Teenage Pregnancy
Teenage birth rates in the USA have declined steadily
since 1991. While this is good news, teen birth rates in this
country remain high, exceeding those in most developed
countries. High teen birth rates are an important concern
because teen mothers and their babies face increased risks
to their health, and their opportunities to build a future are
diminished.
•
Between 1991 and 2002, the teenage birth rate fell
by 30 percent. Still, in 2002, about 4 teenage girls in 100
had a baby.
•
About 11 percent of all U.S. births in 2002 were to
teens (age 15 to 19) and about 17 percent of teen mothers
go on to have a second baby within three years after the
birth of their first baby.
•
A teenage mother is at greater risk than women over
age 20 for pregnancy complications such as pregnancyinduced anemia and high blood pressure. Teens that are
under 15 years old also may be more than twice as likely
to die of pregnancy complications as mothers ages 20 to
24.
•
Teen mothers are more than mothers over age 20 to
give birth prematurely. In 2002, 9.6 percent of mothers age
15 to 19 years had a low birth weight baby (under 5.5
pounds), compared to 7.8 percent for mothers of all ages.
Low birth weight babies may have organs that are not fully
developed. This can lead to chronic lung problems, or
bleeding in the brain, blindness and serious intestinal
problems. Low birth weight babies are more than 20 times
as likely to die in their first year of life as a normal weight
babies.
•
Teen mothers are more likely to drop out of high
school than girls who delay childbearing. With her education cut short, a teenage mother may lack job skills, making it hard for her to find and keep a job. A teenage mother
may become financially dependent on her family or on
welfare.
