title: [Pregnancy and delivery in adolescents. Apropos of 112 case reports].
abstract: The authors studied the course of pregnancy in 112 adolescents under the age of 15 years 3 months seen over the last decade. 10% of pregnancies were marked by anaemia, 23% by excessive weight gain and 20% by toxaemia of pregnancy. Although the delivery is often premature, it is usually simple, with rapid labour and expulsion. Forceps were required in 8% of cases and the ventouse was used in 11% of cases. Epidural anaesthesia was performed in 50% of deliveries. Despite an almost normal pregnancy and a eutocic delivery, 21% of babies presented a malformation.
