I just posted on the DC SPJ website a rather long item from the US Census Bureau with all sorts great data about mothers and Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day coming! Need some background data for a story?

Did you know:

• The average age of a woman giving birth for the first time was 25 in 2006?
• August was the month with the most births in 2006?
• Wednesday was the most common day to give birth that same year?
• There were 9.9 million single mothers with children younger than 18 in 2009?

Now you do.
