How old your mother was when you were born may affect if you’ll go onto have children, a major study concludes. 

Nearly 20 per cent of women born to mothers older than 30 went on to never have children, researchers discovered. 

While the figure was only 13 per cent for those born to teenage mothers and 15 per cent for those whose mother gave birth between 20 and 24.  

The results, made by Canadian scientists assessing pregnancy records of 43,000 women in the US, come amid a surge in older mothers.
