When should you plan to have a baby?

Not just mothers but also fathers are scared of taking responsibilities of becoming parents. Couples usually from cities  postpone parenthood till many years even after they are into marriage. This is because they feel that they need to be prepared in every possible way, emotionally, psychologically, financially and materially, before adding a member to their family. But is it correct to wait many years? Or is it correct to plan baby immediately?


Having a baby is like holding sparkling cracker (sparkle) in your hand. Spark will fall off on your hand but you will still want to hold it. It's beautiful to have a baby but along with it comes lot of responsibilities. It is not just about tiny colorful clothes and cute babbling.
When should you plan for baby?

You will mostly notice difference of opinion here. Your family and relatives will ask you to hurry and your friends will ask you to take time. Never be in too hurry nor be too late. Various things are to be taken into consideration like age, weight, ovulation cycle, good health, good environment in your surrounding and also money.  
o Age   
A. If you are too young 

1. Medical reason - You might deliver premature baby or low birth weight. 
2. Non medical reason – You might be too young to take responsibility of baby.

B. If you are too old 
1. Medical reason – pre mature delivery, miscarriage, still birth etc.
2. Non medical reason – age gap between child and parents 
o Weight 
1. Under weight – being underweight reduces the fertility can also cause hormonal imbalance. Thus it might take time to conceive. 
2. Over weight- Over weight can cause high blood pressure and other related issues. 
o Ovulation – Ovulation depends on your menstrual cycle. Your menstrual cycle might be longer or shorter. It decides your fertility days. Fertility days are days when you can get pregnant.
o Good health -  You can conceive very easily and quickly if you eat healthy and stay fit. Eating balanced diet consisting all types of nutrients is beneficial for easy and quick conception. 
o Good environment  - A mother has to be healthy as well as happy to conceive. Stress, depression or any other related issues can cause miss carriage, pre mature delivery or other complications.


Why do elders suggest you to plan baby early?

Initial days are very happy and good going after marriage. You will be trying to get along with each other as well as other family members. Thus the environment around you will be happy. Which can help you conceive quickly and you can have healthy baby. In contrast, more days will be passed, more responsibilities you will have at home as well as outside. You will also start noticing everybody's flaws eeven may be your husbands. Which might lower your interest in such things. 


Why do friends tell you to plan your baby little late?

Let it be love marriage or arrange marriage there is always a tension in the air till you get married and start adjusting in your new house as daughter in law. As days are passed you slowly start to understand everyone and everything, which can help you to decide to move ahead and take important decision of life. If in case you want to call off marriage due to any reason it won't be very difficult. But if you are already pregnant or have child then it puts you in dilemma or having child might discourage you from getting separated.

When should you actually plan your baby?

Regardless of your age, love marriage, arrange marriage, plan to have baby immediately after one year of marriage. It might take few more months to conceive. By the time you will deliver baby it will be 2 or more years. Thus waiting too long will not help you but put you in further problem. 
Though many facilities are available nowadays why to invest time and money on it. 

Motherhood is beautiful don't make it feel more like burden but a beautiful journey of a women's life
