The experience of: Childbirth is variable among women. However, in general - it can be exhausting and painful. A 14 year old is a child. And although the physical aspects of childbirth are also demanding on a fourteen year old - it is likely to be even more challenging emotionally. Children of this age are usually not emotionally equipped to take on the role of a parent.

Varies/mostly bad: I recall being called in for an emergency C-section on one.High blood pressure/seizures led to premi delivery.Baby and mom spent a week in the hospital. Develop a good relationship with the delivery team and follow their advise. Hopefully the process will go well,but kids that age have a significant risk for various medical/emotional complications.
