Teenage Obstetrics in Bristol

چکیده
this proportion will continue to increase. Recent papers on pregnancy and labour in this group of women have emphasized the higher incidence of anaemia, pre-eclampsia, premature and prolonged labour and puerperal pyrexia, when compared with older primigravidae. Additionally, cephalo-pelvic disproportion was said to occur commonly and to be responsible for a high operative delivery rate.1,4i 68> 9-10 Some of the papers dealt with American patients in widely varying social classes, and as has been pointed out by Baird,2 this fact must be taken into account when analysing obstetric performance. Because a contrary impression was gained in looking after teenage mothers in Bristol, it was decided to review the first pregnancy occurring in girls aged sixteen and under during the five year period 1957 to 1962 in the Bristol Hospitals Clinical area. It must be emphasized that the findings relate to hospital delivery only.
