Whats the best age to have a baby?

my boyfriend and i want to have a baby when i am 18-20.. would that be a good age?? i am 16 1/2 right now but i want to wait until i finish high school. and when we have a place of our own.. i would really want to have a baby soon.. so what would be the best time for me to have a baby?/?/??//

Answer:
The best time is when the both of you are ready financially and emotionally. You should be able to provide the child with everything it will need with out help, that way when your family does help you can start saving for vacations, college, etc.
The full physical development of the body is not reached until you're 25, give or take. Of course, you can have a baby right now, not everyone should finish high school or god forbid study afterwards.
But - all theories and reprimands aside, some 8.75 months after the conception is generally recognized as the optimal time to have a baby.
20 is gud...and its gud ur waiting ur body will be able to recover better when ur 20...
The best age is when you are emotionally, physically and financially capable of caring for a child. At 18 or 20 will yo be able to provide appropriately for a child? You may feel excited thinking about having your own child to love, but you will be a better parent with more life experience. You and your future child will benefit. Good luck.

This isn't advice from a conservative baby-boomer. I'm a 21 year-old college student and I recommend waiting until you are older.
wait wait as long as you can get things done that u want to do. AS when u have a baby u don't have time for yourself as u have to think about the baby. wait have fun you are only 16. I had my first child last year at 27 years old.
20 is still too young. You are only 16 1/2 and the chances of you being with this guy forever is very slim. You should not even think about having a child until you are out of school, have a good job and become financially independent. If you had any idea how hard raising a child is, you would not even be asking this question.
You need to wait until you are financial stable and emotionally mature. My husbands mother had him when she was 17 and he grew up having nothing until he was about 18 because his parents didnt have any money and they were young. But his younger brother who his mother had at the age of 25, had it soo much easier and gets a lot more things than my husband ever got. So dont be selfish and think about the child, they dont stay babies forever.
