[Pregnancy in adolescence (author's transl)].

Pregnant women and maternity patients up to 20 years of age not only have a lower level of education but also neurotic personality traits three times more frequently than pregnant women over the age of 21. This affects the attitude to pregnancy which, in women up to 20 years was a surprise and unwanted twice as often as in women aged from 21 to 30. After the birth women up to 20 years of age wanted to leave the hospital particularly early. Almost half of them wanted to begin work again.
