Prenatal Care

Maternal Health For Teenage Mothers Is Crucial During Pregnancy, Childbirth, And The Postnatal Period. At The Healthy Teenage Moms Foundation, We Believe Each Stage Should Be A Positive Experience, Allowing Both Mother And Child To Thrive And Reach Their Full Potential For Health And Well-Being. 

Despite significant progress over the past two decades, an estimated 287,000 women tragically lost their lives during and after pregnancy and childbirth in 2020. This number is unacceptably high, and teenage mothers are particularly vulnerable.
Common direct causes of maternal injury and death include excessive blood loss, infection, high blood pressure, unsafe abortion, and obstructed labor. Indirect causes such as anemia, malaria, and heart disease also pose significant risks. Many of these complications are preventable with timely intervention by skilled healthcare professionals working in supportive environments.
Eliminating preventable maternal death must remain a global priority. However, survival alone should not define successful maternal healthcare. It is imperative to expand efforts in reducing maternal injury, disability, and complications while promoting overall health and well-being.
Every pregnancy and birth is unique, and individualized care is essential. Addressing inequalities that affect health outcomes, particularly sexual and reproductive health and rights, and gender disparities, is crucial to ensure all teenage mothers have access to respectful, high-quality maternity care.
At Healthy Teenage Moms Foundation, we are dedicated to providing education, resources, and support to empower teenage mothers and improve their maternal health outcomes. Together, we can create a brighter future for young mothers and their children.
