Third Trimester High Risk Pregnancy Teen Pregnancy Multiple Pregnancy Gestational Diabetes Preeclampsia ... Preterm Labor After Delivery Breastfeeding Weight Control Between Pregnancies Teen Pregnancy Adolescent pregnancies are higher risk than the pregnancies of healthy adult women. There are several reasons for this. First, teenage girls may not be completely through their own growth process. Adding pregnancy to a time of rapid personal growth will certainly increase nutritional demands. It will also challenge reproductive organs early in their development. As a result, pregnant teens are more likely to deliver their babies early (premature) or have a baby with low birth weight. Complications of pregnancy such as anemia, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and preeclampsia are also more likely to develop. Because of higher risks, it is critical that pregnant teenagers seek prenatal care as soon as they find out they are pregnant. Enrolling in prenatal care early in pregnancy can help ensure a healthy pregnancy outcome. Good obstetrical care will ensure that problems are detected and treated early, protecting both mother and child. It is very important that pregnant teenage girls keep all their prenatal medical appointments and that they are educated about pregnancy needs and good health practices.

NM Department of Health Family Planning Program About Family Planning Services and Clinics Staff Training Teen Pregnancy ... Economic Impact 2003 Teen Pregnancy Literature: Risk and Protective Factors Bridging Two Worlds 10 Facts The teen birth rate in New Mexico is decreasing, but not as quickly as for the United States. In 2004, New Mexico’s teen birth rate of 59.8 births per 1000 females, age 15-19, was 1.5 times higher than the United States teen birth rate of 41.2. Between 1990 and 2004, New Mexico’s birth rate to mothers age 15-19 declined 23% compared to 31.2% nationally. Teen pregnancy and childbearing are associated with adverse consequences for teen mothers and their children, but it is important to note that many of the negative consequences for teen mothers are due to the disadvantaged situation in which many of these girls already live. Teenage mothers and fathers tend to have less education and are more likely to live in poverty than their peers who are not teen parents. Babies born to teen mothers are more likely to have health problems at birth, do poorly in school, do time in jail and also become teen parents. Teen pregnancy imposes costs on the teenage mothers, children born to teenagers and society in general. Teenage mothers can expect to earn, after tax, between $50,000 and $120,000 less over a lifetime compared to mothers who delay until at least age 20,. Children born to teenagers in any one year earn $100 million less over their lifetime. An estimate of the annual extra cost of welfare services for these children is between $1 million and $2 million. Overall, the economic impact on society is $170,000 for each teenage mother, for a total of nearly $590 million for all new mothers each year in New Mexico.

Teenage pregnancy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Teenage pregnancy is formally defined as a pregnancy in a young woman who will not reach her 20th birthday before the expected birth, regardless of whether the woman is married or is legally an adult (age 14 to 21, depending on the country). In everyday speech, the speaker is usually referring to unmarried minors who become pregnant unintentionally. The average age of menarche (first menstrual period) in the United States is 12 years old, though this figure varies by ethnicity, and ovulation occurs only irregularly before this. Whether fertility leads to early pregnancy depends on a number of factors, both societal and personal. Worldwide, rates of teenage pregnancy range from 143 per 1000 in some sub-Saharan African countries to 2.9 per 1000 in South Korea. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s. However, there are additional medical concerns for younger mothers, particularly those under fifteen and those living in developing countries. For mothers between 15 and 19, age in itself is not a risk factor, but additional risks may be associated with socioeconomic factors.

17. Washington State Dept Of Health A Public Health Fact Sheet on Teen Pregnancy rates in Washington State http://www.doh.wa.gov/cfh/mch/cahcp/teenpreg2.htm

Public Health Fact Sheet Teen Pregnancy How widespread is teen pregnancy? In 2005, one in 36 of Washington State's teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 17 became pregnant; one in 67 had a baby (1,966 births). Of those giving birth, 16 percent had a prior pregnancy. This age group was chosen because: 1) they are of school age; 2) pregnancy to teens younger than age 15 is a rare event; and, 3) the 15-17 year old group is at the highest risk for poor birth outcomes. The rate of pregnancy* among 15 year-olds in Washington has declined steadily from 59.0/ per 1,000 females ages 15-17 in 1989 to 27.6/1,000 in 2005, which is the lowest rate in over 20 years. Washington's abortion rate for 15 year-olds steadily decreased from 30/1,000 in 1989 to 12.5/1,000 in 2005. Washington's birth rate for 15-17 year-olds in 2005, was 14.9/1,000, the lowest rate since 1980. This compares to a national teen birth rate for 2005 of 21.4. Who is at high risk for teen pregnancy? Early sexual behavior among teens may be influenced by many complex factors such as poor quality family relationships, non-voluntary sexual experiences, poverty, lack of supportive adult role models, and negative outlook on the future. These influences may also interact with other factors such as substance use, risky sexual behaviors (e.g., multiple partners, poor contraceptive use), and low academic achievement. While there are no statewide, Washington data on sexual activity in youth; national data for 2005 indicate that about 47% of high schoolers have ever had sexual intercourse (36% female and 48% males). Approximately 6% of youth surveyed had sexual intercourse before age 13 (4% females and 9% males).
