More women over 40 having babies than women under 20

Interesting item on the news last night about birthrates and age groups. I was making dinner and watching the news, when an item on birth rates came on.

They talked about the number of women over 40 who were having babies, and said that statistically there are MORE women over 40 having babies than women UNDER 20. Apparently this is a FIRST for this trend!!!

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
