U.S. births were flat last year, as the nation continues to see fewer babies born than it did before the pandemic. A little under 3.7 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, about 3,000 fewer than the year before, according to the CDC.
, an increase experts attributed to pregnancies that couples had put off amid the early days of the pandemic.— The highest birth rates continue to be see in women in their early 30s. The number of births for women that age was basically unchanged from the year before. Births were down slightly for women in their late 20s, who have the second-highest birth rate.
— The cesarean section birth rate rose slightly, to 32.2% of births. That’s the highest it’s been since 2014. Some experts worry that C-sections are done more often than medically necessary. More complete and detailed 2022 numbers are expected later this year. That data should offer a better understanding of what happened in individual states and among different racial and ethnic groups, Hamilton said.
