The discovery of being pregnant can be a very traumatic event for a teen. There are a variety of options available to a young girl in this situation, each with its own emotional consequences. One option which many pregnant adolescents choose with a heavy heart is the termination of their Teenage pregnancy. Abortions cause many teens to suffer in silence, often alone and ashamed of sharing their choice with others. Adults must make sure that a pregnant teen is not pressured into choosing an abortion and that she receives all the necessary emotional support when terminating her teenage pregnancy.

Abortion consists of ending a pregnancy before the unborn child can live outside the mother. An abortion can be either spontaneous, called a miscarriage, or it can be deliberate (induced). Before 1973, induced abortions were illegal; the case of Roe vs. Wade, however, forced the Supreme Court to confirm a woman’s right to choose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

The safest abortions are done in the first trimester of pregnancy, which corresponds to the first 12 weeks (weeks are calculated from the woman’s last menstrual period). There are a few different types of abortion, and the specific type performed on a particular teen depends on how far in the pregnancy she is.

The earliest type of termination of a teenage pregnancy - abortion - that can be done is called a medical abortion, which can be done within the first nine weeks of pregnancy. Two different drugs may be used, methotrexate or mifepristone (RU486), followed by another drug called misoprostol. This type of abortion does not require any type of surgery, but takes longer to work, requiring several visits to the doctor or clinic. There is often quite a bit of cramping and bleeding at home; indeed, the combination of these two drugs has the effect of causing the uterus to expel the fetus. This procedure is unsuccessful approximately 10% of the time, causing a woman to turn to the second major type of abortion, the surgical abortion.

The most common type of termination of teenage pregnancy - abortion - is vacuum aspiration, a surgical procedure in which an anesthetic is given to the woman to manually extract the fetus from her uterus. This procedure can be performed within the first trimester of pregnancy. For this procedure, the cervix is gently dilated about a quarter-inch and a narrow tube is inserted through the vagina, then the cervix, and into the uterus. The contents of the uterine lining are then vacuumed out. The procedure lasts a few minutes and more often than not the woman returns home the same day.

As with all pregnancies, teenage pregnancy abortions in the second trimester (beginning the 13th week of pregnancy) are rare, though they do occur; prostaglandin is given in a clinic and this results in uterine contractions which can last several hours. Abortions after the 24th week of pregnancy, or the third trimester, are only performed if the fetus is severely deformed or if the mother’s life is in danger.

Seventy four percent of sexually active females between the ages of 15 and 19 have partners who are the same age or 1 to 3 years older. Twenty five percent of girls had a first partner who was 4 years older or more. Twenty percent of Teenage mothers have a partner six or more years older. These statistics on teenage pregnancy are important because the younger the girl is when she begins to engage in sexual intercourse, the greater the difference in age between her and her partner; more importantly, adolescents with older partners are more likely to be sexually active on a consistent basis, less likely to use contraception, and much more likely to experience at least one unintended pregnancy.

Among adolescents between the ages of 15 and 17 who practice abstinence, 94% claimed that concern about an unwanted pregnancy was the major influence in their decision to wait to have sex. Of those girls who are sexually active and are between the ages of 15 to 19, the rate of pregnancy has declined, from 211.8 per 1000 in 1995 to 197.1 in 1998).

According to statistics on teenage pregnancy gathered by various studies, thirty three percent of sexually active adolescents between the ages of 15 to 17 are in relationships that move too fast sexually and at least 29% report feeling pressured to have sex. Twenty five percent of sexually active adolescents use drugs or alcohol during sexual encounters and 51% claim that they tend to do more sexually under the influence of these substances than they normally would do. Whether under the influence of drugs and alcohol or not, there are still many teenagers who do not engage in safe sexual practices. According to statistics on teenage pregnancy, one in five sexually active teenagers uses no method of contraception. A teenage girl who engages in sexual intercourse without using contraception has a 90% chance of experiencing an unwanted pregnancy within one year.

Forty eight percent of 12-17-year-olds claim that they desire more information about sexual health from health care providers. Indeed, according to statistics on teenage pregnancy collected by one study, only 6 in 10 sexually active 15-17 year-olds has ever seen a health care provider about their sexual health. Due to this lack of information, one unwanted pregnancy often leads to others; about seventeen percent of adolescents go on to have a second baby within three years after their first baby is born.

Statistics on teenage pregnancy illustrate that rates of teenage pregnancy are going down, however. The decrease in the adolescent birth rate has contributed roughly to 26% of the decrease in the number of children living in poverty, and to 68% of the decrease in the number of young children living in single family homes.

Teen pregnancy and health risks to both mother and infant are unfortunately closely related. In general, infants born to adolescent mothers are at a higher risk of accidental injury and poisoning, complications of prematurity, learning disabilities and cognitive problems, minor acute infections, sudden infant death syndrome. Also, rates of premature birth and low birth weight are higher among Teenage mothers.

Teen pregnancy and health risks go hand in hand in girls 14 years old and younger because of an underdeveloped pelvis which can lead to difficulties in the childbirth process. In industrialized nations, this situation can be resolved with a Cesarean section. In developing nations, however, which have high rates of adolescent pregnancy, medical services are scarce and problems during childbirth can lead to eclampsia, obstetric fistula, infant mortality, or maternal death.

Another reason that teen pregnancy and health risks are closely associated is due to lack of knowledge of proper behavior; pregnant adolescents tend to have very poor eating habits, do not take vitamins and may smoke, drink and do drugs while they are pregnant, and this may lead to their baby being born with health problems or being stillborn. Statistics show that teenagers are also less likely to be of adequate pre-pregnancy weight, which increases the risk of having a baby with low birth weight.

Looking at some statistics regarding teen pregnancy and health risks, in 2002, 9.6% of 15-19 year old mothers had a baby of low birth weight, while only 7.8% of mothers of any age had babies that weighed less than 5.5 pounds. For pregnant adolescents that are younger, the risk is even greater; 11.3% of mothers aged 15 had a low birth weight baby. These underweight babies may have organs that are not fully developed, which can lead to things like respiratory distress syndrome, bleeding in the brain, blindness, and intestinal problems.

Furthermore, the relationship between teen pregnancy and health risks is dependent on the fact that pregnant adolescents often do not receive early and regular prenatal care, putting both the mother and the baby at risk. In 2002, 6.6 percent of 15-19 year-old mothers got late or no prenatal care; this is in comparison with 3.6% of all age groups. This is even more serious because an adolescent mother is at a greater risk for pregnancy complications such as anemia and high blood pressure, and these risks are even greater for adolescents under 15 years of age. Adolescents in this young age group are more than twice as likely to die of pregnancy complications as mothers between the ages of 20 to 24.

Out of 12 million cases annually, 3 million are the teens affected by sexually transmitted diseases. If the mother is affected by an STD, these can cause serious health risks to her child as well; syphilis can cause death of the infant, besides causing blindness and death of the mother, and HIV can be fatal to both mother and child.

Whether a pregnant teenager looks online, in a magazine, or in a pamphlet at a clinic, it is always helpful for her to know that she is not the only one going through such an ordeal. Stories on Teenage pregnancy are a comfort to pregnant teens; they look to these stories for suggestions, strength and inspirations.

For example, girls can read stories on teenage pregnancy that deal with the terror an adolescent feels when she finds out she is pregnant: “Two pink lines stared back at me. I was numb. The next few weeks were filled with conflicting emotions about the pregnancy. The things I knew about unwed young mothers weren’t good things. I knew how I looked upon girls I knew that got pregnant and it wasn’t how I wanted to be looked at.”

Stories on teenage pregnancy can show girls how teenage mothers cope with how society views them: “As my pregnancy continued and then as my son grew I got use to the stares and the remarks, ?You look to young to be his mother!’ But as I talked with people they always ended up saying how “different” I was then other teenagers that got pregnant. I was unlike them because I went to a good school, I lived on my own, made things work with my son’s father, took care of my child and responsibilities, worked three jobs, and had a plan for the future. Part of me believed them to a certain point. I did what I had to do for my child and I and the images of teen motherhood that society wants us to see were much different.” From this story, an adolescent mom can gain the strength to know that, should she choose to keep the child, she can make it.

Girls can also read about the “ignorance” of other girls in going through their pregnancies, and can learn from previous mistakes: “I only wish that I had known that I had a right to make a birth plan, and to request that it be respected. I knew about birth plans, I just didn’t think one would apply to my situation. I felt that I barely had a right to be having this child, who was I to say how he or she would come into this world.”

By reading stories on teenage pregnancy, girls can understand that all teenage mothers are just as scared as they are: “I sat at my desk, 15 years old, failing in school, pregnant, sick and terrified. I sat at my desk, rubbing my still-flat stomach and clenching my jaw tightly to hold down my vomit.”

At times a teenage girl finds herself alone, alienated from her friends and family because of her situation. Reading stories on teenage pregnancy, seeing names and faces attached to other lives like hers, can make her feel a little less alone.

Some antenatal exercise classes use pregnancy fitness videos. These classes are an ideal place to exercise under supervision and to meet other expecting moms.

Back pain is extremely common during pregnancy due to the extra weight and changes in your body. Many women can develop sciatica and pubic symphesis. To help relieve the symptoms there are lots of back pain orientated pregnancy fitness videos. Exercise such as yoga or Pilates have workouts specifically designed to help alleviate the symptoms associated with these conditions.

If you like aqua aerobics then you can purchase aqua pregnancy fitness videos. Exercise programmes are detailed in these to help you if you are unable to attend an antenatal aqua class.

There is no doubt that having a baby is one of life’s greatest joys. Many women feel this experience was the most important and miraculous event that occurs in their lives. However, it is rare for a new mom to excited about the prospect of Getting Pregnant after giving birth. The body needs time to heal and the parents obviously want some time to get to know the current addition to the family. Sex immediately following delivery isn’t usually high on mom’s priority list, but it will happen and it is important to be prepared.

If you were to do a poll of women who have children close in age, a good percentage of them would say that the younger child was a pleasant surprise. In other words many unplanned pregnancies occur shortly after the arrival of the first baby. getting pregnant after giving birth happens all the time. If you and your partner feel ready to be parents again, great, if not be sure to discuss contraceptive options before those amorous feelings strike again.

After giving birth, most women’s periods begin as soon as five to six weeks after delivery. At this point getting pregnant after giving birth is completely possible. A new mom who has decided to breastfeed will probably have longer before her cycle begins again. Some breastfeeding mothers don’t have a period until after the baby is weaned. Each woman’s body is different though, so taking precautions after delivery is important if a new pregnancy isn’t desirable at this time.

It is highly unlikely to become pregnant in the three weeks following the birth of a child. After this point things get to be iffy. Believing that because a period hasn’t occurred yet makes getting pregnant after giving birth more likely. You can always hit those ovulation days without realizing it until another little one is on the way. Since most doctors recommend waiting at least six weeks after a vaginal delivery and sometimes more after a C-section, contraception shouldn’t be a problem until after the six week checkup. Just be sure to give your chosen method enough time in your system. Before that, a backup alternative may be a wise decision.

As far as what type of birth control depends on the woman and her decision to breastfeed or not. Those who do breastfeed will probably want to choose a non hormonal form of birth control. Anyone else will have more freedom in their method to avoid getting pregnant after giving birth. Especially after the new arrival, many couples chose to wait before giving parenthood another go.

Unlike the number of reasons someone ends up pregnant, one, the numbers of reasons a person may not get pregnant are many. All kinds of different factors play into a woman’s overall reproductive health. Her lifestyle choices and those of her partner, her general health, and other factors often have an impact on not Getting Pregnant. If a baby is the ultimate goal, fortunately high quality medical help can increase the odds for conception. Some of the more well known risks to fertility include an abnormal weight, either too heavy or underweight, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and trying to conceive at the wrong times of the month. Here are a few that may not have occurred to a woman struggling to have a baby.

Obviously a regular period is a sign of a healthy, normal ovulation cycle. If a woman’s periods aren’t regular, the changes of not getting pregnant are much higher. Some diseases like thyroid problems and diabetes can affect period regularity. Another possible cause of irregular cycles is the presence of a sexually transmitted infection. In these cases the reproductive organs are damaged by the infection causing scarring. Even when treated the damage may have already occurred. A woman in this situation will find that getting pregnant is much harder.

We have already discussed that idea that an unhealthy lifestyle can result in not getting pregnant. But what if a woman doesn’t smoke or drink exercises often and eats right? The problem may still be environmental factors. If a woman works around harmful chemicals on a regular basis, they could easily adversely affect her fertility. Pesticides are a huge concern in this manner as are chemical compounds. If she does become pregnant these chemicals are also linked to miscarriage.

As unfair as it seems, age may be a factor for why a woman is not getting pregnant. It is a well known fact that woman after the age of 35 have a harder time getting pregnant and is at a higher risk for having a child with a birth defect. Times don’t get really difficult until after age 40. Pregnancy is still possible, but not as likely. The reason for this is that as the body ages, even at such a young age as 40, the quality and health of a woman’s eggs begins to decline. This is also the reason for a higher occurrence of birth defects.

The important thing for a woman who is not getting pregnant to remember is that often times these things happen through no fault of her own.
