Women Having Babies Later Then Ever
Even though there is a show called 'Teen Moms' , according to a new study, women in the United States are waiting longer than ever to have babies. With the average age for first childbirth rising to a record high of 26.3 years – up from 24.9 years in 2000.
The number is rising because fewer teenagers are giving birth and adults are postponing marriage and parenthood. (Inquisitr)
"Slightly fewer than 4 million babies are born in the United States each year, and the details of how, when, and where they arrive are always shifting." Says Babycenter.com
