Help! Justine's going on Channel5 News to talk about the mahoosive rise in the number of women giving birth in their 40s. Your thoughts on the reasons behind this increase would be most appreciated

Hi there,

Some of you may have read about today's ONS survey results, which reveal - amongst other things - that the number of mums giving birth in their 40s has trebled over the last twenty years:

www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/sharp-rise-in-women-over-40-having-babies-7932667.html

We've been asked what you folks think about this - what the reasons behind this rise might be -and would love to hear your thoughts so that we can reflect your views as accurately as possible.

Thanks in advance,

Jane

Hi Hecate: any thoughts about what's behind this rise in the over-40s birth rate would be most appreciated.

Sorry if that wasn't very clear We've amended the thread title now, so it's hopefully a bit more obvious what we're after.

Hello everyone,

Disappointingly, the Channel 5 interview is no longer happening, but we are getting asked about this topic an awful lot today, so your brilliant posts have not been written in vain.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Jane
