The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently revealed that America's fertility rate has fallen to its lowest point in recorded history as fewer women have children and millions postpone pregnancy.
According to preliminary figures published April 9 by the CDC, roughly 3.6 million births happened in the United States in 2025 -- translating to roughly 53 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age. This marks a decrease of about 1% from 2024, and a drop of almost 20% compared with levels recorded 20 years ago
