How Do Pregnancy Occurs?

Adolescent girls who become pregnant tend to face a series of social or psychological barriers that stand to good reproductive health. Pregnancy can be the time when an adolescent self-esteem has its lowest point. This may affect plans for the pregnancy.

As for young married women who become pregnant for the first time, addressing emotional concerns can help to promote reduced-risk pregnancy and happiest. When pregnancy occurs outside marriage or has not been planned, the emotional consequences can be serious. Often, unmarried pregnant teenager faces his dilemma without the support of his family, colleagues or friends. In some cultures, can be neglected or have difficulty getting adequate counseling for pregnancy or prenatal care.

Receiving support from others can be important, pregnant adolescents in its decisions were supported by a parent or other adult, and the few who did not consult their parents, were more satisfied with their decision to continue or discontinue pregnancy than adolescents who did not receive parental support.

Early Pregnancy

In teen pregnancies occur so often poor nutrition of girls, since there is an increase of needs in this age when they are still growing.

It is also an important factor that girls are fed in many cases somewhat arbitrarily and are not adjusted to real needs.

Often have mineral and vitamin deficits that affect not only the mother but the child she carries in her womb.

Infections during pregnancy, and especially urinary tract infection, occur in a greater number of pregnant adolescents.

They are also more frequent in this age of sexually transmitted infections, favored by the circumstances in which they develop their relationships often with a high risk of affecting the fetus and very serious consequences for this, even more than for the same mother.

Another result in the pregnant teenagers is bleeding during the third trimester of pregnancy due to premature detachment of the placenta. The risk of preterm labor and fetal death in utero thus increases considerably.

The cause should be sought in the hormonal adolescent immaturity and incomplete development in the uterus also at this age.
