Recent research has suggested that effective prenatal care is significantly related to positive outcomes for the teen mother and her infant. One aspect of prenatal care is the efforts of the pregnant teen to care for herself, often called self-care practices. The purpose of this article is to compare the self-reported self-care activities of pregnant teenagers who sought prenatal care during the first trimester of their pregnancies with those of pregnant teens who delayed prenatal care until the third trimester. The subjects were adolescent girls who were enrolled in prenatal care programs or who had recently delivered in Florida. Interview analysis suggested that both groups had an adequate knowledge level regarding diet, exercise, and other topics related to self-care during pregnancy. Although pregnant teens practice similar self-care behaviors regardless of when they enter prenatal care, there are many problems that may lead to poor pregnancy outcomes and can remain undetected when prenatal care is delayed.
近期研究表明，有效的产前护理与青少年母亲及其婴儿的良好结局显著相关。产前护理的一个方面是怀孕青少年照顾自己的努力，这通常被称为自我护理行为。本文的目的是比较在怀孕头三个月寻求产前护理的怀孕青少年与将产前护理推迟到怀孕晚期的怀孕青少年自我报告的自我护理活动。研究对象是参加产前护理项目或最近在佛罗里达州分娩的青春期女孩。访谈分析表明，两组在饮食、运动和其他与孕期自我护理相关的话题上都有足够的知识水平。尽管怀孕青少年无论何时开始接受产前护理都会采取类似的自我护理行为，但仍有许多问题可能导致不良妊娠结局，并且在产前护理延迟时可能未被发现。
