Extractions: By Michele Bloomquist (WebMD) The summer before freshman year of high school is usually carefree and easy a time of fun before focusing on homework and meeting new friends. Probably the last thing on a teenage girl's mind is going through labor. That certainly held true for Cassandra, then almost 15. "I didn't even realize I was pregnant," she says. "I skipped my periods all the time."
U.S. Teenage Pregnancy Statistics US Teenage pregnancy Statistics With Comparative Statistics For Women Aged 2024. This report also available in pdf. Notes on Teenage pregnancy Statistics. http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/teen_stats.html
Extractions: Notes on Teenage Pregnancy Statistics The data in these tables come from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (number of births); The Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGItotal number of abortions); the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (age distribution of women obtaining abortions); and the U.S. Bureau of the Census (population estimates). The exact sources are listed after the tables. We have adjusted the age distributions of women obtaining abortions to ensure year-to-year comparability; for a description of the methodology, see S.K. Henshaw and J. Van Vort, eds., Abortion Factbook, 1992 Edition: Readings, Trends, and State and Local Data to 1988 , New York: AGI, 1992, p. 162. Please note that in these tables, "age" refers to the woman's age at which the pregnancy ended, not the age at which she became pregnant or decided between having an abortion and carrying the pregnancy to term. Consequently, actual numbers of pregnancies among teenagers are higher than those reported here, because most of the 19-year-old women who were pregnant had their births or abortions at age 20 and, thus, were not counted as teenagers. Likewise, please note that "year" refers to the calendar year in which the birth or abortion occurred, not the year in which the conception occurred.

Extractions: W HEN C HILDREN H AVE C HILDREN No. 31 (Updated 1/00) Babies born in the U.S. to teenage mothers are at risk for long-term problems in many major areas of life, including school failure, poverty, and physical or mental illness. The teenage mothers themselves are also at risk for these problems. Teenage pregnancy is usually a crisis for the pregnant girl and her family. Common reactions include anger, guilt, and denial. If the father is young and involved, similar reactions can occur in his family. Adolescents who become pregnant may not seek proper medical care during their pregnancy, leading to an increased risk for medical complications. Pregnant teenagers require special understanding, medical care, and educationparticularly about nutrition, infections, substance abuse, and complications of pregnancy. They also need to learn that using tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs, can damage the developing fetus. All pregnant teenagers should have medical care beginning early in their pregnancy. Pregnant teens can have many different emotional reactions: some may not want their babies some may want them for idealized and unrealistic ways others may view the creation of a child as an achievement and not recognize the serious responsibilities some may keep a child to please another family member some may want a baby to have someone to love, but not recognize the amount of care the baby needs
