Getting Pregnant In Your 20s: Good Or Bad?
Most working women of today might totally freak out at the idea of getting pregnant in their 20s. Twenties are a time when you are still thinking whether marriage is a good idea for you or you should try to find foothold in your professional life. However, there is no denying that there are many advantages of getting pregnant young. The pros of getting pregnant in 20s far outweigh the cons. The only thing stopping you is you yourself.
Getting pregnant in your 20s is the best from the point of view of your biological clock. Most experts agree that a woman is most fertile in her 20s. In fact, one of advantages of getting pregnant young is you can avoid many complications. Besides, when you are younger, the strain of the pregnancy itself is easy for you to take. Your recovery after child birth is also much faster.
Even when it comes to handling a baby, your age gives you many advantages over older mothers. A new mother in her 20s is in a much better position to deal with the strains of the newborn baby. To put in short, you are physically in your best shape of getting pregnant in your 20s. However, the problems of an early age pregnancy are financial and emotional.
Here are some pros and cons of getting pregnant in your 20s that can help you decide how to plan your family.
Pros: Fertility
From the point of view of fertility, getting pregnant in your early 20s is the best. A woman's fertility peaks at about 24 years of age. Most doctors advise you to have your first child before you turn 30.
Reduced Complications
If you get pregnant young, your pregnancy does not have age-related complications like diabetes or high blood pressure. You can have a relatively problem-free delivery.
Chances Of Normal Delivery
Technically, your chances of having a normal delivery should not be affected by age. However, complications like fibroids sometimes make it necessary to have a c-section if you are a 30-something mom. Your odds are definitely better if you are in your 20s.
Reduced Risk Of Birth Defects
Your will breeze through anomaly scans and triple marker tests when you are pregnant in your 20s. The probability of having an abnormal foetus is greatly reduced when you are pregnant in your 20s.
Recovery After Child Birth
Your recovery after child birth is much easier and quicker when you get pregnant in your 20s. You can easily lose those extra pounds and get back on your feet when you are young. The older you are, the longer will be your recovery period.
Handling Baby Stress
Handling a newborn baby is physically and mentally stressful. When you are a mother in your 20s, you will be physically strong to deal with the sleepless nights and strain of breastfeeding.
Cons: Getting Married In Early
You can plan a baby in your 20s only when you find the right guy within that age to make the baby with. This means you have to get married very early and that is matter of chance on which you have no control.
Financial Stability
Having a baby is matter of financial responsibility that cannot be taken lightly. You and your partner together should be able to bear the expenses of your pregnancy and the child. That might be a tough fight as both you and your partner are in your 20s.
Emotional Maturity
It is not enough to be physically fertile; parenthood is also about being emotionally mature. Very few women these days have the emotional maturity to have a baby in their 20s.
Career Break
When you get pregnant, your career is bound to get compromised in some ways. And 20s are the time to build your career. So you might not want a pregnant pause in your career so early on.
