Survey reveals that "Financial Security, NOT Fertility, Is the Top Reason When Choosing an Ideal Age to Have a Baby"
TheBump.com (www.thebump.com), a multiplatform brand focused on first-time moms, and ForbesWoman.com, a website for career-minded women, revealed the results of a “Working Moms” survey.
They polled 2,000 women on their personal experiences and opinions when it comes to the much-debated topic of motherhood and career. This in-depth survey reveals everything from how motherhood has impacted their career to career satisfaction to when they had their first child and how they felt returning to work post-baby.
They polled 2,000 women on their personal experiences and opinions when it comes to the much-debated topic of motherhood and career. This in-depth survey reveals everything from how motherhood has impacted their career to career satisfaction to when they had their first child and how they felt returning to work post-baby.
“We find women on TheBump.com always asking each other the age-old question of whether there’s ever really a ‘perfect’ age to have a baby,” says Carley Roney, editor-in-chief of TheBump.com. “As women balance biology with modern goals like a fulfilling career, bustling social life and happy marriage, there’s no doubt that women are increasingly trying to find that sweet spot on when to become a mother and have it all.”
Highlights from TheBump.com and ForbesWoman.com “Working Moms” survey results include:
25 TO 29 IS THE SWEET SPOT WHEN IT COMES TO THE “IDEAL AGE”. 42% of women surveyed responded that 25 to 29 was the “ideal age” for a working woman to have or adopt her first child. Women aged 30 to 39 were most likely to think 30 to 34 was the ideal age for a working woman to have or adopt her first child.
FINANCIAL SECURITY, NOT FERTILITY, IS THE TOP REASON WHEN CHOOSING AN “IDEAL” AGE TO HAVE A BABY. Despite all the ongoing research surrounding fertility and age, interestingly enough, fertility is not the number one factor when it comes to deciding when to have a baby. The top two reasons were financial security (33%) and being emotionally “ready” to become parents (31%).
YOUNGER MOMS MORE CONTENT WITH TIMING OF THEIR FIRST CHILD. Respondents who had their first child from 25 to 29 were the most content with the timing of their first child (82%). More than a third (35%) of moms who had their first child from 30 to 34 wish they’d had their child at a younger age, and 57% of moms who had their first child from 35 to 39 wish they’d had their child at a younger age.
62% OF WOMEN FEEL MOTHERHOOD NEGATIVELY IMPACTS A WOMAN’S CAREER. Yet working moms who were surveyed didn’t feel as strongly when it came to their own career. Non-moms were more likely to think that motherhood had a negative impact on women’s careers compared to moms and moms-to-be (71%, 59% and 58%, respectively).
NEGATIVE FEELINGS DOMINATE WHEN RETURNING TO WORK POST-BABY. Working moms surveyed chose “guilty,” “overwhelmed,” “stressed,” “sad,” and “anxious” as the top five feelings when it came to how they felt when returning to work post-baby. Working moms who “chose” to return to work were less likely to feel as negative.
59% OF WORKING MOMS NO LONGER CARED AS MUCH ABOUT WORK POST-BABY. Although 59% of working moms are “glad to be back at work” post-baby, 59% also said they “no longer cared as much” about work.
“One of the most compelling findings in the survey is that women stated financial security and being emotionally ‘ready’ as top indicators of the ideal age to have a baby,” says Francesca Donner, editor of ForbesWoman.com. “It is apparent that the decision to have a baby is dependent on many variables, and will continue to evolve along with women’s roles in the workplace and in society at large.”

I hope to interview the folks behind this survey this week and provide a more in-depth article later this week. Stay tuned....
I went to an industry event this week at the FCC and learned about a fascinating tool for pregnant women via a presentation by an old friend, who just happens to be the Vice President for Regulatory Affairs for the wireless industry trade organization, CTIA.
Text4Baby, an educational p;rogram of the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition(HMHB) is a FREE mobile information service designed to promote maternal and child health.
Women who sign up for the service by texting BAB (or Bebe for Spanish) to 511411 will receive free SMS text messages each week, timed to their due date or the baby's date of birth.
It provides pregnant women and new moms with information they need to take care of their health and give their babies the best possible start in life
VERY COOL!!!! I am a big believer in it takes a village and with all of the neat apps available via i Phone that have obvious costs (iPhone, iPhone service, any download or monthly cost associated with the applications), sometimes people of modest means don't have the same access.
Kudos to the brains and companies behind this effort!

Thank you for the facts and figures. I think I have to agree with you that the number factor that affect a couples decision to start a family is their financial and emotional stability. Which, I think is good. Now we know that we have responsible parents here that does not want to compromise their future baby's future.
