The aim in this paper is to investigate the effect of age factor of mother as a cause of pregnancy wastage and delivery types. Using the information from 2967 mothers of Rajshahi District within the reproductive span (15-49 years), we have found that the proportion of pregnancy wastage to live birth in two edges of reproductive span is tremendously dodgy whereas in other age groups between 20 and 35 these are comparatively benign. Further, 6717 births were accounted to investigate the flow of caesarian deliveries over the ages. We found 359 caesarian deliveries against 6358 natural (vaginal) deliveries. Some statistical tools were used and the velocity and elasticity curves were drawn to analyze the risk of pregnancy wastage and caesarian deliveries. Our result shows that the risk of caesarian delivery increases with the increased age and this risk moves faster than the age.
