Answer to Question 1

The complex social, emotional, and physical factors involved make teen pregnancy one of the most challenging situations for nutrition counseling. Medical and nutritional risks are particularly high when the teenager is within 2 years of menarche. Risks include higher rates of PIH, iron-deficiency anemia, premature birth, stillbirths, LBW infants, and prolonged labor in pregnant teens. The increased energy and nutrient demands of pregnancy place adolescent girls, who are already at risk for nutritional problems, at even greater risk. Those who gain between 30 and 35 pounds during pregnancy have lower risks of delivering LBW infants. Adequate nutrition can substantially improve the course and outcome of adolescent pregnancy.
