About 16 million women, 15–19 years old give birth each year amounting to 11% of all births worldwide. In developed countries majority of teenage pregnancies occur to unmarried girls unlike developing countries. In India, teenage pregnancies are observed at a higher rate due to early marriage. Aims & objectives: Study the incidence of Teenage Pregnancies (TP) in our institute, quantify the Incidence of maternal medical and obstetric complications in TP, enumerate the fetal complications in TP Methods & Materials: A retrospective observational study from the deliveries conducted in our institute between Sep’2015 and Nov’2016 were analyzed and evaluated Results and conclusions: TP accounts to 24.7%of total deliveries observed between Sep 2015 and Nov 2016.Teenage pregnancies are associated with more incidence of abortions (10%), medical complications like HTN, pre Eclampsia, hypothyroidism, DM (9%), increased risk of anemia (30%), assisted vaginal deliveries (13%) and increased LSCS rates (27%) Risk of preterm delivery were identified to be similar in both groups.
