A review of the literature on teenage pregnancy is done to assess the impact of teenage pregnancy on the health of adolescent mothers and the impact on the health of babies, depending upon which some measures can be improvised in the health care delivery system in a coordinated manner with other government stakeholders to prevent teenage marriage and teenage pregnancy. A literature review is adopted as the methodology for this study. The articles are included depending on inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the relevance. The main findings reveal that anemia is very common in teenage pregnancy, adolescent pregnant women are more prone to PROM & higher incidence of preterm labor, <br>pre-eclampsia & cephalopelvic disproportion, and increased rate of LUCS. The most common adverse outcomes noted in babies of teenage pregnancy are the incidence of low birth weight, birth-asphyxia, fetal distress, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. To prevent teenage pregnancy, there is a need to make awareness against teenage marriage in the community and promote the use of contraceptives among married adolescents and the availability of family planning methods widely at the community. Promotion for generating awareness regarding comprehensive reproductive health, available health care services, and adequate counseling may minimize the teenage pregnancy.</p> <p>How to cite this article:<br>Maity S, Mani S, M Prakasamma.
