Abstract
The obstetric performance of 105 primigravidae aged 16 or under who received inadequate antenatal care was compared with that of 95 primigravidae of the same age who had adequate antenatal care and with 100 primigravidae aged 22 years who also had adequate antenatal care. The increased incidence of pre-eclampsia and babies weighing under 2-5 kg. in teenage pregnancy was confirmed. The effects of both hazards were diminished by good antenatal care.Keywords
