Pregnancy

Teen Pregnancy is not planned, but might happen after having unprotected sex. At a young age, supporting a child may be difficult. You need money to buy food, diapers, and any other necessities for your baby. Most of you are probably thinking, what makes teen pregnancy so different from adult pregnancy? Well, teenage pregnancies carry extra health risks for both the mom and the baby.(5) When teens become pregnant, it is more likely that the child is born premature (before the 37th weekof pregnancy), and has a low birthweight, which means they may have health problems because their organs did not have enough time to develop.(4)
