which kind of complicities does having a baby meanwhile being s teenager can bring?
Having a baby when the mother is still developing it self (teenager), can be very challenging in emotionally and physically aspects. When a couple decides to have a baby for first time, things are well planed and the parents are mature enough to receive and maintain a baby, but when a teenage pregnancy is presented, many social, political and economical issues are presented to their parents. In the other hand, science have created scientific advances where products are created in such form that the teen couple can prevent them selves from having a baby and changing their lives. Having a baby while being a teenage brings difficulties to the baby meanwhile he is developing inside the mother's belly and after the kids is born. Also difficulties inside the mother's organism because the body of a teenage mother is not completely develop and prepared to have a baby. Further than having and suffering from implications, there will exist a lot of necessities that the baby and the mother will have before and after the birth. It is statistically proven that not all the teenage couples were planning having a baby by having sex, also it is important to promote the idea that there exist more negative aspects by having a baby meanwhile the parents are still teenagers than positive aspects.
One of the most dangerous complications that a teenage pregnancy will bring to the family, is the health of the mother and the baby. As the scientist Mikio A. says on his article written on July 07, 2012, what really happens to teenage mothers which can bring dangerous complications, is that they are less likely to gain adequate weight during their pregnancy in comparison with mature ladies, leading as a result to a low birthweight. Low birthweight is the answer of why many kids that have teenage parents, presents mayor problems such like to have organs that are not fully developed, which can bring mayor complications when the kid is older, such as bleeding in the brain, respiratory distress syndrome, and intestinal problems. There is a study, made by Nihira, D on July 07, 2012, which demonstrate that teenage mothers have a higher rate of poor eating habits than older women and are less likely to take good and proper nutrition habits during pregnancy which is vital in order for the baby to develop well. Teens also are more likely to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, or take drugs during pregnancy, which can cause health problems for the baby. Teenagers are not capable enough to understand the complicities for having a baby, this is why, science have developed "tools" for the teenagers to have sex on a safe form. Condoms and anti-conceptive pills are mostly useful and in most of the cases are helpful to avoid gaining diseases. This inventions which science have created, generates a big impact on the society in such a way that for example, teenagers that will be more aware of the risk of having a baby or gaining a disease, will use a condom or anti conceptive pills in order to avoid problems.
Continuously with the previous idea, scientist are aware of how difficult or how hard is to cure one type of STD, this is why the idea of using and generating consciousness of using condoms is patronized in many public parts. When a baby is born the mother and the father will have to change drastically their life style. Some teen parents have to abandon their studies and gain a no sustainable job in order to satisfy the baby necessities, much as food, cloth, medical exams, vaccines, and many other necessities that babies need to have in order to have a good development. In Colombia, as a article retrieved from the magazine called "fucsia" having a baby in Colombia can coast between 7'000'000 million pesos. Considering that this is really big amount of money, the mayor complication about it is that the teenagers will not be able to afford it because they do not have a sustainable job in which they can obtain the money to raise the kids, in the other hand, not all the parents are supportive with the teenagers and refuse to give economical support for the baby. In the other hand, mom have necessities as well, for example, meanwhile the baby is inside her, she needs to make expensive tests, with doctors in order to determine her body is doing and the baby as well. At the same time, teenagers that have babies, have priorities, such as studying and going into college, but with the baby, this necessities will be affected. And science by creating the machines that helps monitoring the mother's contractions and the baby, have had make the life of the mother easier and helping her for not being stressed that can damage the baby.
According to the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, which makes the survey based on pregnant teenagers under the age of 20. The top five countries in which teen pregnancy occurs, is in The United States, Poland, Germany, united Kingdom and Hungary on its respective order. Colombia is far away this survey, Colombian teenagers does not suffer from this type of situation for several type of reasons. One of the mostly considerable answers of why in Colombia exist a low rate of pregnant teenagers is because, science have had invested wisely on giving them sexual education classes of what could happen if a couple have sex without using any kind of protection.
Finally, there are three main implications that affects the pregnant mom and dad. The first one is the social, this phase on the life of humans is very difficult, and what makes it difficult is the people that surrounds it. If a girl gets pregnant in the school, she would gain a bad reputation which could let her down and provoke anxiously and depression. Also her image would damage in-between the society causing her to feel insecure about her actions, but what really matters is that the opinion from the rest of the society affects deeply on teens. The second one is religious. In some cultures from the middle east, having a kid is complicated, and even more when the mom its still a teen. Religions like muslims, forbidden the sex until the woman is married, if not, the mom could be punished, as it clearly shows lack of respect towards the society. And thirdly the ethics. It is not common to see a girl with a baby inside her belly, but ethically, in most of the cases it is not appropriate for a girl to have sex when she is still to young for it and have more important commitments to her self that watching out for a kid.
