Biologically, your body is best suited to have children in your late teens and early 20's. That is not an opinion, it's a scientific fact. Once you hit around 30, the risks go up every year.
And yet, lately, society thinks it's best to have children around your late 20's.
However, I do believe people should have them whenever they are ready, whether they are 19 or 40, despite the risks (or lack thereof). I personally like to err on the side of science, and my first baby is due to arrive after I turn 22 :)

27 - 29 is the ideal age of having those little ones in your palms.
by 27 one gets financially well settled in life, has seen the ups & downs in career life, is bored with partying, alcohol n stuff and feels like starting life from a different perspective.
Post 30, one gets very lazy and is also burdened with a jobs & responsibilities of what we call life. Medically speaking, a mother's womb doesn't functions properly when it is under-matured (that is in teens) or when it is over-matured (that is post 32 - 35 years of age). Hence the right age for being a mother is between 27 - 29 yrs

physically it is probably best to have a child in your mid 20s - you are still young and healthy (in most cases) and have a lower risk of complications than you would later on.
Young mums also have a higher risk of conditions like pre-eclampsia due to the higher hormones.
I am going to be 25 when my baby is born and feel like I am at a very good age and a very low risk pregnancy.. however each person is different and if they are serious about a career etc may want to wait until later in life!
As long as it suits you I dont think there is a right age - just probably a better age!

I had my son at 21 and am pregnant with #2 at age 23, my parents on the other hand waited to have my bro at 30 and me at 32 and they were way better financially stable at that age where as for me and my husband we both have to work and only live in an apartment but are young enough to play and run around with them and also when they go to college and such me and my husband will still be young enough to go and Travel with out being to old or tired to do what we've always wanted to do so i guess its how you look at it and whether your ready or not.

Well, I'd say around mid-20s to early 30s? It's completely up to you of course, you can have children any time, around this age you may have burdens or financial problems, so whenever you feel ready!! :D

I'd say the best age in my opinion is inbetween 20 and 30 :) Its a bit hypocritical as I'm pregnant and 19, but I think at 20 to 30 is when you kind of start to realise what you want and who you want to be with your whole life and your at your peak so you have energy and your not to old to run around with kids, and your financially stable (usually) so your not to young to support a baby. This is all my opinion by the way hope I havent offended, as I said I'm pregnant and not in the age bracket I suggested.
