Aim & Objectives: To assess maternal outcome during pregnancy and labour in Teenage Pregnancies. Material & Methods: All the primigravida teenage patients were included in study until we got 100 cases. For comparative study we took 100 cases of adult pregnancy by random selection. All patients were managed according to the department protocol and followed up clinically until they are discharged. Results: The study shows that majority of cases (70%) of teenage mothers were illiterate as compared to adult mothers in which 25% were illiterate and shows that antepartum & postpartum complications were much higher in teenage mothers as compared to adult mothers.
