My friend is thinking about having kids later in life so that she can get more established in her career is not alone.

The average age of first-time mothers has been steadily climbing in the US, from 21 in 1970 to 25 in 2005.

Any woman reading the endless articles about moms opting out of the workforce or employers cutting back on maternity benefits is right to consider how her career might be impacted by having a child.

What about you, if you are in the same situation, how you will choose?

    I am 30 years old, have no kid for now.  I have no idea it is good or not.

    I personally feel she who has kid  later  will keep a  young heart, since kid will comsume much your time and energy,distract your work, discourage your continuous life learning.

    I guess its up to the woman, I have 2 children age 1 & 2 and I am 25.

    Lets just face it, the older you get the harder it is to conceive which is why so many women are resorting to IVF to have children.

    After the age of 23 your eggs start to decrease dramatically so it is a big decision to make.

    I am glad I had my children at an early age as now I can concentrate on my courier instead of having to put it aside to start a family.

            Having kids, will  be such as a Big Anchor  that can  keep you  high  stand tall  and proud,

            will  give you double energy w/o consume the multi vitamin and Gin Seng/Yang  Shen  or

            Royal Jelly bee Pollen.  

            Dad & Mom could separate but a lovely kids baby will always in the deep hearth.

            Be a parent,  feel a pure love feeling  to own flesh/blood of  Kids  is un comparable.

            Nothing on the world could replace this amazing relation link of parents-kids !

            No  treasure  then  a lovely  Son or daughter  Kids.

            So,  Women let get married  earlier, do not be late...

            Carreer ... it is not the main  excuse as reason,  In fact you only be success in career as

            a  dearest Mommy .that is  the  Career !  whilst the Job/profession/money/wealthy are only

            the support things to be a success Mommy ! Not the other way round. 

            Moreover,  Your  husband is the one who has to earn the family not women alone. ?

            Imagine it ?  you got kids(lovely)  and  husband( earn money) !?  Jack Pot !  Bingo !

    [em2] Sometimes I just hope I've already had a kid,  who is 7 years old,  and I just send him/her to school. Deep inside, I am just afraid of getting tired of by the kid, but on the other hand,  I clearly know it is the happinest thing for a women.

    I will get to my 25 age soon, yet I have not married. So I think I will be likely to have my child after 25. Even though i like children very much indeed, it is further thing that i don't arrange at present. Now focusing on career, and do my best fo success, then my marriage and children.
