Too many factors: There is no "one size fits all" answer to that question. P{regnancies in the very young (before 18) and the later in life (after 32) are frought with many health issues that may adversely affect the infant and the mother.

Babies: Your risk of pregnancy complications increases with age. That can have an impact on your health. So having babies at a younger age is less risky.
