Is it safe for a 16 year old to have a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DEPENDS: The safety of a pregnancy at any age depends on the baseline health of the patient. If healthy in general, a 16 yo is able to have a healthy pregnancy.Statistically, she is more likely to not finish high school,end up in poverty and on public assistance, and have a child that grows up to do the same thing.
