A member asked:
At what age is the right time to have a baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: The best response would be when she is emotionally ready.There is increasing risk for complications and birth defects both for women in their early teens and after 40. Women in their early 20 s may have less risk for many issues but be better prepared when older. There is no one answer that fits all situations.
