Like Burning Down said, the older you have the children the more likely the child may have disabilities. I'm very career focused am not sure I want to give it up to look after a child. At least by the time I'm 40 I hope to be well off.
If I was to answer for sure I would certainly be up for having 1-2 children.

Well with genetic conditions like that you can get yourself tested and most of the time they end up skipping a generation. So it may be dormant in your children and they will end up just being carriers. When you get tested you will know what percentage will get passed on. Also, if you wanted to have children later on, you could freeze your eggs til you are ready.
