Title: Teen Pregnancy - Made Easier Through The Right Guidance


1
Teen Pregnancy - Made Easier Through The Right
Guidance
  • By Anupriya Jain

  • Pregnancy is a course of rebirth for every woman
    as she comes a full circle of life at this point.
    She is giving birth to a new body and soul. Teen
    pregnancy especially needs the right guidance.
    The kind of life and diet you lead defines the
    health and life of your baby during the pregnancy
    period.

Whom To Contact During Teen Pregnancy?
  • Constant pre-natal care from your doctor,
    nutrition experts and clinic as well as family
    and friends is one of the basic things to be
    followed. Drinking and smoking should be avoided
    at all costs as it causes irreparable damage to
    the little one inside. Drugs prescribed by the
    doctor are the only ones to be taken. A balanced
    and nutritional diet should be top priority.
    Teenage pregnancies are always laden with the
    risks of going back to drugs, smoking as a
    result the babies develop immature
    organs/systems, even retardation in many cases
    and the most dominant, early death during infancy.

Correct Nutrition and Medication during Teen
Pregnancy
  • Since, a teenager's body is still growing, it is
    necessary to eat the right amount of pregnancy
    diet that is essential for you as well as your
    baby. Correct composition of vitamins and
    minerals are required mainly in case of a teen
    pregnancy. It is normal to gain 25-30 pounds
    during pregnancy and the minimum intake of
    calories per day should be no less than
    300.Gaining weight is much more important if you
    want to breastfeed the child. Never skip meals
    and avoid junk food as much as possible. If you
    cannot afford nutritious food, inform your health
    care providers and ask them for advice and they
    will enroll you into the Women, Infant, and
    Children (WIC) program.

LOVE AND CARE MOST REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH TEEN
PREGNANCY
  • The prevalence of teenage pregnancy is the
    highest in the U.S and most of such pregnancies
    end up in premature deliveries or abortions. Most
    of them are unintended. No strenuous exercises
    should be done during this period, but a brisk
    walk for 15-20 minutes or a game of basketball
    would be fine. The main cause of teenage
    pregnancy is the lack of knowledge and awareness.
    Every parent should discuss the pros and cons of
    having teenage pregnancies.
