Is there a right time to get pregnant?

This seemingly innocent question reflects the pressing concerns of parents, women and couples all over the world.

It is certainly true that the “right” time for a pregnancy differs from couple to couple and from woman to woman. Many women and couples believe that it is smarter to delay having children: in this way, both can realize their occupational aims and they can build up their financial security. But some couples see it the other way round: They want to start a family as soon as possible so that they themselves are still relatively young when their children grow up.

It is statistically proven that well educated women in general, and young female academics in particular are planning to have children later and later in life. Their desire to live their lives independently from others predominates.

A further study suggests that at least 50% of all couples get pregnant by accident or even inadvertently. Consequently many couples actually get pregnant randomly. One reason might be the fact that they could not find a satisfying answer to this question of what is the “right” time to get pregnant.

We interviewed some European women on the topic. Here are their answers:

„At the age of 22 when I was still a student I found out I was pregnant. Initially we were not only surprised but rather in shock. But then my boyfriend and I made the decision in favour of the baby and we have never regretted this early pregnancy. Of course it meant doing without many things, but with the help of family and friends you can do it. I and my boyfriend successfully finished our degrees and our son was always well looked after - mainly in kindergarten and with the help of the grannies.“ Anne W., 29 Years, from Kassel

„My husband and I have a desperate desire for a child. But I am already 41 years old and if I manage to get pregnant it definitely will be a risky pregnancy. By now I know that a career cannot give you everything in life. And if I could turn back time I would definitely get pregnant at an age of 35 or earlier.“ Barbara L., 41 Years, from Munich

„One year ago we decided that this was the right time for us to have a baby. And now I must confess that I cannot imagine a better time for it. I had already achieved everything I ever imagined in my career, me and my husband know what life is all about and we are sure we can offer the child everything he or she longs for.“ Rebecca Z., 36 Years, from Frankfurt

„I got pregnant when I was only 17. My boyfriend wanted to leave because of this unplanned pregnancy, but still I made the decision in favour of the baby. It was a really hard time for me, even though I got full support from my parents. Now I am able to manage the whole situation, but I would never advise a girl to choose such an early pregnancy.“ Laura, 21 Years, from Oldenburg
