Early Pregnancy Risks
Mon, 30 Nov 2020
Pregnancy is a gift that every married woman eagerly awaits, but what about pregnancy at a young age? Generally, getting pregnant at an early age can be considered dangerous if you are under 20 years of age.
WHO data reveal that around 16 million women aged 15-19 years give birth to children each year or 11% of all births globally. High number with high risks too.
Even though you feel ready to get pregnant at the young age, it should be noted that getting pregnant at a young age has
a lot of risk. These various risks will certainly affect the health of pregnant women and the fetus.
Quoting Healthline.com, pregnancy in adolescence has a higher risk to suffer from anemia or a decrease in the number of red blood cells. This condition ultimately causing pregnant women feel tired quickly, thus it may affect fetal development. Another risk is giving birth to a premature baby.
If a healthy pregnancy generally lasts for 40 weeks, it is common for pregnancy at a young age lasts only for 37 weeks or less.
As a result, the growth and development of the brain, physique and fetal organs are yet developed. In fact, the long-term effects of preterm birth, which will make the baby experience health problems and developmental problems throughout its life.
Dr. dr. Ali Sungkar, SpOG (K) said naturally the reproductive system of women aged 15-20 is "ready", means that women who are already menstruating can become pregnant. However, there is "prime time" to get pregnant, which is 25 to 35 years of age. The reason is that 25-35 years old is the age of “mature” for women, both physically and mentally. Women between these ages also have better emotional maturity, which reduces the risk of stress that can occur during pregnancy.
