The right time to have babies - My opinion

Ofcourse this topic is only for the ones who wish to have babies in the first place. 


Let me start off saying - having a child is boon. 

You are lucky if you have your kid when you wished for it. It more happens when you least expect it. 

You are gifted to have one if you had it before you expected it. 

To raise a baby is a gift from heaven. Love it and cherish every moment. 


Setting this aside. I would like to comment on My idea of the right time to have a baby and the controversy of what some friends think. 


My idea is to establish a career, know where you wanna get back to after a maternity break. So that included taking a specific work related training and traveling among a couple of healthcare companies as a validation engineer. Learning that I would love to stick to the same. But I work as a contractor. I would love to find a spot in a permanent full time job. And have a maternity break. But probably this is good too. I can stay longer with my baby whose growing up fast and needs me the most. And then look for that dream job which I have already learnt I like it. 


Others think it's better to have a kid first and then start from scratch on the job profile. But there the disadvantage would be the initial steps - of training if be and finding that right job. You would be juggling with this new baby (learning about her) and then the job in hand. 


Likewise having that baby right after your marriage to a stranger is another juggling moment. When you did be juggling between learning each other in the new relationship vs holding this huge responsibility in your hands with less intimacy. 


An initial two years is what most young couples wish for. To get to know each other. Plus on the job front- establish it before wedding or after- and if after a little time in for it. 


These are some things to consider on the emotional front. Ofcourse there's financials that you should be comfortable and ready for. And both parents-to-be to be ready to accept this huge responsibility with a lot of excitement. 


The older couples probably don't stand this chance of choice. But their career would be at a high level. And much more mature. 


Not sure if I could classify couples into older or younger. It's more into the character of each. Age would just matter for the biological clock ticking. 


It's purely my opinion.
