It is scary to think that girls as young as 13 are having their first consensual sex,and the resulting teenage pregnancies are equally alarming.I was classed as an "At Risk" mother because I had my first child at 30,obviously over the hill!But I was asked several times by the medical profession "are you sure this is your first?"Virtually all the ladies on the labour wards were a good deal younger than me;and the majority were into second or even third pregnancies!I wonder if the sex education our children get at school warns them of the emotional,physical,mental and economic effects of teenage pregnancies. It was very basic education when I was at school,would be interested to see how much it's progessed[!]
