Women in their 30s are having more babies than women in their 20s

Women in their 30's are having more babies than women in their 20's.

Studies by the CDC show the new average age for women having children is now 28.

In the year 2000, it was 24 and in 1970 it was 21.

Times have changed!

Women are waiting longer to have children and the teen pregnancy rate is declining.

More educational and job opportunities are available to women now, which may contribute to why women are waiting to have children later in life.

Women who are in their 30's need not stress if they haven't had a baby yet. Turns out you're right on trend!
