For your health you are carefully planning when you have children based on your age.
The ideal time for a woman to have a child is a hot topic. Many women adopt pregnancy for several reasons, such as lack of carefree young life, career development, or traveling with a spouse before they start their family. All these motives contradicted many theories that claim that the ideal age for children was twenty years.
But these theories are changing and developing. Scientists now say something different than everyone has heard.
What is the ideal age?
Contrary to popular belief, a study led by Dr. John Mirowsky, a sociologist at the University of Texas, revealed the perfect time for women to bear children is actually age 34.
Here are the facts
The women's health expert stated women should have children at ages 34 and 35 because some areas of the body can develop diseases or health conditions during a woman's 20s. At 34, a woman's body is at optimal health to prepare for and carry a healthy child full-term.
Mirowsky also points out that women should be cautious about having children in their late 30s. As the female body ages, the chances of contracting certain diseases and complications of the reproductive system increases.
Other psychologists are contributing to reaffirm Dr. Mirowsky's theory: women who are 34-35 generally have a solid relationship with their partner, have an ideal amount of energy and vitality, have achieved a certain level of professionalism and are mature enough to effectively raise another person. All of these experiences make the mid 30s an optimal time to conceive a child.
All in all, it's perfectly fine and encouraged to have children in your 30s. Just remember, bringing a new person into this world is a life-changing decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. Plan ahead so you will be prepared for the moment you decide to become a mother.
