Teen Pregnancy Rates in the USA by Victor C. Strasburger, MD University of New Mexico School of Medicine Victor C. Strasburger, MD University of New Mexico School of Medicine Fact One million teens in the USA will become pregnant over the next twelve months. Ninety-five percent of those pregnancies are unintended. About one third will end in abortion; one third will end in spontaneous miscarriage; and one third will continue their pregnancy to term and keep their baby. More than half of them are 17 years old or younger when they have their first pregnancy. Approximately 40 percent of young women become pregnant before they reach 20 years old. The United States of America has double the adolescent pregnancy and birth rates of any other industrialized country. The poorer the young woman, the more likely she will become a mother.

Teenage Pregnancy How to tell if you're pregnant? Symptoms of Pregnancy... You may be pregnant if you have had sexual intercourse and you have symptoms of pregnancy: A missed period (if your periods are usually regular). A short, scant period. Breasts that are sore, tender or swollen. You feel sick to your stomach, or you are vomiting. Fatigue feeling more tired than usual. You need to urinate more often than usual. Mood swings These symptoms don't usually occur until you have missed your period for about 2 weeks, but this varies from woman to woman, symptoms can occur earlier for some women (sometimes a week after a missed period). If you have missed your period, but have not yet taken a pregnancy test, don't assume you're pregnant.

@import url(http://www.homestead.com/~media/elements/Text/font_styles.css); What Exactly is "Spiritual Birth Counseling" ? In the eyes and hearts of most people, a newborn baby is a precious and magical gift. The creation of this tiny wonder is also an incredible miracle which comes complete with excitement, awe, and much curiosity. Understanding the changes in a woman's body as her child grows inside her, as well as understanding the psychological, physical, and spiritual development of her newly forming little one, bring the relaxation and strength necessary to alleviate anxiety, fear, confusion, and pain felt often during the prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum times. Spiritual Birth Counseling is knowledge, support, therapy, and emotional care for the woman wanting to be a mother, the mother-to-be, and the new mother. Pregnancy is a time of joy and magic. The development and birth of a baby creates a passageway into an entire new sense of being and a new stage of life for a woman. Becoming a mother envelopes a sense of creation, maturity, growth, love, and wonder, which should all be understood and celebrated. Spiritual Birth Counseling touches tenderly upon each of these aspects of pregnancy. Magic In many nature-based religions, going from Maiden to Mother is an important and highly symbolic stage, which dates back to a significant and celebrated event since medieval times. The "Mother" stage carries the responsibility of teaching and caring for a child, as well as providing and receiving love and happiness, as a powerful bond is created between mother and child.

cddcodebase = "/";cddcodebase454632 = "/"; HELP Send to a Friend <% dim printurl printurl = Request.ServerVariables("URL")%> Print Version September 20, 2002, 9:00 a.m. Let’s Have More Teen Pregnancy It’s not a problem. By Frederica Mathewes-Green rue Love Waits. Wait Training. Worth Waiting For. The slogans of teen abstinence programs reveal a basic fact of human nature: teens, sex, and waiting aren't a natural combination. Over the last 50 years the wait has gotten longer. In 1950, the average first-time bride was just over 20; in 1998 she was five years older, and her husband was pushing 27. If that June groom had launched into puberty at 12, he'd been waiting more than half his life. If he had been waiting, that is. Sex is the sugar coating on the drive to reproduce, and that drive is nearly overwhelming. It's supposed to be; it's the survival engine of the human race. Fighting it means fighting a basic bodily instinct, akin to fighting thirst. Younger moms and dads are likely be more nimble at child-rearing as well, less apt to be exhausted by toddlers' perpetual motion, less creaky-in-the-joints when it's time to swing from the monkey bars. I suspect that younger parents will also be more patient with boys-will-be-boys rambunction, and less likely than weary 40-somethings to beg pediatricians for drugs to control supposed pathology. Humans are designed to reproduce in their teens, and they're potentially very good at it. That's why they want to so much.
