The adolescent birth rate is high, at 94 per 1,000 girls aged 15-19 (2003-2018). A 2017 report by the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) listed Lesotho among the leading countries on early and unintended pregnancies.<\/p>\n<p>Six out of 10 girls (60 per cent) aged 15 to 19 are mothers or pregnant with their first child, which places Lesotho second to Namibia (seven out of 10 girls) for high rates of unintended pregnancies among the East and Southern African countries, the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>Because their bodies are not yet fully developed, pregnant adolescent girls are at greater risk of complications such as cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD), which leads to difficulties in the unborn baby descending.<\/p>\n<p>This usually means a Caesarean section is necessary, explains Ms. Stoffel. Often, pregnant teenagers are not able to follow birthing instructions due to lowered understanding, she says.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a young mother may start pushing the baby out before their cervix is sufficiently dilated, causing a cervical tear. Most of them come late for ANC services because they are afraid of coming without informing their parents.<\/p>\n<p>When stigma impacts access to critical services<br \/>\nUnfortunately, pregnant teenagers do not always seek adequate antenatal care services due to the challenges and stigma that they face, says Ms.<\/p>\n<p>Mabusa. \u201cMost of them come late for ANC [services] because they are afraid of coming without informing [their] parents. Sometimes they do not have transport to the facility, or they are afraid of their peers knowing that they are pregnant,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Some adolescent girls hide their pregnancies because they do not want to miss any classes at school. \u201cMost of them have pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), which is rife among the teenagers.<\/p>\n<p>Others end up with miscarriages mainly due to excessive stress, often caused by embarrassment and fear,\u201d Ms. Mabusa says. Health risks for young mothers and babies<br \/>\nEarly childbearing is associated with health risks for both mother and child.<\/p>\n<p>Teenage mothers are more likely to experience pregnancy-related complications that lead to maternal death. In Lesotho, the maternal mortality ratio is high, at 618 deaths per 100,000 live births (Census 2016).<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that women in Lesotho mostly die of obstetric haemorrhage (33 per cent), hypertension-related conditions (24 per cent) and puerperal sepsis (6 per cent).<\/p>\n<p>Out of concern for the high rate of maternal deaths, UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, supports the Government of Lesotho\u2019s efforts to increase access to quality sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services that are integrated and youth friendly.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of these efforts is to prevent maternal mortality, reduce new HIV infections and eliminate gender-based violence and harmful practices. UNFPA also leads on implementation of the 2gether 4 SRH joint programme, in collaboration with UNAIDS, UNICEF and WHO, to scale up SRHR, HIV and sexual and gender-based violence services for all, especially adolescent girls, young people and key populations. The programme provides catalytic support to the government, civil society and communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
