Teenage pregnancy significantly increases risks for mothers, including higher rates of anemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and preterm labor. Fetal outcomes are also worse, with increased perinatal mortality and low birth weight babies.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Adolescent Health

Background:

  • Teenage pregnancy presents unique obstetric challenges.
  • Understanding the comparative outcomes of adolescent first pregnancies is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare obstetric and fetal outcomes between teenage first-time mothers and a control group of adult mothers (20-29 years).

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of obstetric case records from a district hospital in 1992.
  • Comparison of 200 teenage first pregnancies with a control group of adult mothers.

Main Results:

  • Teenage mothers experienced significantly higher rates of anemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), and preterm labor.

  • Normal delivery was more common in teenagers (82.5%) versus controls (76.5%), linked to higher low birth weight rates.
  • Adolescent mothers faced worse fetal outcomes, with 8% perinatal mortality and 35% low birth weight infants.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pregnancy in teenagers is associated with substantially increased maternal and fetal complications.
    • Adolescent first pregnancies require specialized obstetric care to mitigate risks like low birth weight and perinatal mortality.
