最新统计显示英国一半女性选择30岁后生子盘古倒下后他的牙齿变成了什么

新华网10月16日电 据英国《太阳报》报道，如今有将近一半的女性是在30岁以后当上母亲的。

英国国家统计局称，越来越多的职业女性推迟组建家庭，直到40岁才生下宝宝。

最新数据显示，去年，英格兰和威尔士地区49%的新生母亲都在30岁以上。

据统计，将近3万的女性生育年龄在40岁，是1980年统计数据的四倍以上。其中，还有将近2千的女性生育年龄在45岁以上。女性平均生育年龄是29.8岁，首次怀孕的女性平均年龄也在28.1岁。

英国皇家助产士学会首席执行官凯茜·沃里克昨日表示：“这显示了在生育方面人口结构的变化。”

她提醒年长女性生育更有可能使婴儿早产，并产生并发症。她说：“其他问题，例如日益增长的肥胖水平，也会导致生育变得更加复杂。此外，出生人数已达到历史高点。”

数据显示，年龄稍大的母亲更有可能维持一段稳定的关系，而且30岁以上的父亲也会更加成熟。

MUMS of 30 or over have nearly half of all babies, it was revealed yesterday.

More and more tots are also being born to career women who put off having a family until their forties, says the Office for National Statistics.

The new figures — for England and Wales — show 49 per cent of newborns last year had mothers who were no longer in their 20s.

Women in their forties had almost 30,000 babies — FOUR times more than in the 1980s. Of those, nearly 2,000 were aged 45 and over. The overall average age for mums is 29.8 and 28.1 for first-time mothers.

Royal College of Midwives chief executive Cathy Warwick said yesterday: “This shows the changing demographics of childbirth.”

She warned older women were more likely to have complications and premature babies. She said: “Other issues such as rising levels of obesity also lead to births becoming more complex. And numbers of births are at an all-time high.”

Because mothers are older they are more likely to be in a stable relationship, the figures reveal. And fathers are more mature — with two thirds aged 30 and over.
