The realities of a teen pregnancy
Many relationships end during pregnancy or after the baby is born.
Many young parents and children live in poverty.
Babies are expensive. Costs can add up to over $10,000 in the first year alone.
Drinking any amount of alcohol during pregnancy, even before a pregnancy
test is positive, can have serious effects on a fetus, such as brain damage and
physical anomalies. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is preventable.
