Introduction. One of the major public health issues across the whole world these days is teenage pregnancy which is defined as being pregnant in the age ranging from 13–19 years. About 11% of all births which occurred worldwide accounted for girls aged 15 to 19 years. From these, 95% teenage deliveries occur in low- and middle-income countries. World health 2014 statistics show that complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the second cause of death for 15–19-year-old girls globally. The aim of this study was to determine adverse obstetrical and perinatal outcomes of teenage pregnancy among deliveries at Lemlem Karl General Hospital, Tigray, Ethiopia, 2018. Result. This study result showed that 17.5% of the teenagers and 6.8% of the adults deliver low birth weight neonates. From the total teenage mothers, about thirty-five (11.3%) of them had developed pregnancy-induced hypertension, whereas about thirteen (4.2%) of adults develop pregnancy-induced hypertension. Regarding cesarean delivery, forty (12.9%) of those teenage mothers deliver by a cesarean section while 58 (18%) of the adult mothers deliver by cesarean delivery. Teenage pregnancy was significantly associated with adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes, a cesarean delivery (AOR: 0.57; 95% CI, 0.36–0.90), episiotomy (AOR: 2.01; 95% CI, 1.25–3.39), and low birth weight (AOR: 2.22; 95% CI, 1.13–4.36), and premature delivery were 2.87 (1.49–5.52). This study shows that adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes were significantly associated with teenagers than adult mothers. Therefore, giving health education on focused ANC is very important to bring change to the teenager at this study area.

“…It has also been associated with metabolic consequences, 35 resulting in poor growth and development, and affects the quality of life. 36 We need to identify the most feasible dietary interventions, including behavioural change communication interventions for pregnant adolescents, aimed at preventing adverse neonatal and infant outcomes. 37 There are similarities between some of the barriers to good dietary practice expressed by healthcare providers in this study and those described by Abas et al on Barriers to Optimal Maternal Nutrition in the Somali Region, Eastern Ethiopia.…”

BackgroundThe two most physically active stages of life, pregnancy and adolescence, put the pregnant adolescent under a lot of stress. Adolescence is a crucial era in women’s nutrition that is frequently overlooked.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore dietary perceptions, beliefs and practices among pregnant Adolescents in West Arsi, Central Ethiopia.DesignA qualitative method, specifically, a phenomenological research design, was carried out from February to March 2023.SettingsThis study was conducted in the West Arsi zone, Oromia, Ethiopia, in four randomly selected districts.ParticipantsThirty participants, 12 pregnant adolescents, 8 husbands of pregnant adolescents and 10 healthcare providers were purposefully selected and participated.MethodsIn-depth and key informant interviews were conducted. To create relevant codes, subthemes and themes, ATLAS.ti V.7.1 software was used. An inductive qualitative data analysis approach was used. The results were presented using respondents’ clear verbatim and thematic analysis.ResultsThe findings were organised into four major themes: (1) low nutritional awareness, (2) poor dietary practice, (3) barriers to good dietary practice and (4) facilitators for good dietary practice. A low perceived severity (one’s belief of the seriousness) of undernutrition and low perceived benefits (one’s belief of the benefits) of balanced nutrition have been reported. A monotonous diet (one type food usually cereal based), no change in dietary practices during pregnancy, and low intake of animal food sources (meat, egg and milk) were found under dietary practices. One of the most striking findings to emerge from this study is the Alliance for Development (AFD), the former Women Development Army, which can be a great facilitator of good dietary practice. Husbands’ involvement in nutrition education and specific nutrition training for healthcare providers are the other facilitators identified in this study. The lack of nutrition education, misconceptions and economic problems are barriers to dietary practices.ConclusionThis study found a low nutritional awareness and poor dietary practices. Further experimental studies are recommended to assess whether AFD is capable of delivering effective nutrition interventions that improve dietary practice of pregnant.

“…Pre eclampsia in 19.5% (n = 88) and placental abruption in 4.6% (n = 21). 17 Though the adverse fetal outcome in developed countries is very low, yet it is higher in babies born to teenage mothers as compared to babies born to mothers in their twenties. In our study regarding fetal outcome, incidence of still birth was found to be 15.38% and low birth weight was observed in 19.6% (20/102), it is similar to a local study that showed 20.04% low birth weight newborn to teenage women.…”
