Teenage pregnancy is an accrue phenomenon observed in our societies. There are more and more young girls who get pregnant, at an early age in which they still need to complete their growing process.
Because the body of a teen is still growing she needs more nutritional support to meet both her needs and that of her baby. Nutritional counseling can be a large portion of prenatal care.This counseling will usually include information about prenatal vitamins such as folic acid, and the dos and don'ts of eating and drinking. Most of the time, lack of proper nutrition can lead to problems like anemia (low iron), low weight gain, etc.
Another problem facing teen mothers is the use of drugs and alcohol, including cigarette smoking. No amount of any of these substances is safe for use in pregnancy. In fact, their use can complicate pregnancy even further increasing the likelihood of premature birth and other complications.

Teen pregnancy has been a major social and public health problem in our country. America's teens have the highest pregnancy rate in the industrial world, and worse, 82% of those are unplanned. Although this social problem has declined by one-third over the last ten years, this is still one of the biggest cultural issues that we are facing. We can help our kids deal and avoid it through proper education. Also, parents need to be involved in their teens' lives.
