Potentially deadly: Early teen pregnancy is considered high risk.Though some fly through it fine, others face the higher risk of preeclampsia, a condition of where the blood pressure goes up, the kidneys start to malfunction and seizures may occur. If/when this occurs, good prenatal care can be lifesaving for mother and child.

Possibly deadly: If things go smoothly the duration of 1st labor would average ~12 hours, depending on the patients ability to concentrate & help push baby out. There is pain. Typical anesthetics (epidural) cannot be given before baby is far enough down or it can stop labor. Early teens often develop high blood pressure which can kill mom & baby if not controlled.When your body is not finished growing, it pbs happen.
