In some countries, men and women are having babies late in life. What are the reasons? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, many people believe that it is more beneficial to delay their pregnancies,

while

others think that starting at an early age will be advantageous. Building a family at a young age brings a lot of responsibilities that often cause

psychological problems and

not to mention

financial difficulties. In my opinion, the advantages of having a baby later in life outweigh its disadvantages.

Firstly

, new graduates, newlyweds and starters in probationary are merely starting and proving their worth and

also

their skills, having a baby at

this

point in time would hinder their career growth.

For example

,if a trainee got herself pregnant,

this

will not only bring her distraction in the line of her work but

also

may cause a delay in her service.

Secondly

, as a young parent, it is not easy to raise a child especially if the knowledge and the physical capability are not yet met.

Furthermore

, young mothers are usually emotional and sensitive,

thus

psychological problems can be an issue later on.

Although

starting in later life brings its advantages, it

also

carries some disadvantages. Health conditions are the main issue when a woman has late pregnancy.

For instance

, a woman in her late 30s may have underlying health problems that may cause difficulty during her pregnancy,

likewise

, they are

also

prone to miscarriage and childbirth defects. In conclusion, though many people may think that having a baby at

such

a young age is beneficial, I am of the opinion that starting later in when you are physically, emotionally, and psychologically prepared and stable will bring out the most advantage.
