  Hey there..

  No I don't think 30 is too old..

  I had my first at 23, and my second at 33.. got preggers right away at 32.

  There shouldn't be any reason at 30 that you should think you're going to have trouble, if you try for a while with no success, go see your doc. If you're not ready at 28, and want to wait till your 30, then you should still be okay. I won't lie, the younger the better.. but, 30 is still relatively young too, so you'll be fine!

  Be sure to not get preggers till after you get your insurance though!

  good luck!

  When the time is right for YOU, you'll know it. Do it when you're ready, set, stable-relationship-money wise. Speaking from expirence, babies first year of life is the most expensive-Dr. visits, check-ups, shots, etc. 30 is NOT too old. I was 25 with my first, 26 with my second. After my son was born, I had my tubes tied, we only wanted 2, I had to fight 4 nurses, 3 doctors about my descision. They tried talking me out of it cause I was "so young". It's my body, not theirs, smartest thing I ever did. Make sure the time is right for BOTH of you, talk about your emotions, feelings, concerns throughly. I wish you the best of luck!

  LoriK, what a cruel thing to say, not to reproduce over her spelling! What goes around, comes around.

  Pregnancy is a preexisting condition. You'll have to be covered prior to conception. I had my first child at 32, second at 35 and last at 37. Ladies over 35 get offered an amniocentesis at 25 weeks gesation which identifies in utero anomalies and birth defects (not all, but some of the major ones like cadiac condition Tetrology of Follet, aencephaly and other brain abnormalities: bladder and spnal defects... a worthy diagnostic tool).

  CML beat me...I agree with her. 30 is not too old. Just make sure you and your husband are ready emotionally as well. Bringing a new baby into the marriage is a big change. Take sometime for yourselves while in the process...enjoy one another. I had my two at 20 and 25 years old. I do not regret it at all. You should do what is best for you and your husband. My advice make sure and have the insurance.
