Should I wait to get married to have a baby?

I know in the ideal world women should wait until they have a husband to get have a child. Well my world is so not ideal. I'm 26 and I have a stable job, I'm done with college and I would like a family. Unfortunately, I haven't meet a man who's compatible with me to marry. I don't want to wait any longer because I don't want to be one of those old mothers who is past 40 having my first baby. I've been considering going to a sperm bank. Is this a bad idea?

You still have plenty of time - what's the rush? Maybe if you are 35 and still happily single, you might want to consider other options. For now just focus on your youth and your career.Should I wait to get married to have a baby?
You should make sure you are financially and emotionally ready for this kind of commitment. It's a great idea if you're ready for it. This is not the 1950's and women are very self suffecient, as I guess you are. If I were you, I would do it. And when you meet the man of your dreams he will accept that child of his own, if he doesn't he's not for you. Nowadays, men don't run away from the notion of single mothers like they did in the past. All in all, it's your decision and your life. Just do what's best for you and make sure you're ready to bring a child into this world and give him/her the best you can...
You have a stable job...well then what will you do with the baby while you're working? And when you're off, are you willing to go get the baby from wherever he/she is and be prepared to put the baby first and foremost until you drag him/her to the sitters again the next morning? Is this the best you can do for a child?





Sometimes we want things in life because we have an idea of what it will be like and we focus on the good things. But the harsh reality is, babies are hard, hard work. Kiss your autonomy, your free time, your extra cash GOODBYE. Of course you don't HAVE to be in a happy, loving relationship to have a child. It just helps...A LOT. Wait until somewhere is there to help and support you - trust me, you will need it.
there's a big difference between 26 and 40. I think you're rushing things a wee bit. I understand the desire to have a baby, but each child deserves to have a loving mother and father involved in his/her life. I realize this doesn't always happen, but why not try to give your child the best home environment possible?
yes it is a bad idea. get a grip woman you are only 26. what if you went and got pregnant, and then you met the man of your dreams, only now he wants nothing to do with you because your a single mother. i dont think men look at that as a quality. if i were you i would be looking for a husband b4 looking to have a child.
You are 26. You have lots of time.





Being a single mother is a nightmare at times.....none of the singles I know would have chosen it and would all gladly change it.





It's hard enough with two parents, let alone one. Yes, wait. Be patient. Impatience is not a motherly tendency.
yep, you are young and the economy sucks. if you still feel this way by age....37...then do it.
yes. its saying you arent good enough to have kids with
I don't see anything wrong with it if you are ready for it.





I am completely against you having a child if it means milking the ';sperm donor'; for child support.





If you want to be a mom, you go girl.. But make sure you're financially set to do it on your own..
