Do younger women usually give birth earlier than older women?


Rate This Answer

Birth No, it's just the opposite. Research shows that your chances of having a low-birthweight baby (less than 5 1/2 pounds) or a premature delivery increase with age. Some studies show that older women are more likely to need pitocin during labor, and most studies show a significantly higher rate of delivery by cesarean section. ChaCha!
