Do you think there's a specific age where it's best to have children, or do you think it depends on life circumstances?

I think it's more circumstantial, but between 25-35 seems ideal, rather than having a child in your teens or early twenties. I don't want children, but I do believe it would be best to have some stability in your own life before bringing another form of life into the world.

If you have children, how old were you when you had them?

"It takes a village to raise a child."

As long as you have resources and other people willing to take care of the baby, you can have one at a younger age.

It's when you factor in money, housing and jobs that raising a baby may become problematic.

No, I never had kids.

I'd say 30s
That way you'll probably have your own life together already

Who's the lucky guy you're asking this for? :p

When she gets her first period.

Best would probably be when you're financially stable, you know, have some savings, a job, a house/an apartment... I suppose in a good situation you're in your late 20's early 30's

Do I see this?

No, nothing but broke, slightly delusional people in their early 20's, asking for money and support, while calling you a loser because you're not in a relationship and don't have a kid.

Approximately 29-32. After that, Complications can occur with the Mother carrying the child. Any later than around 38 and there's some major risks involving blood pressure and some other stuff.

Not when your in your 50s or 60s preferably even before 30s. From what I understand Autism in children is supposedly a risk to be considered in the likelyness in older folks.

Did you know that there are actually girls who have given birth at even younger ages than that as sad as it is?

Wait until you're 107, it's the best way to dodge child support.

I don't think it should be about a "best age" or whatever crap society tries to push on to people.
It should be more about, can you support yourself, your child, and your partner? If yes, then yes.
If no to any of those, then no. You're not ready

Also consider your living situation, future prospects, etc. It's dumb to have kids while you're living at home, dumping half the responsibility on the people that raised you. It's dumb to have kids if you don't have a stable income or living arrangement.

All in all, people need to think more about it instead of popping out children willy-nilly.
I don't know where, how or why it was romanticised, but it happened and it's ruining the lives of millions of people who can't think for themselves, let alone for 5 seconds about the life they're about to bring into the world.

We need more education, and more thought put into having children. Your bad decisions WILL affect the life of your child.
Think with your head, not with your heart.

tl;dr - Children are disgusting creatures, but if you insist on having one, you should ensure you're in a position to give it the best life possible.

Pretty sure biologically speaking the best age for a woman to get pregnant is between 18 and 25, for men it's like 18 through mid-40's or something.

In the situation where you have a stable financial, personal en mental situation, I say between 25 - 35.
