The aim of the Postponing Parenthood project was to investigate several aspects
of the delaying of childbearing phenomenon in Sweden and Norway, such as medical
risks and parental experiences. Data were retrieved from the Swedish and
Norwegian Medical Birth Registers and three different cohorts: the Swedish Young
Adult Panel Study, the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort, and the Swedish Women's
Experiences of Childbirth cohort. Postponing childbirth to age 35 years and later
increased the risk of rare but serious pregnancy outcomes, such as stillbirth and
very preterm birth. Older first-time parents were slightly more anxious during
pregnancy, and childbirth overall was experienced as more difficult, compared
with younger age groups. First-time mothers' satisfaction with life decreased
from about age 28 years, both when measured during pregnancy and early
parenthood. Delaying parenthood to mid-30 or later was more related to lifestyle
than socioeconomic factors, suggesting that much could be done in terms of
informing young persons about the limitations of fertility and assisted
reproductive techniques, and the risks associated with advanced parental age.
