Pregnancy Statistics

For the first time, the teenage pregnancy rate is going down, but there is an increase in pregancies in women ages 34 to 44. Because of the increasing age of people getting pregnant, there are more complications in birth. Also, because of this, there is a dramatic increase in cesarean births, up to 25% now. Some other interesting facts are: in the U.S., there are two girls at age 15 who have already given birth to four children, Hispanic women have the highest birth rate, and there is an increase in the number of unwed mothers giving birth.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,139410,00.html
