Recent data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates a historic shift in birth trends in the United States. For the first time, more babies are being born to women aged 40 and older than to teenagers. This trend reflects a broader societal change, with a noted 193% increase in births among women over 40 since 1990, while teenage births have decreased by 73% during the same period. Notably, the Bay Area has the highest proportion of births to women in this age group, highlighting regional variations in maternal age demographics. This phenomenon is also observed in Brazil, where late motherhood is becoming increasingly common.
