Pregnancy Info HOME

Danny-I am a nurse who has worked in labor and delivery. Your girlfriend is not the first 14 year old to have a baby, and I am willing to bet she will be fine. It is a little concerning that you planned a pregnancy with her being that young. I am afraid it will be a lot harder than you expected. I only hope you stick by this girl for the long run. I know you will say now that you will, of course, but life happens, and your child will always need a dad. That being said, she will be fine as long as her body is mature enough for a vaginal delivery. She needs to make sure she gets adequate prenatal care throughout the entire pregnancy. If a young girl is too small in size, a vaginal delivery isn't always possible, or pushing can be prolonged at times with extensive tearing or episiotomy required. The size of the baby should be monitored to make sure it does not become to large for her pelvic opening to accomidate. All things her doctor should already be aware of. Good Luck!
