Please may I have information on the number of live births per year listed by number of the woman's previous live-born children in England and Wales from 2005 to 2022?

Thank you for your request. 

Our Births by Parents' Characteristics bulletin shows the number of live births by the number of previous live births for births occurring between 2014 and 2022. 

For the years 2009 to 2013 our Births by Characteristics of Mother 2 bulletin provides the data you have requested.
