I agree with 38 being a decent age to have a child. We're no longer in the 1970s or 80s. Now we have better equipment, facilities and medical training to detect and take care of issues before they arise.
It's not uncommon to see older parents in towns where the couples are very career oriented.
Now, energy wise is a totally different matter. For that the younger you have your kids the better, but energy and stupidity go hand in hand, well, it did in my case. Having my first born at 20 was a walk in the park but I was not smart about it and I struggled to get education completed and step up in the business world. There is still a strong stigma that mothers cannot be effective professionals in areas that are dominated by men. Gaining a bit of age and experience in the field helps there before having kids.
