If you really want a kid then do it now.

You can speak and work when you're older, but having kids gets riskier with every year.

It is a lot of work and will probably be the biggest challenge of your life, and it will impact your career heavily, since you'll be out for at least a year. But it's also the best thing there is and ultimately the reason we're all here.

I'd say after the first year it gets easier to leave it with the dad, babysitter, kindergarden, grandparents for longer, so you can take up talking and working again.
