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 think 25-28 is the best age to get the kids, above 30 is not better.

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.

i think it is better to have a kid before to put yourself into career
In my opinion, when to have a baby depends on when you are mature / rich enough to have a baby.
If I come out from a poor poor family, parents are old, younger sister /brother (s) is in school, bf is an even poor guy...
So, dear baby, please don't come until mommy is a litter better!
If my parents are rich, my bf is rich, ok, marry, have baby, just have a baby to kill time & help me sparing money!
In fact, I come from a nomal family, no burden, no sponsor. I have found "the one".
Marry is not my personal thing, at least, it is two-persons thing. I want to get marry in 2010 and have a baby in 2012 when I am 27-year-old. My boyfriend want to leave our hometown and earn more money before he being a hunsband & father.
God know what will happen tomorrow. Nowadays, men&women get marry when they are on family way...
No, I don't want to do that. I hate that.
Also, I won't have any baby if I cannot own him/her before my 30-year-old birthday. That's dangerous & hard. I want a healthy baby!
Don't think too much about this topic, babies are predeterminate.
1. understand the world completely. 2. get married and have children. 3. enjoy life.
It is wise to have children more earlier, when baby is old enough to take care of himself/herself, you are still young, so that you can enjoy your life.

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 !
I'm agree with your opinion! It's great success for a women to get a lovely baby and run a good family.
Quoting from [Mary Shao]:
I want to give the baby the best bed ,clothes ,education etc..If i can't ,i will not plan to give a birth .
This is after-all, a personal opinion debate. Very depending. So many poor people out there knew exactly they could not afford the best for their children, yet they gave birth. Giving the best, mentally, to their children. You might be giving the best physical needs to your baby, but u might be far from their mental needs when u are too aged to understand what they actually thinking. Well, that does not applied to all the aged parents tho =) they are still a lot who are old with a young heart.
Plus, it's fate! Some couple married at the age of 20 but that doesn't guarantee they will get a baby for sure. What will be, will be. If you are meant to have it, you will eventually have it.
