature enough not to treat them like a burden on your life.
yep
this. this.
The number of parents I see who don’t want to be parents is sad,
Okay 50 then
Great way of putting it!
20s = body is right .
30s = money’s right .
Alissa rosenbaum no🤣 age doesn’t mean money. I have more money than most 30 year olds I know. And I’m 18.
@@bella4lyfe0 thats probably your inheritance?
Khushi Sharma I don’t have a inheritance lol. My moms a waitress and my dads a restaurant cook lol
Ladies, you do realize that men are getting prepared to take care of the money problem, right ? So pick the right guy and only worry about health. ☺
@@bella4lyfe0 sorry... So you earned it from your business maybe
My mom had me at 43 my dad was 47.
And let me tell you they are the the best parents ever!
They were always chill and understanding
Same
Jeez that's far too old. I could never.
Awwww. So happy that your mum had a safe pregnancy and now you’re here. ❤️❤️
@@gecenthareynolds2658 thank you☺
Wow were your parents ever married to anyone before with any kids?
Early 30s seems perfect, young enough to be youthful and old enough to go through a lot of life experiences. Of course I’m speaking for myself. Everyone sees life different
I agree
That's the most ideal stage of your life when you're mature enough and mentally strong to go through pregnancy. And yeah wealthy enough so as not to compensate for any of your luxuries.
I would like to have it at my late 30s, I am graduating from medicine, 😬I wanna enjoy my work
Jesus started his ministry in His early 30s. 😁
@П. even better, I know Him. 😁
Having a baby in their 30's is not what caused those women to live longer; they were a different population. Individuals who tend to wait to have children tend to be more educated and have healthier habits, which leads to their living longer.
Great point! Correlation not causation.
Correlation isn't causation as others have said, so almost the entire video is a useless contortion of data.
Though they didn't say wait until 30s, they said last child in their 30s. So someone can start in their 20s, and continue having children until their 30s. I don't know if that changes the conclusion though.
Yes and less stress means better health
I totally agree with you.
Yes exactly, it’s a matter of higher socio-economic status. Wealthier women tend to live in areas that encourage them to get a college education, including grad school and start a high-powered career. There tends to be more emphasis on travel, career advancement, and getting married before even thinking of having a child. They are also healthier on average. That is probably why the health issues weren’t as prevalent.
I’m currently 33 and pregnant with my first babies (yes I’m having twins). For me, this is the perfect time. I got to enjoy my 20s, finish college, travel, and enjoy my marriage for 4 years. Now I can enjoy being a mommy and give my babies the attention they need. ❤️
Wish u a safe delivery 💖
Yes!! You are blessed. I wish u all the best and them precious babies
Happy for you!
this is amazing wishing you all the best
If you work full time, you're still putting your education and job before your kids. Putting your kids in daycare, the only acceptable form of neglect.
My parents told me weekly that a baby would ruin my life while I was growing up. (Normal don't have sex scare tactics) Now that I'm in my late 20s they're pressuring me into having one and I'm like... Naw, you said they would ruin my life. I think I'll just be selfish and enjoy free time ☺️
I need to understand the full story as to really see what happened....but I would say it's never really difficult as people make out out to be really or atleast what people I trust told me...it really depends on the genes of the parents on how babies demeanour come out like the people who told me that are usually out going, stoic, "problem solver" and smart so I have seen their teenagers be the same as their dad less of a trouble maker....sure there are moments here and there but it really is because they are still in their development phase and their human brains are still developing and mostly the problems aren't that serious. Well take my advice and go when your financially stable and mature and will understand life better and start forward thinking rather being the edgy teenage pessimist.....
Have a nice day!
@Precious Erving-Frimpong people don’t need to have children to be happy, and if you don’t have the mental capacity to have children that’s ok 👌
Omg parents sometimes XD now they want grandkids huh? They’re probably bored now that you’re older and want someone to spoil, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for them to be telling you what to do, especially when it would be you that would have to take care of a baby, not them.
Tell them to stfu. They have no right to pressurize u to have a baby
Spot on!
I'm having my first baby in 4 weeks and I'm 36. Never been healthier in my life than now, and my baby is perfect, no complications, never ever felt bad , I felt kinda sleepy the first month , and my hips hurt a bit now that he is head down , but that's about it, I've never had this energy or this kind of mental peace before in my life. I'm actually still going to work everyday and very active! Definitely the right choice for me to have my baby at this age! It's been a dreamy pregnancy and I'm very grateful! Don't be afraid to wait ladies
Have they been born?
My mom had me at 37
Your kid in his twenties and definitely in thirties will see you as grandma more than a mother though. That's what you have to deal with.
@@roenin my mother had me in her 30's, I'm in my 20's and she still looks just like the mom I always remember her to be, maybe just a little looser around the edges. I don't think that the 'this is mom' instinct could be shaken no matter how old either of you get
@@roenin True. My parents had me when they were older (my dad was 53) and other kids always thought they were my grandparents and laughed at me... Also, this generation gap makes it so hard for me to communicate with them... Having a kud when you're older is not that fun actually especially for the kid!
My mom had me when she was 30 and I’m now that I’m 33, I’m always getting her confused for my grandma… not. Past 18, I think kids think about this way less. Their parents are just this abstract vision they summon for money.
I think giving birth later means that the parents are more mentally prepared to raise a kid plus they are financially stable and can take care of the expenses better. So they can raise happier and healthier kids
Exactly. That's the only difference
Happier? Not completely
I dont think that age prepares you for IT... Just saying i Was ready...
Financially prepared, yes. Mentally, no. No amount of prep or education can get you fully ready for the stress of raising a child.
That’s too risky for the baby.
My mom was 39 when she gave birth to me and 41 to my sister. My classmate before even thought that she was my grandma but who cares. She's the best mom🤷♀️❤️
It was the opposite toward me. My mom had my brother and I very young. Everyone always mistaked her as our older sister or the babysitter. As long as mom is loving and takes care of you then age doesn't matter.
my mom had me at 40!
@@apples6244 that's very true😊❤️
@@apples6244 so good having mom who looks like your older sister you are lucky
i agree ur point... age is does not a matter only mother' s pure love won ur heart and my heart also such a golden comment iam so happy to replay your comment......i feel so proud of u ......ur mother is really lucky to have u as her child
Having kids when parents aren't ready just leads to toxic homes filled with frustration with parents blaming each other.
That does more damage
Or the couple is already have problems in their relationship but the woman is already pregnant so they're just staying together for the kid(s) and that creates a really dysfunctional household where it's toxic and everyone wants out but can't. (Speaking from experience)
Right, age is only important if under twenty or 4O+ for Women and 5O+ for men but ignoring age there are even bigger factors into having healthy children such as the financial and mental health of both parents involved.
My mom had me at 41. She’s now 73 and still moves around like she’s in her 20s.
god blessssss her
Well thats too old idk
That's very great to hear :)
See I think it really just comes down to the person. My aunt just had her kids in her 40's (and she didn't even birth them, her wife did) and her body is wearing down fast. She used to be quite the athlete and then like, 44 hit and she's never been the same.
Meanwhile my grandmother had her kids young (20-24 when she gave birth) and was really spry up until cancer took her real fast in her 60's.
Then my great grandfather (despite most of the men of the family dying relatively young) is kicking around at 93 still doing all his own yardwork, cooking, cleaning, etc.
But my paternal grandfather didn't even make it to 34 (also cancer).
I'm always glad to hear of older people staying healthy and spry...but there's a lot of young people who take that longevity for granted and think they are guaranteed to get that 80 sem-odd years lol.
Gotta enjoy life while you have it and put less worth on the concept of numbers (I gotta do this by that, or I gotta wait until this) :)
@@An_anshika710 literally who cares what you think bro
Just get kids when you’re ready for it girls
The best advice.
A sensible person.
Or never
Atie Kitkat or keep your legs closed at parties
Lmfao @ "get kids" wth xD
my mom was 36 when she birthed me. we're broke and she never went to college. im short and stupid. i have no twin.
moonie awww 😭
you're stupid because you're saying that about yourself !
moonie
ok you’re only stupid if you tell yourself you are so don’t be so harsh on yourself!
My mom was 40 for me. I'm tall and a 95 average...
Use your phone or computer to read instead of watching you tube not fiction,something informative. Go volunteer at a hospital to become wise. Go volunteer at a shelter and see if you think you are still broke. You need book smart and street smart. Those 2 will transform you into a better human being trust me.Come back after you do all of that and thank me. Wether it be years or months.
I had kids in my early 20s and now I have a teenage who I can keep up with and enjoy many fun adventures with. My daughter is my size and height and we sometimes share shoes and clothes..it’s not that bad to have kids earlier. It’s about what works for you and your partner and the lifestyle you both created together and the many memories of getting there together!
Goals! Hehe happy for you!
Same here 🥰
I think any age from 2O-5O good so as you are financially stable and able to properly care for the child with at least a six figure annual income.
I also have a daughter close to my age and we enjoy those things. But I’m sorry you can’t afford to give your kids nothing. You have no career and no money in your early 20’s, my daughter struggled with me financially and that wasn’t fair to her
@@brendabenitez7359 well they are well dressed, well fed, has too many toys, lives in a very comfortable home and got to travel occasionally. They didn’t really struggle. Money was tight on a monthly basis for mom and dad but we made it! The way I see is struggling is part of life rather it’s in a form of having a child at a younger age or struggling physically, emotionally, childhood traumas or with other things in life. Sometimes struggling help us grow stronger mentally. I’m just glad to have kids young, it work out in our circumstances. I want to start my family young and do fun things with them in my 30s and I fulfilled that dream and currently enjoying every part of that decision right now. Not everyone can or desire to do that, I know.
I'm 32 and pregnant with my first baby. It seems like the perfect time. We're settled in our careers, own an income property, traveled a bit, enjoyed our marriage for 2 years and this just seems like the natural next step.
30s? I see babies getting shot out of my highschool peers like NASA shuttles.
UPDATE: Its January 30 2021, I'm no longer in highschool, and there are still hundreds of NASA shuttle babies coming from my friends and peers.
Decent 😂😂
same lmao ik..what is it , a new trend..?
So... Not very often then? Because that's how often NASA sends shuttles up.
@@AdeleiTeillana often enough that when it happens no one really cares anymore
@@decent2613 You do realize that NASA hasn't sent a shuttle up since 2011, right? I don't call that "often enough" that no one notices.
I tried for a baby for the first time at 34 and BAM! Here I am, 24 weeks pregnant 😬 thought it would take me over a year
@Reagan's America thank you ❤️
How exciting that you succeeded on your first try! Congratulations!! ☺️🎊
@@amedori18 thank you so much!
They be saying the sperm and eggs thingy is so sensitive yet yall be taking over a year to get pregnant- This don't make sense tbh.
Good luck lol
I desperately wanted to give birth in my twenties but it did not happen for several reasons - I could not afford to support a child, my relationship did not work out, I was busy working developing career. Now in my early thirties with a steady 9-5 job making six figures, I feel much more secure about having a kid.
I have a cousin in the same boat, hope it works out for her.
Try for one and maybe think about adopting if god doesn’t let a birth happen for you. There is no reason a woman who wants to raise babies should ever be without a baby. ❤️
🙏
I agree
🙂 Me too... I'm in the same situation. I feel more secure now. But I think I might like taking some parenting classes.
I had my children in my 20s when I was young enough to enjoy them and energetic enough to run after them. Now I'm in my 50s and can still play with my grandchildren with no major illnesses and aches and pains. I'm still young enough to travel and live a fulfilling life. No soccer games, carpools and PTA meetings. I have complete mental, spiritual physical and emotional freedom. I'm happy that motherhood stage of my life is over.
Who says people don't have the energy in their 30s? They're 30, not 70!
I feel the same way. I've had my children young and by the time I'm an empty nester I would still have the energy and stamia to hang with the grand kids. Given several diseases I have which slow me down already, I'm glad I had my kids early as the opportunity may have passed me by had I waited.
@@vivalachoba I know I had a lot more energy as a 20 year than I did as a 30 year and kids require a lot of energy. I think the number of kids you want would also be a factor as running after 3 is different to running after 1.
Either way, she's sharing her story and she's happy with her decision. Sounds reasonable to me.
Thank you for sharing. I love and respect people wanting to wait for their 30s. But when I hear things like "kids will be smarter and happier if you are 30 and not 20" I feel so sad. My baby is loved and wanted even though I am 23. I want to live a happy and full life even if I didn't do everything everyone else's way.
Thank you for sharing feeling hopeful! This comment section makes it seem as if you can’t be capable in your twenties. 26 going on 27 and I’m happy I had my son when I did
I feel like the next generation is going to stop having kids altogether at this point 😂
I mean there is more than enough kids in an orphanage for everyone to have a few kids.
The dumb people will never stop reproducing, so have no fear!
With the risk of dying of tubal pregnancy in some states, yeah
Not trying to slam you with words, but I wanted throw my take in at this gag - 30 really isn't that old. If people were all of a sudden only getting pregnant at 60-70. Then you should be worried (much less see how many of them would actually conceive successfully). 30 is a relatively good age to have kids honestly. Hypothetically speaking at that point in life you've got your life together, stabililty, possibly a degree or two, money, and your body/mind is more prepared. Truthfully, its a wonderful age to raise kids at and probably a lot healthier. People are beginning to live a lot longer so no wonder everyone is starting to have kids in later years. I doubt it will really put that much of a dent in the population. We're technically overpopulated as we speak so birth rates going down for a time isn't gonna kick us in the arse too hard. That's if it even manages to bring them down the slightest notch - which I doubt. Considering the video just said you're more likely to have twins at 30 which doubles the amount of kids.
@@3StarLogo no. There is only about 50, 000.
"You're more likely to have twins in your 30s"
20s it is then.

@@WRizzesits *woah.*
I'd rather use my 20's for fun, education, and my career. I'd like for my child to be in a home with a stable income and at that point I'll be more stable as a person too
Indeed parents that tend to wait instead of having a kid out right tend to be more stable (both in maturity and income) and have had the time to either do whatever they at one point wished to do or had plenty of time to work on thier careers and therefore are more stable to having a child with a good income to help and they can focus almost entirely on their children
But as always it's a person's decision so it's up to them to choose wisely
@@laurag8126 While you are correct on the education and career bit, I do have to say that there's no point in being so hostile.
If someone wants to be an older parent, let them.
Personally I enjoyed having younger parents growing up (well, to be fair my whole ass family is "younger", I still have great grandparent's knocking about and driving and I'm 26 lol) and I think that there's a lot of undue stigma of having kids "too young" (very very early 20's) that needs to be abolished.
But, at the same time, I know some parents who had absolutely no business being parents in their 20's, and "missing out" on a pure wild time in their life caused them to go buck wild in their 30's and 40's ruining their kids and their own lives. If they had waited, they might have been able to get it out of their system before bringing kids into the mix.
Some of my friends had older parents and loved/love them and the life that being "older parents" afforded them, and wouldn't have had it any other way.
Yet, some other parent's I know if they had waited to be parents for too much longer... well... they wouldn't have been, or for some, they died just after having kids in their 30's-40's (one from a congenital defect and another from sepsis), leaving their kids with little to no memories of their parents whatsoever.
There is no "time" to be a parent.
Sometimes "growing up" means having the maturity to know yourself and what would be good for you, and your family.
For me, that means a younger mom with a strong support network of family and friends to make up for less independent stability.
For them, maybe that means being an older parent with more investment capital for their children under their belt, and their ducks squared in a row.
@@laurag8126 nah,the kids won't hate having "grandpa parents" at all.
My parents had me at their early 40s,and they were the best parents I could ask for.
Stop with that bs
@@mercy5004 I totally agree with you on that hostility part especially. Some of the 20s or teen moms in the section seem to be quite aggressive in their responses 🙄🙄
@@laurag8126 and it’s also a plus for a kid to come on earth in a financially and emotionally stable and ready household. Most people do not get their money game together before the late twenties-early thirties. And it takes 2 to procreate. Hence you also need to find a partner that’s on the same path as you. How do you get to know someone? By dating that person for a couple of months or even years ( as it’s recommended). Adding up all of that, many people, especially in the US where inflation is killing us would rather wait to be in their 30s to have kids.
Their comparisons don’t seem scientifically relevant. They aren’t comparing related groups or related issues.
True
Saving you 3mins. The Answer is Money! 🦀
Yup lol
And longer life, better health, smarter kids and higher chance of twins.

Agreed! I'm 33 and having my first child in a couple months.

@@laurag8126 that’s how life is. You have a career and financial security comes with age.
@@MelaniaRoseexcept you can have both at a young age and neither at an older age I’ve met 40 year olds that still have to work 5 jobs just to support themselves and I’ve met 18 year olds with houses and cars already maturity doesn’t always come with age and being young doesn’t always make you immature
I’m 23, had my first baby at 22 and got accepted into my top choice for my PhD, and my daughter is thriving, beautiful, and so loved. You can have a career and kids too. It’s all in what you want to do and making no excuses!
Phd at 23, how? I turned 25 last month and about to finish grad school. I'm so over the party culture, just want to graduate and start my adult life. I've had my fun.
@@justalostcause4425 I graduated with my BS at 21. I double majored. I took a gap year to get married and happened to get pregnant during that year as well. Im a first year. A lot of PhD students already have masters and they are older than 25. Not everyone finds out their passion right at the beginning of college. Also, people have major life changes, and sometimes the timing or even finances doesn't; work out. Some people also just don't have the support. just because people are on a different path than you or on the same path at a different time does not mean you are better or worse than them. I had a baby AND I am doing school. If anything, I think it is better for people to learn about who they are before rushing to finish a career they might hate in the future.
Exactly ! I’m doing my masters in 24 pregnant with my first. My next step is pursuing my PhD. You can definitely do both and I’m sick of people discouraging young women from having kids. My mom started at 18 and has her masters degree. Anything is possible if you want it. Older doesn’t mean more successful or stable either.
I believe you. Now that you're a mom, one big advantage you have is not wasting your 20s by having superficial "fun" and becoming more responsible, careful, mature and dedicated.
@Noellis Unrestricted casual "fun" as per my personal research and studying has not contributed to any happiness, if anything temporary spike in dopamine and then feeling of emptiness. You know that too deep down unless you're clouded. Anyways, you do you. To each their own.

My mom had me when she was 35 and my father was 42.... I was born extremely healthy and Even my mother was totally fit and fine after she gave birth.
I am my parents first and only child.
All my friends and most people in family were born to their mother in their mid twenties,and somehow I have the best health among them till date.As my parents are a bit older and thus more matured, I feel they were able to raise me better than most because of their experiences in life.I till now have an amazing bond with them...
Also my parents were able to enjoy and utilise their 20s better. My father was able to establish himself very well as a doctor, and my mom learnt french, driving and taught in a school as well as took spoken English classes....also They were able to provide me with stable financial and mental environment for they were themselves stable .

Wait to you’re to old wasted ur life
Had a baby when i was 29, it was so hard. Had another when i was 31, it was an easier pregnancy. Sometimes each pregnancy is just different. By the way, they are both girls.
It's actually better mentally when you wait to have kids, you're better prepared financially and you're at the point in your life when you actually want them and are tired of living just for yourself.
Do you wish you didn’t have the baby at 29? And maybe waited another year or two?
I was 35 when I delivered my second child. Starting a family in your mid to late thirties is the norm now. I remember taking the birthing class and being afraid I’d be the oldest, but everyone was around the same age accept one much younger woman.

I’ve always wanted to become a mother young it’s my dream, got married at 20 now 21 and I would lovee to get pregnant around 22 or 23 (my husband has good income so financials is not a problem) I already went through all the flack for getting married young and not “living my 20s” whatever that means. As if you can’t still enjoy your life and travel after marriage. Now I have to mentally prepare myself for all the judgement for being a young mom as I’m sure I’ll receive it whenever I do get pregnant
You really only mentioned early 20s and mid to late 30s. You're missing a 9 year gap 25-34
Probably the ideal age, would account for best of both extremes.
HIFLY - the info is WRONG anyway. They used a study from the farmers wives in the 1800s in France!
Right, I'm 28 and pregnant with my first child, due in August
I’m glad someone said it
The 1st graph also doesn’t even mention the 35-40 year olds
My mom was 36 when she gave birth to my little brother.
She's 44 currently, and is the world's best mom, I have to say it.
So how old when she gave birth to you?
Bro... my mom was 23 when she had me. And it was the struggle for real. But when she had my little bro at 39, she treats him wayy better than I was ever treated in my childhood 😂😂
My mom had me in her 42
@Jessica Marie 34 isn't old though, just more mature
@@bebemax95 the brain isn't fully developed until the mid 20s. Decision making and impulsiveness improves significantly for most after 25. No matter how good a father or mother you try to be, you will have the potential of being far better if you wait till your prefrontal cortex has fully developed.
I‘m pregnant with my first child and I’m 25 years old. For me, this is the perfect time plus my partner and I are financially stable ☺️ it’s different for everyone, there’s no perfect time in general!
It’s crazy how having your first baby at 25 makes it seem like you’re young compared to everyone in their 30s but I’m 25 and 6 months pregnant and I think this is a good age!
As someone who is 34 I think everyone calling 30 an "older age" deserves a slap.
I’m 35 & thinking the same thing 😏
Idc no way I'm raising a kid in my 20s, that's basically college years and figuring out adult life smh
Anna Marie right
That's the way to go. I'm 25 and I've got a coworker the same age with two kids. We are on vastly different stages in life and I'm very glad I dont have kids yet. I've also had the time to climb up the career latter more and have a higher income despite working at the same company in a similar role.
Ladder... auto correct
I’m pregnant at twenty one and wouldn’t change it for the world.
I never thought I would be blessed with a family and it’s a dream come true.
Although younger parents may have a harder time in life with a child, it’s still beautiful.
I have been through so much and I know I will be an amazing mother with a happy and intelligent child whose taken care of.
Glamorous Taee
I’d strongly disagree with your comment and have disagreed with similar comments before I beat teen pregnancy.
I’ve noticed that older parents are usually on the news killing and harming their children.
I know plenty of teen mother’s who work hard and finished school and have wonderful lives and so do their children.
I guess it depends on the person.
I’m 23 and I’ve never cared nor dreamed about having children. The thought of rearranging my life to take care of another little human may bring delight to others and that’s great, but I just know I’d be miserable and that wouldn’t be fair for either of us. I’ve accepted the fact that the rich aunt lifestyle is the one for me. 🥂

i’m 20 and having my first baby soon. there’s a lot of women telling me that i wouldn’t be able to travel, enjoy my 20s or even say that it will just be a burden. i do not invalidate their experiences with having a child so young but i would like to say there are few women (like me) who love the idea of raising children and having a family early. there’s nothing wrong with preferences. i’m married, financially stable, and have my own home and i feel that i’m ready to give my child everything they may need.
Thank you. That's is all I can say
20 was a pretty common child bearing age for most of human history and still is for most of the developing world too 👍
@@douche8980 Right…it was common when you croaked at 39. Now we live until 95. The problem with having kids at 20, is that your 20’s are for making mistakes to gain wisdom. The world is much more forgiving when you want to sew your oats in your 20’s. When women spend their 20’s having babies and their husbands leave them when theyre between late thirties and forties…these divorcees tend to want to make up for lost time. The world is far less forgiving when your 42 bringing boyfriends around your kids because you were stuck in the house with a husband and babies since 20. No one cares now because women aren’t “forced” like they used to be.
My mom had me at age 30, and I'm fine. I'll have my first kid at age 32. I don't want to raise my kids in poverty.
Same here

What does age have to do with raising kids in poverty?
@@Alex-gq5no I'm in my 20s and broke. Most of us in our 20s are broke, so we want to wait until we are financially stable to have kids. Often times, we get more financially stable in our 30s because of the economy being bad right now, and us just starting out in our careers in our 20s and earning a low starting wage while holding student debt.
Good luck with planning that exactly....

I had both my kids in my early 20's and I always loved being a mom. My daughter is my best friend and I can't wait to travel and enjoy adventures with them as well! I wouldn't change a thing! Sometimes having kids at a younger age means you have more of your freedom later on in your late 30's and 40's. It's just personally what works for you. There is no right or wrong choice here.

Kids in 30s - Enjoy 20s
I lived my 20s … 30 and 31 works great
I’m 32 and pregnant with my second. Had my first when I was 25. This pregnancy is just as healthy as the first as far as gaining the right weight and everything going smoothly. My mental health is in a way better place now compared to my first pregnancy though.
Had my first son at 25 (was pregnant while 24) and now pregnant with my second at 31 and being pregnant at 24 was WAY easier than now. Just my experience.
Most people this study is #fakenews I don't know anyone in their early 20s that have any complications... It's always older moms
I believe it. I am 31 and pregnant and feel like sh*t physically and emotionally.
**Side note: Happy about my baby, of course, but I think the stress of my body adjusting to this huge change makes me irritable and the morning sickness does not help the situation.
Abigail D. You are 100% correct. It was way better when I was younger this pregnancy is so much harder.
@@Nayero26 although age is one of the factors, it is more likely the mother's overall health and family history. A healthy 35 year old can have an easier pregnancy than an unhealthy 20 year old.

This is a so comforting vid for a women like me in my early 30's who wishes to have a family but full of doubts and fears of having one due to the things i see that some of people i know have a hard time bearing one
The best time to have a child is when you are ready to have one. It's completely up to you if it's in your 20s, 30s or 40s or never!
I'm glad I can wait even longer if I wanted 😂

I’m 26 weeks pregnant at 31 and mentally I feel super stable and prepared.
I travelled the world, spent years in college, got to enjoy all my free time, danced on many stages as a performer and now im ready to invest in my little one. There’s no way I wanted to do this in my 20’s but I always knew that :)
Financially, emotionally, mentally and spiritually - I am so much more ready.. but I do admit I bet my body would have managed the aches and pains better in my 20’s 😂
I had my baby at 18 and that was perfectly fine for my baby and I. Age does not always indicate maturity or ability to raise the child. I'm glad I had my baby because he is a beautiful human being and I love him. And we are both healthy and stable. Don't always judge situations or people based off of a little thing.
Exactly this I’ve met horrible abusive parents that are older and I’ve met amazing parents that are younger I’m 19 and pregnant and married and have already been through so much just from my life being difficult my childhood ended early and I was ready to move past that I’m happier than I’ve ever been and financially and emotionally as stable as I can be

They should include statistics about infertility.
No one knows beforehand if it's going to take 5yrs to get pregnant. It's a very important part of deciding when to try.

What about having kids in your 40s? My mum gave birth to me when she was 37 and my sister at 40
I have two kids and I’m 23. My mom had two by 24 and is in her late 40s, my dad is 45. They are empty-nesters and have four grandkids, absolutely living their best life! When my mom goes out in public with my babies people can’t believe she is their grandma! They always tell me this is the best phase of their life and they’re glad they started young. Ladies, have kids whenever you are emotionally able to care for them. You don’t need to be “rich” to raise amazing and successful children!
Honestly thank you for this message I’m 22 and married and just found out I’m pregnant... I felt like I made a mistake to conceive this early on but in my heart I wanted to have as much of an opportunity to be with my children from a young age.... even though society(aka friends and family)says I haven’t even “lived” yet.
What life I was supposed to live I’m still trying to figure out🙃😂
Anyway thank you for this....

Because it technically doesn't
Because it’s the woman who does it...

I miscarried at 11 weeks during age 20. I'm now 35 and 13 weeks pregnant with a baby who is healthy and measures ahead at every scan.
20s= you use youthful energy to keep up
30s= you outsmart them with wisdom
You are very correct
Mid 20s to mid 30s seems to be ideal for women to settle down and have kids.
the woman's mental health, maturity, and stability are just as important to take into consideration when determining the "best age" for baby making.
People are crazy with the whole "you'd better pop them out before you're 30 or it'll be too late, you've hit the wall!" Mentality. As are those that think it's ok to wait til their 40s. That's quite unrealistic too. Find the healthy medium.
You're absolutely right! My mom had me when she was 34 and I've noticed huge differences in her parenting style and mentality compaired to mothers that had their kids in their 20s. She would not take stupid risks that would possibly harm me, she was patient enough to educate herself in terms of baby/child care, she would make sure my needs came 1st because she was willing to make huge sacrifices for her child. And that's because she spent her 20s going to college, treating herself, getting into a well paying job, travelling, etc
I think it's just good for women to realize that they dont even know if they're fertile in the first place or how long theyll be fertile.
I know women in their mid 20s who are struggling with fertility
So waiting could really hurt their chances
In any case
I think women should get their hormone levels and such tested every so often if they even slightly think they might eventually want children
That way they can catch any imbalance early and work to balance it out as early as possible
@@illiah9784 Please stop. Fertility is entirely based on the individual woman's genetics and lifestyle. But mostly genetics because some women are genetically predisposed to endocrine disorders that cause infertility before mid 20s. Even late teens. PCOS, NCAH, aromatase deficiency, etc come to mind. There is a difference between a collective and individuals health needs.
@@cashmereglow7549 please stop telling women if they think they might want children to keep in check with their fertility and health?
Oookay
You're right. It is down to the individual womans health and lifestyle.
That's why I'm saying these individual women should all individually get check ups to make sure they are healthy and fertile.
So if there is any issues or off hormones they can catch it asap. Not once they actually want babies.
What should they do?
Not keep in check with their health?
What is there to disagree with in what I've said?
@@illiah9784 I only said "stop" because you were spreading misinformation regarding fertility. Those conditions I listed makes it much harder for young girls and women to properly ovulate and produce the balanced amount of reproductive hormones that aid in fertility. It can start as early as age 17. I didn't necessarily oppose to what you said about getting early blood panels prior to conceiving. It's imperative for all young women to consult with their GPs, endocrinologists, and OBGYNs to ensure their bodies are healthy metabolic and reproductive wise.
I'm 38 and got pregnant within 10 weeks 😊
Having my first this summer and I am 22! This was NOT the original plan, but my husband and I are in a great place to raise kids (he’s 27). Emotional maturity, a house, savings (financial stability).

Mother nature gives us all a window of time to produce our offspring and for those who miss the boat there is always adoption or buying a pet for company 👍

My mom had me at 40, and the experience was mixed. They were more stable financially than my friends parents, but there was less physical play time and more naps for my parents than for me. I guess it's sort of a balancing act, but it does put a burden on your children in their mid 20s to start taking care of you.

Honestly if you think your ready emotionally and financially for it then it doesn’t really matter when you decide to have them. Your life your journey.
I started having children in my early 30s. And I can say that I am way more responsible and prepared mentally than I would of been in my 20s. My 20s was a mess and I just partied all the time. When I got into my 30s, a lot of my views changed and I started to want different things. I am thankful and consider myself lucky to have waited til I was mentally there. The only thing I can say that is worse having kids in your 30s is that I feel more tired and don't have that energy that I had in my 20s. Also I have to add that having kids gave me a new perspective, goals and wants in my life. Being a good father and raising my kids to be kind and respectful is my #1 goal in life!
I was healthier when I had my youngest at 32, than I was when I had my oldest at 22.
Age does not matter if livelihood is healthy.
And grandparents-to-be are healthy. Childcare costs about $800 to $1600 per mo in my area (most expensive for babies). That's for daycare. Private care costs $22 to $25 per hr. If you are older, you are reeeeaaaallllly going to miss that free childcare from your parents. And, if grandparents get sick and elderly? Guess who has to make their meals and help them toilet, too?
COrrect
You’d think that. But coming from a healthy women who struggled with infertility for almost 4 years at the age of 25 I’m very glad it was at 25 and not 35. “Health” isn’t always the be all. There is so much more to it then this video talks about.
Healthy doesn’t always equal fertility unfortunately
My mom had me when she was 26 and she had my brother when she was 30. She's still in perfectly good shape :)
22 and pregnant with my 1st. I have always wanted to have children early so I can be in their lives longer but whatever age you decide, as long as you love your babies that’s what matters
@Noellis jinx what?
You didnt talk about infertility or more chances to have your baby with more sindromes .
yeah, the chance of having a baby with sindromes is way higher in your 30s, and even higher in the 40s. But I'd say that this is not really a problem, since I'm totally ok with early pregnancy abortion.
I've read that it's more syndromes (birth defects) due to the age of the male and his inability to produce the amount and quality of "soldiers," that he produced in his 20's. Men at age 50 have a 6x higher rate of producing a child with defects than in his 20's and it doesn't matter what age the female is.

Scarlett Cobain exactly lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣 thinking the same
Odds of getting pregnant in an entire year of trying at 40 are 36%. By 45 only 1 in 20 will get pregnant after a year. If you are married and relatively stable financially, I recommend you don't wait too long. Even if you have your first at 35 (only 1 in 2 get pregnant in a year), if you want to bless your child with a sibling at 37, it will statistically take a couple years or possibly not occur at all. If a couple has to pay for fertility treatments, there goes the money they saved by waiting to have children.
I fear too many women may miss the blessing of children if they wait for the "perfect" time or pour everything into career only to find career will never love you back.
40s is definitely too old if you want to have good chance of having a healthy baby and siblings for the baby

Congratulations! I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy💕
My mom had me when she was 20. She’s a mother of three now, has 3 bachelor degrees and we are best friends. Age is nothing without motivation. Would’ve been easier for her without us to get her degrees? Sure! But having me and my sisters didn’t stop her for minding her own business and taking care of herself.
Where do you guys get your information from? Maybe consider including your reference in the description box
Nadia Goutam the info is WRONG so I doubt they would cite sources. They literally put whatever they wanted.
Nadia Goutam it’s at the end of the video underneath “sources”
Nadia Gutam Thank you!
@@rosyorbit9229 nope those are more links to their other videos
@@jessymonster all kinds of sources have these statistics, the government etc. And none of it means anything because people defy statistics all the time. If you are 20 something having a kid or already have kidz, be honest and look around at majority of the other people in their 20s compared to teens with kids. Think about yourself as you get older you probably learn a little bit more about life and learn from your mistakes. We get wiser... I mean most of us do. That doesn't mean you can't succeed at 20 it just means that more people that are at that age are facing different struggles. Most of the time as we age and get more experienced we make more money which we are usually able to provide more stability... of course there is older as well who end up with set backs etc.
I’m not sure if I want kids yet but I’d rather do it in my 30s so I can have fun in my 20s
U can have fun with kids
Princess Chi that’s true but it costs more money and I’m kind of impatient in the first place so I guess maybe they aren’t for me. Still too young to decide tho
Princess Chi I think she probably means partying and clubbing 😀
Sarah Brennan or travelled the world? Lol thats more fun than clubbing
@@indiaxlovee you actually sound more like a karen
First kid in my early 20's.
2nd (same relationship) 15yrs later.
Had both natural.
Fortunately, good diet, exercise and willingness to evolve are values passed down in my family.
Here In India society pressurize woman's to have baby in teen age or in early twenties. Most of the girl do the same. The in laws and relatives deside on when the couple have baby. And if you don't listen to them they will make your life a true hell.
I feel pitty for them they don't have there own life.
Stop spreading rumors no one forces to have kid in their teenage unless until they are socially dangerous beings and stop generalizing whole india if u are in a shitty place of India here in South of India mostly woman are giving birth after they are crossing their 25 or more even I think it is same for west and east of india
