For the first time in the US, more babies are now born to moms 40–44 than 15–19.
This marks 2 historical shifts for the US, plummeting teen pregnancy and gradually rising fertility for older women.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Not good.
The good news is that more women are now having babies, and most of these pregnancies are likely to be for ‘Wanted Babies’. BabyJoy!!
The bad news is that mothers in their 40’s are statistically more likely to have children with physical and/or mental disabilities. Not all, of course, but a larger percentage than with younger mothers. Each family must consider all likely outcomes and process ready and hopefully willing.
But Elon can't do it by himself, gentlemen. You'd best get to work if you don't want it said a South African transplant is doing the work you're too lazy to do.
It’s a significant difference: about 1 in 1500 for mothers aged 19-20, increasing to 1 in 35 for age 42 and above.
Gonna need 10 times current NICU capacity.
Whether we like it or not, the natural time for girls to have their first two babies is in their teenage years. We put off children in a very unnatural way. I don’t know how it will turn out. Usually the DNA is of lower quality the older the parents are. But who knows there may be an upside somewhere.
Sad. Meanwhile millions of non-Western immigrants have flooded the country creating “diversity”.
Extremely good news! We do not need 16 year olds running around pregnant. Heck we really don’t need 19 year olds either.
Meds continue in helping change the world....
15-19 is better and we all know it. Now it’s up to the churches to lend a helping hand and the rest of us can pay the $2k for their prenatal care. Remember this: It takes a village.
As for the 40-44 year olds-JD’s cat ladies quip musta made them horny and sloppy with their diaphragms.
It takes a worried (wo)man to sing a worried song.

I believe some of the autism rise is due to this, and older fathers.
That has been my theory all along. People are waiting longer to have children and getting married, therefore older sperm and older eggs. Vaccinations could have a strong role as well. In fact, the vaccination with the older sperm and the older eggs may be pushing those reproductive systems over the top since they are so old.
BS. Take a look a real records across history.
The splurge of post war teen births was a result of rising wealth, welfare and changing mores.
But it’s actually not the historical standard.
It may be anecdotal but here's just one example. Trump was 59 years old when he had Barron. It's obvious that Barron is on the spectrum. If you notice Barron's siblings, they are "normal" and that's because Trump was much younger when he had them.
hey Valpal-I’m an optimist.
I can’t imagine going through having a teenager as a parent at aged 55-60. Menopause and a teen both at the same time—no thanks!
