Is It True?

Is it true that when a baby is born to a
teenage mom it has more problems, then say
a baby born to 20 or so year old?

Not necessarily, but is it more likely to
have problems? Yes it is. Think about
it. You aren't even fully developed yet
and your body is trying to develop another
human. You pregnancy can have a lot more
complications, your body can suffer a lot
of consequences and so could your baby.

Alot of girls have children at a young age
and they do have more complications then
say if you were 23.. Just like she said
your body isnt developed yet..

Age could be a factor in the development
and delivery process because teenagers
dont eat as healthily as someone who is 20
and their bodies havent finished
developing. But there are more
complications in women over 35. But it is
said that (now let me see if I can get
this right, I cant remember it word for
word lol!) that teenagers have a higher
percent of having an easier labour (now I
cant for the life of me remember the
reason!) i'll try to find it somewheres on
the internet... Lol!

I thought about wether or not I should
have a baby, and I have decided to wait.
I have my whole life ahead of me, it would
be wrong to bring a baby into the world at
my age, because I am to young. Thanks
everyone!

A read a statistic somewhere that said
that something like 30% of daughters born
to teenagers become teenage moms
themselves.

I am glad I came here first. Now I know
what I would be giving up, and how it
would effect me, the baby, my family, and
friends. I want to say thanks to
everyone, but esspecially sarahsweet. You
gave me a big reality check, and I am glad
you did! Thanks to everyone and god
bless!

They dont get it for themselves is what
she is saying. They get offered the same,
but they dont get it for themselves.

Right but they are often scared to tell
anyone and so don't get the medical care
they could.
Like they don't get their early check ups
and pre-natal vitamins.
They kinda pretend it isn't happening to
them and ignore it.
If only they would speak up and get that
care, but most are afraid of their parents
re-action.

Usually because they are either afraid or
do not know better, but not often out of
malice or spite.
