How old do you think you should be to become a mother?

c

C

I went with C,
but I was 22 when my first was born and 23 when I got pregnant with the youngest.
But speaking from my own experience, I’d say 26 because I think you have more calm and patience at that age.
I was so happy with my kids and still am.
But spiritually, I wasn’t really ready yet in terms of having the patience and calmness.
I think if I had started at 26, I would have been more spiritually prepared.
I’ve always been a good mom, but at that age I always had a bit of inner restlessness because of my age and focusing more on myself.
But that’s different for everyone, of course.

I don't know what to think of it, it's actually quite personal. I had my first child at 19. And I'm really happy because I'm a young mom with a son who's almost 16 now.

I don't think there's actually an age limit on that..
I was 21 when I gave birth, and I often hear that I'm doing a great job as a mom, 'even though I'm still so young'.
My mom was 33 when I was born, and that was only because she met my dad when he was 32.

I was ready for it, regardless of my age. I think that's the most important thing

There’s no age mentioned here.
I’m a bit of an “older” mom myself (37 years old) and I’m glad I didn’t have very young kids. Looking back on my life, I wasn’t really ready for a long time.
But I do think it’s wise to try for kids when you consciously want to, and when it’s actually possible. So that you and your partner are ready and mature enough for it. Not being too immature, without a house or job, etc. (if you accidentally get pregnant, well...then it’s different...then you have to make the right choices for yourself)
The age at which you’re mature enough varies for everyone...some can take care of themselves and a child just fine from age 19...others aren’t ready even at 40.

I recently saw a program about a 16-year-old girl who had all sorts of problems but really wanted a baby. She was already having lots of sex, even unprotected. She argued a lot with her mom, who was terrified her daughter would come home pregnant or with an STI, ruining her youth and forcing her to raise the child herself.
It was really a kid who wanted a kid, because then at least she’d have someone who would always love her, that’s how she reasoned!
That’s definitely a situation you don’t want, I think.

When you have at least 3 things: either you with a job, or your partner.
A house.
And the desire to have a baby.
I was intentionally pregnant at 17.
My partner had a stable job, we bought a house well before the birth, and we wanted our son together. He’s 17 now.
And if it happens through unsafe sex, first look at what’s most important for a child and whether that’s feasible in your situation. Good luck.

I wanted to start with A, but I only got married when I was 22, so now I'm at B...
