There are multiple, nuanced reasons the median age of moms has jumped from 27 to 30.
Milton also notes that this shift to an older median age of when to start having children could be indicative of evolving social dynamics. “Even the decision to do things like get married, we’re thinking about how to even exist in relationships differently. And negotiate those relationships better.”
We are still very much in the midst of a pandemic, which is considerably more dangerous for pregnant people. These pandemic dangers and health risks have been compounded for, more and more people in states without medicaid or other forms of accessible health and child care take the lack of social safety nets into consideration when putting off having a child until later.
“We just had to fight for a postpartum extension on how long the mother could stay on Medicaid after delivering a baby, because it wasn’t very long,” Milton says of her home state of Alabama. “Now it’s six months, when [before] it was like a couple of months. It was like, “You have, a baby, now you’re off! Your healthcare is gone.”
“It's a scary time to walk that back when it was so empowering maybe a few months ago,” Milton says. And, like most policies, the SCOTUS decision to overturncould disproportionately impact young mothers, especially Black women, women of color, and people living in the U.S. without documentation.
