Since the 2006–2008 CEMD report, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) has remained fairly constant up to age 34, but it doubles after age 35 and quadruples after 40 years of age. The same pattern is seen in the latest 2016–2018 report. The average age of childbearing in the UK has risen ‐–in 2008 it was 29.3 years with 20% of births being to women aged 35 years or over, while in 2018 it was 30.6 years with 23% to women aged 35 years or over.
