Popis:	Medical complication: The common medical complications associated with teenage pregnancy are PIH, anaemia and to some extent sexually transmitted disease. The occurrence of PIH in teenage pregnancy is the result of nulliparity and not the age itself. Anaemia in this age group is due to nutritional deficiencies from poor socio-economic status, poor eating habits, attempt to loose weight through dieting, skipping meals, food faddism, snaking and consumption of fast food (4) Young mothers and their babies are also at greater risk of contracting HIV. (5)A recent study revealed there is no difference in the incidence of hypertension, intrauterine growth restriction of foetus, preterm labour and postpartum hemorrhage between teenage pregnancy and pregnancy above 19 years.(6)For mothers in their late teens, age in itself is not a risk factor, and poor outcomes are associated more with socioeconomic factors rather than with biology. Teenage mothers who are given high-quality maternity care have healthier babies than those that do not.
