My Mom was 41 years old when I was born at tail end of “baby boom”L
While fertility rates dropped from 1990 to 2019 overall, the decline was regarded as rather stable compared to previous eras. But the age at which women had babies shifted. Fertility rates declined by almost 43 percent for women between ages 20 and 24 and by more than 22 percent for women between 25 and 29. At the same time, they increased by more than 67 percent for women between 35 and 39, and by more than 132 percent for women between 40 and 44, according to the Census Bureau analysis based on National Center for Health Statistics data.
