In Australia, the average age for having a first child is 30 years old. The range of age for first-time motherhood in Australia is 25-45 years old. Late motherhood is very common in Australia, with work and financial considerations being key factors here.
One study estimated a woman can have around 15 pregnancies in a lifetime. And depending on how many babies she births for each pregnancy, she'd probably have around 15-30 children. But the "most prolific mother ever," according to Guinness World Records, was Mrs. Feodor Vassilyev in 19th century Russia.

A woman's peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline happens faster once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely.
Most often, ovulation begins before women turn 20. On average, it first happens when a girl is between 12 and 13.

This means that a young woman can become pregnant from vaginal intercourse before her first period.
Even if you don't have periods, you could still get pregnant. You may not know what caused your periods to stop. Possible causes include pregnancy, hormonal changes, and losing or gaining a lot of weight quickly. Some medicines and stress could also cause it.
