Teenage Pregnacy

Kids having kids

Most teenage girls don’t plan to get pregnant, but many do.
Evidence suggests that approximately 14 in every 1,000 underage Malaysian girls, or 18,000
overall, become pregnant each year. The Malaysia Welfare Department reported that
approximately 111 unmarried young girls were pregnant and that the recorded rate was 6 births
per 1000 women aged 15-19 years.
Why is teen pregnancy a problem?
Teen pregnancies carry extra health risks to both the mother and the baby. Risks for the baby
include premature birth and a low birth weight.
