Well, I do plan on becoming a mom at some point in my 20s, I was
thinking late 20s, after 25 after a year or 2 of marriage.

BUT ever since I read an article linking reduced breast cancer risk to
having kids before 25, so now I am starting to rethink my plans and
start the family a year early, like get married at 22, and have the 2
kids by 25, but that seems TOO early.

*sigh%

So what do you think parents?

I know I should ask my own, but they aren't exactly on the same page as
me when it comes to family.

My dad is anti-marriage, and my mom, well, just doesn't want to talk to
me.

So got any advice? I'd appreciate it!!!

You will marry when you find the right one, and have your
children when the two of you are ready. Hun don't let cancer scare you
into something before you are ready.
The statistics vary with everyone...

many things can reduce breast cancer risk.not a good reason to have kids
.single parenthood is no walk in the park.
It also sounds like you would have no support system.just a thought.

Well i meant i was going to marry first, hehe, i have two examples of
why single parenthood isnt easy.

My mom and dad.

oh.carry on..

hehehe.

UGG. I guess family-hood can wait.

My dad doesnt want me to get married, but he wants grandkids.LOL.

Kinda sweet in a weird way.....
I just dont want to be in my 30s when i have kids, at least by 25.

Just my personal preference. :)

Speaking of which how is your family devilsmom?

Good.My daughter is married with children.She is a CSM at Wal-mart.Her
husband is a lazy bum.
My son is six going on forty.I wasnt going to have kids after 30 either
but hey.
All in all i am very blessed.
I was married when I had both kids but not for long.
My mammogram was clear.coincidence?

hehehe, I spose i was being a hypocondriac (sp?)

glad to here the family is well!

Thanks autumn.i hope you and yours are well also.

family is good also, thanks.

Though my dad is still mourning the loss of his little girl (AKA me)lol.

I have had a spot removed and have one more that needs to be. It was
turning into cancer but had not fully evolved. I am not afraid of it and
neither should you be especially stats. I truly believe my time will
come when it comes nothing will make it come any sooner than it's life's
design.

oh and for the record it was turning into melanoma.

Thank goodness you are alright!!!

hmmmmmmmmm..


I think that study is centered around breast feeding and the reduction
in breast cancer.

dunno for sure though.

For every year/12 months of breast feeding the risk of breast cancer
drops by 25%. Imagine having 4 kids, eh? This info came from the mayo
clinic, and was applicable to any age.

There are many many more bennifets to breast feeding and of course there
are alot of pro's to having children earlier with regards to physical
health. Financally, mentally, and emotionally it could be more
advatages to have children later in life.

For the most part pregnancy/child birth is relatively low risk (not
speaking for myself ) until age 35.

breasts need to be fed?

Im Hungry!!!!!

quick come to my house and prevent breast cancer..

you guys are frisky

well I got 5 kids so does that mean I am safe for breast
cancer?
