"How do you decide to start a family?"

Hi! I currently celebrated my second wedding anniversary and 25th birthday, both events made me think about when to start a family. I am also a MSc student at the University of Exeter which lead me to look into research about how people decide if the time is right for hem to have a baby. Surprisingly there isn’t a lot of research out there. Most seem to suggest that society is placing more pressure on young couples to wait until their mid- to late thirties to start a family and then limit it to a small number (under two).
So I decide to test a theory about what type of advice s given to young women in my position and how we interpret it. It is an online survey that should at max take you 2 minutes to complete. I would be most grateful for any help I can get, so please fill it out. If at anytime you wish to sop just close the browser window. The following is the link to take you to the survey site:

I hope that it helps. Having children is such a rewarding part of life! Society puts too much of an emphasis on women being as good as men in the work force! Women should be proud to be a good mom! I have a college degree.....but I choose to parent my children!
For me, having a baby was something I had wanted since childhood. All I wanted was to be a mom. I went after a career, and realized it wasn't where my happiness was!! We were celebrating our first anniversary when I found out I was pregnant!! No regrets and 4 children later, we would gladly welcome another blessing into our home!
Hope that helps!
Thanks!
