Teenage pregnancies put mothers at high risk to many health-related complications and the newborns to poor birth outcomes. Pregnant teens need to be assessed for smoking, alcohol use, and drug use, and they are offered support to quit for a better outcome of the pregnancy. Teen mothers are more likely to have unhealthy habits that place the infant at greater risk for inadequate growth, infection, or chemical dependence. The younger a mother is below 20 years of age the greater is the risk of her infant dying during the first year of life. It is very important for pregnant teens to have early and adequate prenatal care.
