Apparently we've been wrong all this time, it's men that want babies early, not women.

A new survey from vouchercloud.com revealed that whilst women think they should wait until 31 to have their first baby, men believe that, for females, 25 is the prime baby-making age.

They also believe that in an ideal world, they'd be having their first sprog at 29, which means that for British men, the biological clock starts ticking TWO YEARS before their female partner's.

The results are part of a wider social survey that asked nearly 2,000 childless men and women between 18-39 their thoughts on reproduction.

Whilst both sexes agreed that two was the ideal amount of children, men thought that 35 was the oldest they'd still feel comfortable fathering a child, whilst women believed 41 was the latest they'd leave motherhood.

So what can we take from these national averages? That statistically men want babies before women.
