Teenage pregnancy refers to pregnancy that occurs in adolescent females under the age of 18 years old, although some authors include females under the age of 20 years old. Teenage girls have a higher risk of developing complications related to pregnancy, and the rate of caesarean section can rise dramatically. Cases of teenage women with pregnancy must be approached in a multidisciplinary manner and need a closer check-out than other pregnancies.
The following study was conducted in the Clinical County Hospital, Saint Andrew the Apostle’ Constanta, over a period of five years, between 2018-2022, and followed the incidence, socio-cultural environment, rate of caesarean section and indications for surgery.
