00:00Yanyan was just about to finish her 6th grade when her mother found out that her daughter was pregnant.
00:11She didn't care. She was worried that she might get pregnant.
00:16Because she's a big girl.
00:19Her sister asked her, but I didn't know.
00:22They just told her that they were coming home from Cavite.
00:27Yanyan didn't immediately confess to her mother-in-law, Lorna.
00:31She's my sister-in-law's sister.
00:34She told my mother that I was pregnant.
00:38She was also pregnant.
00:42Lorna added that she only saw Yanyan's boyfriend once, so even if it was them, it wasn't a complete acquaintance.
00:50She introduced me to him. They came from the same school.
00:54It was painful. He was already there. It was already late at night.
00:59And what's more painful was that Yanyan's boyfriend went missing.
01:05He didn't show up. He moved to another house.
01:09He was already black.
01:11We didn't want to chase him. If we could take care of the child, we would have bought a woman.
01:18Even though it was difficult for Lorna to take care of her child, she said that she wouldn't leave Yanyan and his child.
01:28Throughout Yanyan's pregnancy, she only went to the health center twice.
01:35They said it was good and the check-up was free at the Rural Health Center.
01:39Yanyan was seven months pregnant.
01:43That's why it was good for us to let the specialists examine her again.
01:48In our consultation at the health center, we found that Yanyan's baby size was small.
01:54Your baby size is small. It's not that small.
02:00You should eat because your baby size is small.
02:04We're looking for the heartbeat.
02:11That's the heart tone.
02:13That's the heartbeat of your child.
02:18Did you hear that?
02:24Your baby is healthy.
02:26The baby is okay for now.
02:29Her heartbeat is good.
02:30She's on the left.
02:32She's already here.
02:34She's already in position.
02:36Hi, good afternoon.
02:38I'm Dr. Achua.
02:41And since we can already know the status of the baby that Yanyan is carrying,
02:46we should also have her examined by an obstetrician-gynecologist or OB-GYN to get an ultrasound.
02:52I want the baby to be a female.
02:55So that when she's a male, she'll be able to carry more.
03:03She's in the right position because the baby's head is already down.
03:08So that's a good position for you to give birth normally when you're a month old.
03:15My measurements for her are
03:177 and a half months.
03:19My measurements for her are 30 weeks and 4 days.
03:23I didn't see any abnormalities.
03:26Her position is also correct.
03:28Her placenta is correct.
03:30There's a lot of water.
03:33In 2022, the number of mothers aged 10 to 17
03:38had increased by 10.15%.
03:42In a data released by the Commission on Population of Popcom in 2023,
03:47the Philippines is the second country in Southeast Asia
03:50that has a high case of adolescent birth rate among women aged 15 to 19.
03:57At her age of 14, Yanyan's pregnancy is considered a high-risk pregnancy.
04:02They're not yet mature enough to handle a situation like pregnancy.
04:08So physically and emotionally, they're not yet ready.
04:12Their body, the teenagers,
04:15can have anemia or hypertension more often than the teenage pregnancies.
04:21It's preeclampsia.
04:23It's the increase in blood pressure.
04:26It's the increase in blood pressure.
04:28It's preeclampsia.
04:30It's the increase in blood pressure during pregnancy.
04:33There can also be abnormalities in the baby
04:36or premature deliveries or early birth of the baby
04:40because they're not yet ready.
04:42So there are a lot of risk factors.
04:46That's why Dr. Tshuwa advised that
04:49even if the patient is still a teenager,
04:52a regular check-up is necessary.
04:54A patient needs a regular check-up.
04:57First of all, a small pregnancy needs a check-up.
05:02And then, a regular prenatal check-up
05:05is usually monthly up to 28 weeks.
05:09Then, more than 28 weeks up to 32 weeks,
05:13usually, her check-up is every two weeks.
05:16The hardship of minor mothers does not end with pregnancy.
05:21Once the baby is born,
05:23they will face a new challenge.
