what can go wrong in labour and delievery when your 14?Can it harm the baby?

Answer 1

100+ years ago lots of girls your age were having babies. The biggest danger is that you are eating properly because you are still growing, just like baby is. And your body may not be fully developed yet. But most 14 y/o girls have wide enough pelvises and mature breasts to give birth.

I'd rather have a 14 y/o mom in labor than a 40 y/o mom. I see too many of those nowadays and they generally have a lot more problems.

Be sure to have a good support system, go to all your doctor appts, get lots of sleep and eat good food, take prenatal vitamins.

Answer 2

I don't think that things will necessarily go wrong because being young may have it's advantages, I think the only thing to worry about would be that you have enough emotional support because your still so young. This is a big responsibility and you'll need all the positive support you can get. Good on you for being so brave.

Answer 3

I think that is probably something you should discuss with your doctor if your expecting!!!! I had a friend that had a baby at 14 (10 years ago) and her labour was normal and baby was healthy!!!!

Answer 4

anything and everything. trouble is, at such a young age, your body isnt as ready for childbearing so the baby and you both have higher risk of birth difficulties such as still-born, SIDS, birth defects, etc. good luck(if you are the one pregnant) you are going to need it. oh and just because it can happen, doesnt mean it will.

Answer 5

Yes. The younger you are, the more likely it is that the mother AND the baby will be in danger.
