Most of the teen mothers from low income group than adult (70% vs.30%).In group A planned pregnancy were (18.7% vs.24.7%) and contraceptive use ( 21.3% vs.72%) which significantly less in comparison to group B. Regular antenatal check up also(10% vs.26%, P<001) less in them. Teen mothers found more anemic (47% vs. 30%). Obstructed labour (14.2% vs. 10.6%) Eclampsia( 3.9% vs.2.1%) and fetal distress (24.2% vs.17.1%) more in A group whereas Prolong labour( 45.5% vs. 55.3%) and Hemorrhage(5.2% vs.14.2%) less in comparison with group B. Caesarean sections and instrumental deliveries significantly higher (59.3% vs.48.7%,) & (6% vs.2.3%) and fetal outcome adverse in teen mothers in comparison to adult mothers.

“…114 Pregnancy Adolescent pregnancy is considered high risk from psychological, medical, and sociological perspectives. 130,131 Psychologically, pregnancy interrupts normal developmental tasks by forcing teens to assume adult responsibilities before they are prepared to do so. Adolescents are at higher risk for complications of pregnancy because they frequently fail to seek early prenatal care and are often noncompliant with medical recommendations, rendering them at risk for anemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preterm births, and lowbirth weight infants.…”

Although pregnant adolescents are at high risk of poor birth outcomes, the majority of adolescents go on to have full-term, healthy babies. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States who were surveyed from 1994-1995 through 2008, were used to examine the epidemiology of preterm birth and low birth weight within this population. Outcomes of pregnancies were reported by participants in the fourth wave of data collection (when participants were 24-32 years of age); data were compared between female participants who reported a first singleton livebirth at less than 20 years of age (n = 1,101) and those who were 20 years of age or older (n = 2,846). Multivariable modeling was used to model outcomes; predictors included demographic characteristics and maternal health and behavior.
