Science Says *This* Is the Perfect Age to Have Kids

    Deciding whether and when to have a kid can be the most agonizing leap of faith we ever make (if we’re lucky).
    Wouldn’t it be helpful if some objective, external entity just came along and said, “Here. This is the exact age you should have a baby”—your imminent promotion, student debt albatross and iffy relationship situation be damned.

    Well, according to The Wall Street Journal, there actually IS a perfect age to get procreating. And that age is…drumroll, please…32.

    Oh please! the ideal age for a woman to start having children is her early twenties. 22 is the right age, not 32!

    More feminist rubbish geared towards the average naïve career - oriented girl of today, who thinks she must postpone having a family until she establishes her egocentric goals. She wastes, therefore, her prime years attending unnecessary colleges, cesspools of sin and perversion; instead of using her youth, fertility, and beauty, to find honorable husbands.

    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

    • As counter-intuitive as it may sound in these days of delayed adulthood, research shows that the healthiest babies are born to 15 to 18 year old mothers.

    You are wrong.
    The best age to have children is when God deems it so.

    • The article in the OP misrepresents its WSJ source which said the best age to marry is before  age 32 (because that is when fertility starts declining significantly. ). That is quite different saying the 32 is the best age.

    They seem to be assuming pregnancy should be delayed until fertility starts to decline. But there was nothing about that in the article they quote. Their headline is misleading and dishonest since "science" does not say what they claim it does.

    Canterella is right about it being feminist rubbish. And I agree with Cera that age of best fertility is much younger than 32. I've always heard late teens/early twenties.

    You're not supposed to actually read the article. You're supposed to blindly believe the clickbait title from the garbage secondary source!!

    I noticed after I posted that I wrote "marry" rather than "have a baby" as I intended. (Although, if the world weren't so crazy, they would be almost the same.)

    • Even secular, modern doctors will tell you that the older you are, the more difficult the pregnancy will likely be, and the higher risk of poor health for the baby.  Most OBGYNs consider pregnancy after 35 years old as "advanced age."

    LOL
    I TEND to agree more/less
    the thought occurs to me, however, that this is the WORST time to bring children into the world, assuming we speak of the welfare of the child and not someone else's
    This is a very lawless t ime... and w/o law and order, we have NOTHING
    since most people go to Hell... well, why bring children in the world who will likely end up there... UNLESS you raise them CATHOLIC (true Catholic)?

    Perhaps true, but most babies with 15-18 year old mothers are born out of wedlock, into welfare, into poverty, likely to be raised by day care.

    Yes, the research was on the physical health of babies. Young eggs = healthy babies. Old eggs = more exposure to toxins.
    After the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we will not have the social problems we see today. It may very well be as it was in the time of Our Lord's birth. Mary is believed to have been about 15.

    • How old was Our Lady when she conceived and gave birth to Our Lord?  THAT was the perfect age.
