How old is to old to have a child?

your not too old to have a child, but when you do get pregnant you will have to be monitored more than say a 25yr old. If your planning to get pregnant tell your doc and ask about the risks, if any.\nGood luck

Depends on the person.I would think 15 or 16 is old enough. Hopefully by that age, one would make responsible choices.

Its hard to say.. Every one matures at different ages and depending in our relationship with our parents, family, friends and teachers and our experiences in this world we become who we are...  With that being said, there is no way in this world that an 11 YEAR OLD GIRL has experienced enough in her short life to know whats right and wrong and to know if she wants to have a child or let alone know how to take care of a child!!!  SHE IS A CHILD HERSELF!!! I am 28 years old and as sad as it sounds, I STILL DONT KNOW IF I WANT TO HAVE A CHILD!!! and I am in a good financial situation, graduated college, have been able to travel and meet different places and people and I'm old enough and lived long enough to know the tremendous amount of  responsibility that comes with a child--- This 11 year girl is a baby!!!  So yes, you are absolutely right- She is not ready to have a child.   Anyone ever heard of child abuse?

The grandchild when it becomes of age. Unless specified by an attorney somewhere that a Parent may. Ask an attorney just call and ask should be free advice!

You may be mature, but you are still at an age where you could get babysat yourself. Wait a few years, like 2, just so you can be more responsible with little kids.

3 1/2 to 4 years old. As early as you can. The earlier the better.

No.  Some children have been born at 4 months and have lived.  Why not wait the pregnancy out and then put the child up for adoption.

30 - Old enough to know what you want out of life.  Pretty set in your career.  And young enough to start a family.\n\nIf you don't want to have kids...stay single!

I'm a complementary therapist and would certainly reccommend that the earlier, (within reason), you can have your children the better. Preferably in your twenties. I know some people disagree, but that's my opinion.\nJon C

Oh you were definately right! You are way too young to get pregnant! I would wait until you are at least 18 or until you feel ready to have children (after you turn 18) My mom had me when she was 16 and I'm sure that there are a lot of things that should would have wanted to do it her life would have been different. I had my son at 23 and still wasn't ready!

WOW! I can related to just about all of that, except that I had my first child in 1996. I'd say you are 33.

Haven't had one yet.\n\nI think fourteen is the youngest appropriate age, unless the kids are really mature.

If you're over 35 you'll be put in the high risk group. That basically means that you'll be screaned more often and you'll have to do tests on your baby that would not be necessary if you were younger. Talk to your ob/gyn about possible risks before you attempt to get pregnant. This way you'd know what to expect and would be able to make a better informed decision.

None I want to wait a while before I have any.Congradulations on your child any way,how old they!?But I want either 2 identical twin boys or just 1 boy or 1 girl thats it!

Oh how I can relate!  My husband is 32 and I am 23.  We have been together since I was 16 years old.  We are now married with 3 beautiful children and after almost 8 years are great.  I think it depends on the maturity of both couples.  I think people have a predestined idea that age is so important.  I am sorry but I have seen people who are 25 not be able to handle having a baby while an 19 year old can, my point, maturity.  If you are able to willingly work on your relationship then there is no reason why you cannot make it last.  You also need to believe in yourself and make sure you know what you want.  It is your decision and your's alone and no one can tell you what is best for you but you.
