Young Women Say Yes to Motherhood

For four decades, women have been delaying childbirth to launch careers. Now, this trend may be ending, The Wall Street Journal reports. For the first time since government records have been kept, the average age at which women have their first babies posted a decline — according to newly released data from the National Center for Health Statistics. Mothers’ mean age at their first childbirth fell to 25.0 years in 2006, the most recent figures available, from 25.2 in 2005. Women ages 20 to 24 led the shift, with a 5% increase in the rate of first births.
