Women who drink also are more likely to have a miscarriage or stillbirth. Some of the research shows that there is no safe amount of alcohol to drink while pregnant. According to one study supported by the NIH, infants can suffer long-term developmental problems even with low levels of prenatal alcohol exposure.

Age

Young age. Pregnant teens are more likely to develop pregnancy-related high blood pressure and anemia (lack of healthy red blood cells) and to go through preterm (early) labor and delivery than women who are older. Teens are also more likely to not know they have a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Some STIs can cause problems with the pregnancy or for the baby. Teens may be less likely to get prenatal care or to keep prenatal appointments. Prenatal care is important because it allows a healthcare provider to evaluate, identify, and treat risks, such as counseling teens not to take certain medications during pregnancy, sometimes before these risks become problems.
