6. Ang teenage pregnancy ay ang
pagbubuntis ng isang babae sa
edad 12 hanggang 19 taong
gulang.
Teenage Pregnancy

7. • All throughout adolescence, a girl’s body continues to change and
grow. Peak bone mass has not yet been reached. Her full height may
not have been attained and is more likely to be underweight. Thus,
pregnant teenagers have high needs for energy and nutrients to
maintain her continuing growth and that of the developing fetus.

8. • The UNFPA 2011 Annual Report noted a pregnancy rate of 53 out of
1000 Filipino women aged 15-19. Government statistics showed a
70% rise in teenage pregnancy from 1999-2009. This increase in
teenage pregnancy is one of the contributing factors to the country’s
high maternal and infant death rates.

9. A pregnant adolescent has increased nutrient needs to support
her own growth and that of the developing fetus. Compared to
adult women, pregnant adolescents are at higher risk.
These risks include:
1. having infants with low birth weight
2. cesarean delivery
3. perinatal death or death during child birth
4. delivering infants with head too large for birth canal
5. inadequate maternal weight gain
5. iron deficiency anemia

10. These poor outcomes in pregnant teenagers are due to biological or
physical immaturity and lifestyle factors such as smoking, drug use, and
poor dietary intakes.
Teenagers who are undernourished when they become pregnant
compete with the growing fetus for the limited calories and nutrients.

11. Nutrient Needs
of Pregnant
Teenagers

12. Adequate energy is a primary dietary requirement of pregnancy. If
energy needs are not met, available protein, vitamins and minerals
cannot be used effectively.
Since energy needs change with growth status, physical activity, body
composition, pre-pregnancy weight, and stage of pregnancy, the best
assurance of adequate energy intake is a satisfactory weight gain.
Additional energy intake is needed by teenagers who begin
pregnancy underweight, are still growing, or are physically active.
1. ENERGY (CALORIES)

14. 2. CARBOHYDRATES
Most of the calories eaten during pregnancy should come from
carbohydrate - containing foods such as cereals, fruits, and
vegetables.
Fiber can help prevent constipation and hemorrhoids which often
occur during pregnancy. Fiber is present in whole grains, fruits,
vegetables, legumes, and nuts.
An increase in fiber intake should be accompanied by an increased
fluid intake.

17. 3. PROTEIN
Protein needs are increased. Adequate protein intake is needed to support
continued growth and development in both the fetus and the pregnant teenager.
Factors that may increase the risk for inadequate protein intake include:
*low socioeconomic status (since protein-rich foods tend to be costly)
*low energy intake
*exclusion of all animal products such as eggs, dairy products, and
meats
About 2/3 of total protein should be of high biologic quality, such as eggs, milk,
meat, or other animal sources.

19. 4. FAT
 Fat is an important nutrient that provides essential fatty acids
necessary for the development of fetal brain and central nervous
tissues.
Fat is also needed to transport fat-soluble vitamins and is a
concentrated source of calories which helps in meeting the energy
needs of pregnancy.

20. 5. FLUIDS
Water helps the body maintain proper temperature, transports nutrients
and waste products, moistens the digestive tract and tissues, and cushions
and protects the developing fetus.
Intake of fluids increases because of increased blood volume. At least 8
glasses of non-caffeinated fluids should be consumed each day.
Water is best to consume while milk, juice and herbal tea can contribute to
fluid needs.
Caffeinated beverages increase urinary output and should be consumed in
limited amounts.

21. 6. IRON
Iron deficiency is a common nutritional problem among pregnant and non-
pregnant adolescents.
Iron deficiency anemia during the first 2 trimesters is associated with an
increased risk for preterm delivery and delivering a low birth weight baby.
Increased iron is needed due to the expansion of maternal plasma volume and
growth of the fetus and placenta.
The best sources of iron are meats, dried beans, dark green leafy vegetables,
whole grain, or enriched breads and fortified cereals. Iron from animal sources is
better absorbed than iron from plant sources.

28. 7. CALCIUM
An adequate intake of calcium is important since pregnant
adolescents are still increasing their bone mass.
Rich food sources of calcium are dairy products like milk, cheese and
yogurt. Small fishes like “dilis”, “alamang”, and sardines are high in
calcium.

37. 8. FOLATE
Folate is important in nucleic acid synthesis. It is needed in greater amounts due
to maternal and fetal tissue growth and red blood cell formation.
There is a poor intake of folate among teenagers who skip breakfast or those
with limited intakes of fruits and vegetables. Folate deficiency during pregnancy
can result in intrauterine growth retardation, congenital anomalies, or
spontaneous abortion.
Folate supplementation protects against neural tube defects.
Food sources include enriched bread and rice. Dried beans, peanuts, oranges,
leafy green vegetables, okra are also good sources.

46. Key Learning Points
1. Female teenagers generally have poor feeding habits and
lifestyles (alcohol and drug use, smoking, poor dietary intakes) that can
contribute to complications during her pregnancy resulting in poor
pregnancy outcomes.
2. A pregnant teenager requires additional energy and nutrients
to support her own growth and that of the developing fetus.

47. Questions:
1. Enumerate the nutrition-related problems and disorders
experienced by teenagers.
2. Explain the increased nutrient needs of pregnant teenagers.
