Teen Pregnancy
Although teenage birth rates have decreased steadily since 1991, the birth rate for teenage mothers is very high. About one out of four teen mothers go on to have a second baby within two years after the birth of their first baby. ... High teen birth rates are an important concern because teen mothers face increased risks to their health. ... The findings highlight the importance of adequate calcium intake during teenage pregnancy. About one out of every three teen mothers showed signs of significant bone thinning after giving birth. Also teens are less likely to gain an adequate amount of weight during pregnancy, which can harm the baby. A teenage mother is at greater risk than women over 20 for pregnancy complications, such as premature labor, anemia, and high blood pressure.
