You are at an increased risk for having Placenta Previa, which can turn into Placenta Abruption which the mother and/or baby can die from and with that condition the baby is at a high risk of being premature which can cause problems their whole life just from being premature.



This is what has happened to me. I haven't died and my daughter hasn't died, but because I chose to get pregnant a couple years too young, I am terrified of my baby being premature or her dying.







EDIT: If something happens such as her being born early or deathe, I will never be able to rid myself of the guilt. Anemia is not related to being younger, although I am Anemic. Being 18 years old and pregnant is a lot different even from being 20 years old and pregnant. Those two years allow your body time and the risks go down until you are 39. Then they increase again, but the risks are higher and lower with different conditions being a teenager compared to an advanced maternal age.What risks are there with teen pregnancy? Health wise?There are actually more risks to having a pregnancy past the age of 35 than there are for teens. Teens to young adults are at their healthiest typically, and this is when childbirth is usually best (not saying it's better to have a baby younger, but the body generally can recover quicker when you're younger than when you're older). However, having a baby as a very young teenager poses risks. After maybe 15, there's no difference in having a baby than if you were in your 20's or 30's. If the girl is maybe 11 or 12, then yes there could be risks such as premature labor, low birth weight, etc.
Ok, the baby could be still-born, have many brith defects. The statistics of your baby dying, being born premature, or other health problems increase a great amount. It is a very wrong thing to do. Mainly to the baby. And as for you, since as a teen you are still maturing, growing, and need all the nutrients you can get, it's unhealthy for you also. Many risks come with it such as malnutrtion and anemia. Like i said don't do it. You could harm a baby. And dyourself.What risks are there with teen pregnancy? Health wise?There are always risks no matter what the age. With teens, its still pretty safe health wise. With very young teens..say 11 or12 years old, there could be an increased chance of premature birth if there isn't enough room for the baby to grow, or miscarriage. As far as other teens go though, it really isn't that unsafe. Back in the olden days, it was the "norm" to start having babies young because the life expectancy was much shorter and young women had babies successfully all the time. The only thing really is that there may be an increased chance of miscarriage or premature birth, but most teens can carry a baby to term with no problems.What risks are there with teen pregnancy?

It's not any different than a 25 year old having a baby. That's why girls start their periods so early because their bodies are ready and capable of having a baby. But the risks that everyone faces are pretty broad, I would ask your doctor for a more in depth answer. But pretty much the most common risks are miscarriage, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, and placenta previa.
Teen bodies are no more or less fragile than someone in their 20's or 30's. Reproductively, if they are capable of getting pregnant, then their bodies are ready for childbirth (physically and biologically, not necessarily emotionally). Some may say otherwise to deter a teen from getting pregnant or to justify a termination.What risks are there with teen pregnancy? Health wise?
The risk are mostly the same as if you were an adult. When you get you're period that means your body is capable of carrying a baby. There many risks with pregnancies but it's for EVERY woman not just teens.
