Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
I am not talking about age of consent or financial concerns... those 2 concerns are swept aside anyways by any young girl desperate to have a baby she can call her own. I have seen this way too many times to be told otherwise! And some countries have ridiculously low age of consent anyway, especially middle eastern countries where men can marry extremely young girls and impregnate them and even have multiple wives.
This question is about her body's physical ability to have one, but even more important... her mental ability!
Like how young is her body able to have a baby physically and how young can she mentally handle the choices and responsibilities that come with having the baby.
Please share your views on this EXTREMELY IMPORTANT question! ... PLEASE!

When she has a job and able to support herself AND a kid, that’s when. Cause when you’re very young it’s like your parents are the real parents of your child if they will be the ones supporting you AND your kid. It’s awful.
Just because you CAN doesn’t mean you should.
Even if you’re old! If you c any afford to support another human or yourself to begin with, don’t be bringing more humans into this world and expect someone else other than yourself to provide for you both.
Just ridiculous.
And purely physical... well it depends on the individual. Not alllll women are the same.. some can be very weak while others can take on anything. It has been proven many times as soon as you get your period you CAN physically procreate. However if you’re not healthy, well, then at ANY age, you will not be likely to succeed in the pregnancy age is not a factor much it all comes down to healthy. COMMON sense.
I'd say in her early 30's?
Umsure after menstrual cycle starts a girl can get pregnant (ages 9-14) but her body is not physically capable of handlingthe pregnancy and or the Labor. I had a cousin that got pregnant after being raped at the age of 12 she died during Labor, so many things went wrong her Uterus Ruptured, hemorrhaging, Heart couldn't pump enough blood, organs shut down. Doctors wanted to Abort but her parents are Devout Roman Catholics. I won't talk to them still today.
Anyhow the body is still developing as is the brain, then brain continues to develope until age 25.
But I'll say definitely not under 16.
Can I ask why you haven't put anonymous answers as an option? I had a point of view I wanted to post, but it's super personal and would rather it not get linked back to me?
I think the physical stuff doesn't matter because most girls are not psychologically ready for motherhood before the age of 18.
Just adding opinion so hopefully this will vanish from my feed, its doing my head in
Physically it's been shown that a girl CAN have children from puberty onwards and recover from it effectively. This is why girls were considered adults by age 12 during the 13th century and why boys were considered adults by 14 around that same time. (At the very least these were the ages that both were allowed to get married and in many ways that was because they were considered adults). Quite frankly, at younger ages, the physical recovery would be much more difficult for most girls than would be the mental recovery. The mind is far more capable of recovery early in life than later. This is why some children who have had lobotomies have been known to recover from drastic brain surgery that cause permanent damage to older patients.
No one under the age of 18 is mentally or physically mature enough to have a baby ! Thanks
My little sis is 16 and she has two babies she now wishes she had kept her legs closes.
To me it doesn't matter as long as they both are ready
She had her first one at 14?
Yes maam she Did
And then another one... wow! Now's the time to get her into some BDSM and tie her legs together with some strong rope! ... lol
She was super slutty noe she wants to go to school
That's good now that she has some ambition :)
Younger teens are shown to have more difficult births more often statistically, so just physically, older teens would be the earliest. Mentally/emotionally, early 20s would be even more ideal.
Physcially, girls can get pregnant once they get their period. Normally between the age of
11/12 - 16... any of those age even by 21 still may not be ideal to have a child even though they CAN.
The combination of being physically ready, financially ready and having a loving partner who are both established in their eduation/career/fiancially.. would be around 24-28... that would be 2 or 3 kids by 30... Even with these 2 people ready... having support from family would be ideal. It takes a village dear...
Mentally ready is a diff. opinion... many would say at any age they are mentally ready... you really don't know till you have that baby in your hands and having to wake up every 2 hours to feed and keep a house, a job... etc... Mentally... all that change from the time of becoming pregnant and the first few months of motherhood. So its hard to measure.
This is just coming from the Western, ideal situation thinking.
When we bring in coulutres such as the young girls are able to be married off to older guys (16 or 17 years. old girl to over 30 years old man)... I am not touching that subject.
Probably at 16.
Some girls are hitting puberty at 2 years of age due to increasing estrogens in our environment and high fats in our diets.
The hunter gatherer women did not have their first period from ages 18 to 19.
Therefore a woman should get pregnant around 20. I think the best age is actually 25 since the human brain is fully developed then.
That 14 year old would get the business... gigity gigity.

No one is mentally prepared for a child. Sure, their body can handle it once it's somewhat developed, but they're not actually ready for one no matter how much they want one. It'll affect their career and education. Lowest age to have a child I'd say would be 18. (Btw I know most of the teen moms you used as references)
How do you know them?
Teen mom YouTube channels. I only watch CamAndFam but still know the other ones. I was just curious as to how life was as a teen mom and I got into watching those videos
Ok, I just found them by googling. I never saw them before but they look quite young.
Early 20s. Some men say "historical women often started having kids in their teens" but that was because their lifespans were a lot shorter, so they didn't have much of a choice but start bearing children earlier.
Good answer
Thank you and good morning to you
To be stable enough to care for the baby financially & have a better mentality i'd say 24 😅 you'd most likely be out of uni/college already & hopefully have a decent job in whatever field you decided to take 😊 & although you may not have EVERYTHING figured out you would have learned many lessons throughout the way since your friends/people you may know may already have kids & you won't have the stress of the workload from school AND work nagging at you!
Nobody should be a parent before at least 21. I think older but 21 is the minimum in my view.
Yeah but I’ve never wanted kids so meh. However I have heard that girls actually get health problems and even die from having kids too young so that’s sad. Also it’s awkward for the kid and they might not get the proper care.
It is hard to put a number on these - You could have a girl physically able at 11 and a girl not mature enough at 21 - The physical ability is a non argument for me it is just wrong even the physical ability does not take into account the certainity of a safe, healthy pregancy so it is emotional maturity for me and if your opening argument is that it works on MTV's Teen Mom, the answer is a big NO from me.
There will be some exceptions teens settled down (maybe married), stable environment a child would be a good addition BUT my instinct is IF I had a daughter asked when is a good time to have a baby, I would say wait till at least 21 make sure you are in a stable, domestic and social environment to make sure you are bringing a child into a good and loving place.
