The number of women getting pregnant after the age of 40 has reached a record high after doubling over the past 15 years, official figures revealed yesterday. The Office for National Statistics said conceptions in England and Wales rose by 3% in 2006, and the fertility rate increased among women in all age groups over 20. But the biggest leap was among women over 40. About 25,400 of them became pregnant in 2006 - 6.4% more than in 2005 and 109% more than in 1991.
