Hello everyone! I am new to this site,and it seems to be very informative.
I have heard that both the parteners should be below 30 before having their fist child. We are recently married (6 months)I am 28 my hubby 29, we don't want to have our first child before 2007. by that i may exceed 30. I want to know whether it is safe for both me and the child if we delay to plan our first baby for 1-2 years.
Pls reply. Jensy replied. Dear RK,
I agree with geetha. go in for your first child before 30. i myself was married in apr 05 and am already 5 mnths pregnant. I am 28 now. my husband is 29. we went in for our first child now, bcoz i am working and my doc suggested (any doc for that matter suggests) first child beofre 30. women have a limited number of eggs in the ovary, which get over with a particular age i.e. menopause (which is after 45 years.) after 30 yrs. generally women have problems conceiving, holding the baby in the womb etc. u can enjoy for may be 7-8 months then plan a baby. don't make it post 30 especially if ur working as work has a lot of stress and all this will affect ur baby. please please never use pills, they have their own side effects, believe me. my friends (not one but 4 of them) who got marreid at the right age (23/24 yrs) took pills as they wnted to delay their first child, are now still under diffrnt types for treatments to concieve. I married 4-5 yrs after them. even use of condoms regularly is not suggested. after ur first child go in for any thing doesn't matter, but not beofre that. ur gynac may tell u that pills r safe, but i say it is a big NO NO. geetha replied. hi RK,
I think this is the right age to have a first child, but you are telling that you want to enjoy for sometime. you enjoy for 6 months then plan to have a baby. don't use any pills for postponing only use condems. eat good food and do some regular exercise. all the best. sonu replied. hi,

dont worry dear everybody says its right but as u r newly married n thinking about ur career n good future before ur first baby its good.but dear u should keep ur health perfectly alright like young girls keep.be more active,positive,exercise regular,eat good food n stay young.

so dont worry everything will be alright n when u plan dont delay much.

another thing dont use any other contraceptive like pills n IUD before 1st baby.only use condoms.

take care
sonu
