Abstract
Planned teenage parenthood or ambivalence towards parenthood is an aspect of teenage pregnancy that is largely ignored in academia, politics and nursing. This article seeks to highlight the existence of young people with pregnancy intention and potential barriers that may prevent these young people from being identified in practice. Reference is made to Solent Healthcare's pilot of a brief intervention tool that targets young people with pregnancy intention. The social context of teenage pregnancy is explored, as this may influence school nurses’ attitudes to teenage pregnancy. School nurses are encouraged to critically reflect on their perceptions of teenage parenting.
