ribuck Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I'm not sure what figures you're looking for, but this page might help: https://www.cmqcc.org/maternal_mortality/california_maternal_mortality/california_maternal_mortality_by_age It shows that (in California) the risk of maternal mortality is low up to age 35, then rises slightly for the age group 35-40, then rises greatly after that (four times as high for over 40s than in the range 20-35). It's also high under age 20, though that's not shown on this chart. The risk to the fetus does not vary quite so much, but is shown on one of the charts here: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db16.htm The risk is low from age 15 to 40, and roughly doubles outside that range.
