PREGNACY
TEENAGE PREGNANCY IS PREGNANCY IN HUMAN FEMALES UNDER THE
AGE OF 20 AT THE TIME THAT THE PREGNANCY ENDS. A PREGNANCY
CAN TAKE PLACE AFTER THE START OF THE PUBERTY BEFORE FIRST
MENSTRUAL PERIOD, BUT USUALLY OCCURS AFTER THE ONSET OF
PERIODS.

Pregnant teenagers face many of
the same
obstetrics issues
as other women.


For mothers aged 15–19,
risks are associated more
with socioeconomic
factors than with the
biological effects of age.

Risks of low birth weight,
premature labor, anemia,
and pre-eclampsia are
connected to the
biological age itself
There are, however,
additional medical
concerns for mothers
aged under 15.
In different countries...

In developed countries, teenage pregnancies are often associated
with social issues, including lower educationallevels, higher rates of
poverty, and other poorer life outcomes in children of teenage
mothers.

Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of
marriage, and carries a social stigma in many communities and
cultures

By contrast, teenage parents in developing countries are often
married, and their pregnancies welcomed by family and society.
Teenage pregnancies
appear to be preventable
by comprehensive sex
education and access to
birth control. Abstinenceonly sex education does not
appear to be effective
Recent studies have found that many of these
mothers had already dropped out of school
before becoming pregnant, but those in school
at the time of their pregnancy were as likely to
graduate as their peers
Early motherhood can
affect the psychosocial
development of the
infant. The children of
teen mothers are more
likely to be born
prematurely with a low
birth weight,
predisposing them to
many other lifelong
conditions.
Children of teen
mothers are at higher
risk of intellectual,
language, and socioemotional delays.
