NCHS Data Brief, No. 152 - First Births to Older Women Continue to Rise
The average age of women at first birth has risen over the past 4 decades. This increase is in part a reflection of the shift in first births to women 35 years and older. Delayed childbearing affects the size, composition, and future growth of the population in the United States. Increased health risks to older mothers, especially those 40 years and older, and their infants are well documented, first time older mothers are generally better educated and more likely to have more resources including higher incomes than those at the youngest reproductive ages. This report explores trends in first births to women aged 35–39 and 40–44 years from 1970 to 2012, and by race and Hispanic origin from 1990 to 2012 (the most recent year for which comparable data are available). Trends in first births for older women by state are examined for the recent period, 2000 to 2012.
