Abstract

73 gravida I adolescent mothers and 93 gravida III adolescent mothers of low socio-economic status were compared to verify that a higher rate of fetal loss exists with parity. Gravida III adolescent mothers had only a 45 % chance of having all three children living compared to the 95% of gravida I adolescent mothers. Moreover, gravida III adolescent mothers used prenatal care and preventive health programs less frequently than their gravida I counterparts. Most problems with babies also occurred more frequently with gravida III young women.
