13 year old pregnancy medical implications?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Teenage pregnancy: Any teenage pregnancy especially 13 years old is considered high risk pregnancy and needs more intense prenatal care as there can be complications like premature birth and others.

See below: Very young mothers have a higher incidence of fetal mortality, prematurity, lower birth weight, and higher neonatal deaths than older mothers. This is in part due to poor prenatal care, but is also though to be due to biological immaturity of the mother. Please discuss the care of this teenager with your local pediatrician.
