Characteristics of the Mother and Child in Teenage Pregnancy.
Garn, Stanley M.; Petzold, Audrey S.
American Journal of Diseases of Children, v137 n4 p365-68 Apr 1983
Data from nearly 30,000 pregnant and third decade (20-29 years) mothers show that small infant size among teenage mothers is consistent with the mother's size and not directly related to early age at conception. Third decade mothers of comparable size give birth to infants with essentially the same characteristics and problems. (Author/GC)
