Adolescent girls face a number of sexual and reproductive health challenges: STIs, HIV, and pregnancy. According to the WHO figures, about 13 million adolescent girls (under 20) give birth every year. Complications from those pregnancies and childbirth are a leading cause of death for those young mothers.
Contact your nearest primary health care physician once you discover you are pregnant in order to enroll for antenatal classes and get adequate care throughout your pregnancy.
