About 85% of these pregnancies are unplanned, which in any population can increase the risk for problems. The biggest risk for teen mothers is delaying prenatal care or worse, 7.2% received no care at all. The reason for lack of prenatal care is usually delayed pregnancy testing, denial or even fear of telling others about the pregnancy. Most states have a health department or University clinic where prenatal care is free or low cost and patient confidentiality is very important, meaning no one can tell the teen mother's family. Because the body of a teen is still growing she will need more nutritional support to meet both her needs and that of her baby. Nutritional counseling can be a large portion of prenatal care, usually done by a doctor or a midwife, sometimes a nutritionist. This counseling will usually include information about prenatal vitamins, folic acid, and the dos and don'ts of eating and drinking. Lack of proper nutrition can lead to problems like anemia (low iron), low weight gain, etc.

teen pregnancy Stop Bristol Palin and Prevent Teen Pregnancy Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 In a post I wrote here in February , I said that I certainly hope that Bristol does not try to speak to teens about pregnancy prevention until she learns how to discuss the use of birth control and condoms. It has been clear for months that she refuses to educate teens in a constructive way, so why was she invited by pregnancy prevention groups to be a spokesperson for this day?! On this National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, my message is to Bristol: Please use birth control effectively, and teach others about it, too. And please stop telling teens that abstinence is the only way, because that is exactly what led to your unplanned pregnancy.

When discussing your family values concerning teen sex and pregnancy, be clear modeling behavior It is hard for a teenager to imagine the difficult road of becoming a teen parent. The reality of having a child is not something that is easily taught or shown. Parents can make the most impact on their teens by using the hopes and dreams of their teenager to counteract the difficulties that would arise should the teen have a child. Use examples of teen pregnancy in their school or in the media to start talking about which hardships would most influence your teen. Use your active listening skills.
