[quote=Anonymous]Do you ever regret it/wished you had waited?

I'm 26, my husband is 30. We've got all our ducks in a row (married 2 years, both employed at good stable jobs, both have grad degrees, we just bought our first house, we have decent savings and no debt besides the mortgage, etc.). We've been talking about having a baby soon. Originally we planned to wait because we wanted to travel more internationally and take a few big bucket list type trips but they are on hold now with Covid. So my husband thinks we are at a good place in our lives now to start ttc. Fwiw, we've been together since college so even though we are newly married, we've been together a while.

I do want to have kids but the thing is, I feel weird about it because 27 is considered sooo young to have a baby nowadays. When I mention it to friends, they all look at me like I am insane. Most of my friends are still single so they're no help and the few who are partnered don't want to have kids until their early to mid thirties at least because of grad school/job stuff.

Just curious if anyone on here had their first baby young and if you regret it/wish you had waited and why. Or, alternatively, if you did wait until your mid thirties and wish you had started earlier and why.

Basically, do you have any advice for someone in my position.[/quote]
