Dear Agony Aunts and Uncles

I have my life sorted out and by that I mean I know exactly what I want from life and my future career.

The only problem is children. I already have the perfet guy who i've been with for 14 months and a bit so thats not a problem, but if I want to become a psychiartrist then what is the best age to have children?

I've added up the years. I finish college at 18 spend 3 years in uni and 2 years in Medicine school so at the end i'd be about 23 and hopefully married by then. Should i Have my baby then?

Any advice will be fantastic and and much appreciated

Thanks xXxXx

Im looking at becoming a psychiatrist also. You dont do 3 years at uni and 2 years at medical school. If your in the UK you do 5 years medical degree. 2 years foundation and 6 years at uni.

Yes you should definitly wait to have children after youve finished your studying and you have a steady job.

Thanks for the help, and yeah he wants the same things, we're really in love and he's 18 and im 16. We're not rushing at all just wondering really because i dont want to be an old mum. My boyfriend and i have even planned marriage before so i know he wants and sees a future with me =]

Well, I would say that 16 is too early to be making these sorts of decisions. Have you spoken to the guy concerned ? Does he want children ? With you ? Is he the same age as you ? You normally know when the time is right, you can say I will aim to have children around that time, but you might want to start using your skills, for instance you dont just qualify and thats it, you may want to keep your hand in for a couple of years and then have a baby. The guy you are with may want different things to you, so you will have to make sure this is also what he wants.
