I think you girls are right to wait on children. However, I am 33 and just had my first baby. I sometimes wish I would have started earlier. Now I am in a big hurry to have my children before I get too old. My body isn't snapping back very quickly and it is still hard to work motherhood into the picture. I don't think being a parent is ever easy and there is never a perfect moment to do it. I have a good husband, a lot of education and I did travel the world (24 countries) when in my twenties. Having my daughter has been the most amazing experience of my life. Don't wait too long. You won't understand it until you experience it for yourself.
