Child Bearing

Technically, women can get pregnant and bear children from puberty once they start getting their menstrual period to menopause once they stop getting it. The average woman’s reproductive years are b/w ages 12 and 51.Your fertility naturally declines as you grow old, which could make it harder for you to conceive. And starting a family later in life could pose greater risks for pregnancy complications.Experts say the best time to get pregnant is between your late 20s and early 30s. This age range is associated with the best outcomes for both you and your baby. One study pinpointed the perfect age to offer birth to a primary child as 30.5.Your age is just one factor that should go into your decision to get pregnant. You also need to consider your emotional and financial readiness to start a family. That timing is unique for each woman.
