Abstract

Motherhood is a dream to be fulfilled with emotional, psychological & physical maturity. Adolescence is a grey zone between paediatrics & gynaecology. Adolescent pregnancy is a child born to a child who is not mature & will not be able to look after another life at this tender age. Throughout the world, pregnancy & child bearing are occurring at younger ages than in the past; resulting in adverse health, demographic & social consequences. Adolescent child bearing is usually inconsistent with main stream societal demands for attaining adulthood through education, work experience & financial stability. Adolescent pregnancy is a complex issue affecting families, health care professionals, educators & youth themselves. In this article, effect of adolescent pregnancy on maternal, neonatal & child health is analysed. Recent data is provided on adolescent sexuality, contraceptive use, childbearing as well as prevention in communities & clinical practice. 

Keywords: Adolescent pregnancy; Consequences; Prevention; Antenatal care; Prevention; Nutrition.
