Abstract
We performed a prospective descriptive study with the aim of contributing to the knowledge of perinatal behavior in teenage pregnancy in the Core Workgroup of the teaching polyclinic No. 3 "José Martí Pérez" in Gibara. The sample consisted of 31 pregnant adolescents. We analyzed a series of variables such as age, occupation, educational level, body mass index, weight gain, type of delivery and perinatal complications. All the teenagers filled a survey which later were organized and processed, and treated with descriptive statistics tools such as percentage analysis descriptive statistics, arithmetic mean and standard deviation.
Pregnancy prevailed between the ages of 18 and 19 years, 74,1% were housewives with 90.3% average cultural level, 74,2% a stable relationship, 64,5% had an adequate weight gain, 83,8% of infants were born between 37 and 40 weeks of gestation. 19,3% of them had a dystocia cesarean and acute fetal distress was the leading cause of cesarean delivery. The main causes of neonatal morbidity were connatal (9,6%), neonatal hypoxia (12,9%). The most frequent pathologies were: gestational hypertensive disease (12,9%), and anemia (16,1%).
