for *me* I would not have a child before being married.
I really do not care what other women do-everybody is different.

There is no right or wrong age. And while being married implies a more stable home life (dual income, commitment to the relationship, etc.), it's not always the best choice. My parents got married because they had me and they NEVER should have been married. The only way I would have kids outside of marriage is if it were unplanned, but not everybody has the same opinions on marriage as I do. So to each her own on both parts, IMO.

I think being ready to have kids has more to do with maturity/security than a biological age. I think it's very important to have established stability before having kids, and many times (though not always) a situation in which the parents are married is more stable than one in which they are not.

There is no wrong or right age IMO...
As for being married, I personally wanted to wait until I was married to have kids (which I am), but that is just what worked for my life and what I wanted to do with it... Its not up to me to say what is best for another person...

I think that you cant pinpoint the age, everyone is different and matures differently. I think you should be able to provide for a child financially. As for marriage, i dont think its necessary since its not such a sure thing these days.

I wanted to be married before I had children. As far as the appropriate age to have them...sometimes the reasons to wait to have kids it isn't about maturity or financial stability. Sometimes it's easy: I simply have no desire to have children anytime in the near future. DH and I share this mind frame.

I don't think there is a right or a wrong. I was 19 when I got pregnant with Hayden.
As for being married, I wanted and was married before we had kids. It is just what I wanted and what worked best for us. It's not always the case with others, and that is their decision.

My personal opinion:
I believe there is not a right or wrong age - it all depends on the maturity level. I would not have a baby before I was married - but do not look down on people who do.
