All patients were managed according to the department protocol and followed up clinically until they are discharged.
Results: The study shows that majority of cases (70%) of teenage mothers were illiterate as compared to adult mothers in which 25% were illiterate and shows that antepartum & postpartum complications were much higher in teenage mothers as compared to adult mothers.
