Two questionnaires were posted and completed: in the second trimester and 2 months after the birth. Women were divided into 5 age groups, with women aged 26\u201329 as reference.\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    . The very young women, aged 15\u201320 years, had the most negative expectations of the upcoming birth. During pregnancy they were more worried and a depressive mood was more common than in the reference group, as were social problems such as unemployment and lack of support. After the birth, they remembered being more afraid and experiencing more pain and lack of control during labour. In spite of this, their overall experience of childbirth did not differ from the reference group. In contrast, the oldest women, aged 35\u201343 years, did not have negative feelings about the upcoming birth during pregnancy, and did not remember being afraid or experiencing more pain than the reference group, but experienced childbirth overall as more difficult. Only 57% of the oldest women had a normal vaginal delivery compared with 77% of the youngest women. In addition, 7% of the newborns in the oldest group were transferred to the neonatal clinic after the birth, which was almost 3 times as often as in the reference group.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusion.<\/jats:italic>\n                    This study showed that expectations and experiences of childbirth vary by maternal age. Whereas the youngest women were more exposed to social and psychological problems, which may have affected their expectations and experiences during labour, the oldest women may have suffered from the biological disadvantage of high maternal age, which is associated with a more complicated delivery. When looking back at labour and birth, the youngest women probably felt that the total experience was better than expected, whereas the opposite may have been the case for the oldest group.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340701657209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,25]],"date-time":"2007-10-25T23:55:45Z","timestamp":1193356545000},"page":"1328-1336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["First time mothers\u2019 pregnancy and birth experiences varying by age"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"EVA","family":"ZASLOFF","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ERICA","family":"SCHYTT","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ULLA","family":"WALDENSTR\u00d6M","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Mean age of mother,1970\u20132000","volume":"51","author":"Mathews TJ","year":"2002","journal-title":"Natl Vital Stat Rep"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0029-7844(94)00330-G"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000158118.75532.51"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"DelbaereI VerstraelenH GoetgelukS MartensG De BackerG TemmermanM.Pregnancy outcome in primiparae of advanced maternal age.Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol.2006.
