Teen pregnancy's social impact isn't only the issue. It is risky for the mom's health and that of the baby's.

Read on from: SOURCE

Most teenagers don't plan to get pregnant, but many do. Teen pregnancies carry extra health risks to the mother and the baby. Often, teenagers don't receive timely prenatal care, and they have a higher risk for pregnancy-related high blood pressure and its complications. Risks for the baby include premature birth and a low birthweight.

If you're a pregnant teenager, you can help yourself and your baby by

Taking your prenatal vitamins for your health and to prevent some birth defects
Avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs
Using a condom, if you are still having sex, to prevent sexually transmitted diseases that could hurt your baby

Teen pregnancy is avoidable, but if it happens, I'm glad a lot of facilities and groups could be gained helped from compared in the 90s when all about it seem a bit of a taboo...

You're right. Times have changed. The more instances teen pregnancy happens, the more our culture becomes open-minded on this situation. I think sex education and increasing awareness of how this could be avoided should be done more importantly.

Not only sex education but utmost guidance and supervision from the parents are a must!

I second ^^ being that these are still "teenagers" the parents are the most accountable in this matter. If our kids our already adults and an unplanned pregnancy happens, then we could only do so much BUT they're already accountable for that... As for me I'll do my best to educate and supervise my kids to be responsible adults later on.
