years) in Egypt (was 50 births for every 1000 women. It carries a high risk for both the
mother and infant and associated with maternal complications, low birth weight, perinatal
mortality and increased infant mortality especially in developing countries like Egypt.

risk of unfavorable pregnancy outcome. To compare pregnancy outcome of adolescent
pregnancy (15-19years old) with young adult (20-29 years old) pregnancy. Method: A
descriptive comparative hospital-based study is analyzing pregnancy and delivery outcomes
of a teenage group 15-19 years compared with an adult group 20–29 years of age in Minia
university hospitals Minia governorate. it was held from January 2017 to June 2017. Results:
Teenage is associated with preterm birth <37 weeks (14.4%), low birth weight (12%),
stillbirth (2.4%) and antepartum hemorrhage (14.4%), cesarean section was done for (44.8%)
