Excerpt:

In 2016, for the first time ever, there were more women in their early 30s having babies than younger moms, according to data from the government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released last year.

There were 103 births per every 100,000 American women between 30 and 34 years old in 2016. Among women ages 25 to 29, there were 102 births. The average age when women have their first child is now 28, up from 24.6 in 1970.
