When Is The Best Time To Have A Baby?

That’s easy to answer, when your ducks are all in a row! This would, of course, be the perfect time to have a baby. Most people never have a baby at the perfect time because things don’t usually happen that way.

But, if you are actually strategically planning to have a baby then having your ducks in a row would include: having good health insurance, a savings account with six months of salary in it, and you would need to be healthy enough to carry the baby for nine months and a supportive spouse, too. It’s a great perk if you are planning on purchasing a home or condo to already have done this ahead of the babies arrival. Traveling without children is also a wonderful way to go so be sure to get some of those types of places off of your list and enjoy your quiet time before the baby is here keeping you up all night.

By doing the above ahead of time, your stress will automatically be lower. Having good health insurance is very important for both you and your newborn. Enjoying the security of knowing you have money in the bank will ease pressure as well. As far as traveling, ask any senior citizen where they would have loved to have visited prior to the birth of their first child and chances are a few locations will come to mind for them. There are just some places that traveling with newborns and small children can become complicated and lots of extra work for you and your spouse. So, if you can get those out of the way ahead of time, you will really get to enjoy them at a great time in your life. There are tons of places you will no doubt be traveling to with your children in the future and they will most probably be just a little different than where a couple might want to go.

Having a complete physical including blood work is a great idea before you even try to become pregnant. It puts you on a good path to move forward into pregnancy by making sure all is well in the beginning. No surprises is always a good way to go. If you happen to be a few pounds overweight, it is also a good time to try to lose that since you will be gaining weight for nine months. Or you can simply start taking walks a few days a week which will also be healthy for you and relieve stress, too.

To put your mind at ease, very few people have a child at the absolute perfect time. Mostly because life doesn’t usually work that way for anyone. It takes some women longer to get pregnant than others, only adding to the planning mix. Turns out that the best time to have a baby will be when you are fortunate and lucky enough to become pregnant.
