[b]oh, please.  average, maybe.  young?  no.[/b][/quote]

You are either so young, you think 34’is old. Or you don’t live in D.C.  [/quote]

no, i live in dc, and i'm older than 34 and a professional.  i just don't believe that the average age for having a first child in this city is considerably older than 34.  34 is not on the "young" age for having a first child here.  average?  probably.  but not young.[/quote]

A couple of years ago the average age for a first time delivery at Sibley was 37.[/quote]

Here's a pretty recent article (2018) where a Sibley spokesperson explains that the high rate of C-sections there is because "the average age of a woman giving birth there is 35."  It doesn't say first baby, and it doesn't say 37 either.  And it's pretty obviously the hospital in the city with the oldest women giving birth.
