How old do you have to be to have a baby?
Old enough to have one - as soon as your period start.
Although that does not mean that someone that age SHOULD have one. A baby is a huge responsibility and not all sunshine and rainbows like teenagers see on tv. The first year alone - a baby cose you 10,000 dollars and that is NOT included medical and hospital bills.
Actually, physically, you can get pregnant at 9, on average. Youngest recorded case in recent times, which was in Africa, was the girl pregnant at 8 and having the child at nine(though the child didn't survive its first month of life).
Old enough to be able to provide that baby every chance in life to grow up in a Healthy environment in every aspect of life and able to turn into a well-adjusted, successful adult - the priority is the baby.
I think you should wait untill after high school to have a baby because if you have a baby during high school then you would have to drop out to take care of the baby. that is my opion. I hope this helps
late 20s early 30s is perfixt. a job a husband a suport systom of family and friends is wounderfull. I don't have much family around me witch makes it hard raising two boys.
you can get pregnant as soon as you start getting your period, but I advise not to jump at it if you're younger than 18..
Afcourse, as soon as your period start.. But also whenever you feel ready and prepared to have a child.
Minimum thirteen maybe or just near the end of twelve depending on your periods.
you would have needed to have started your period usally around the age of 12
23 or 24 when you have money a house and a goood husband :)
