00:00Experts say that the number of pregnant women who get pregnant early

00:05at the age of 14 and below is the youngest in the government's latest statistics.

00:10It's only eight years old.

00:12Bernadette Reyes got it right.

00:18Hany Of Cueria was only 13 years old when she gave birth to her first child.

00:21She has three nephews.

00:22Maybe it's because I was too young.

00:26At first, we were all pregnant.

00:29They were just going to get the baby.

00:32And then it was gone.

00:38But due to the pain of being with her, she is now bedridden.

00:43For the kids, listen to their parents and study.

00:49So in the end, there will be no happiness.

00:51Because it's hard to be a parent.

00:53Despite these stories,

00:56the number of pregnant women is increasing even though they are not yet 15 years old.

01:01Based on the 2023 registered birth statistics of the Philippine Statistics Authority,

01:06the number of pregnant women at the age of 14 and below is increasing in recent years.

01:12In fact, in 2023, someone gave birth at the age of 8 years and above.

01:17Well, the number of births among mothers aged 15 to 19 was decreasing.

01:22It's also alarming because births among those under 15 years old have shown a slight increase.

01:36Girls should not have babies at such early ages.

01:40For example, a larger percentage of babies born to under-15 mothers weigh less than 2,500 grams.

01:46There were also four reported maternal deaths among under-15 mothers.

01:52Adolescent girls are not yet ready to provide proper nutrition to their babies.

02:00So, the health of the babies are affected by these births.

02:06Even at the ages of 15 to 19, early pregnancy is a big challenge.

02:11Like the experience of a grandchild in the womb of a pregnant woman.

02:15It's also hard.

02:17Sometimes, when there's no milk, I don't understand.

02:21I go to my grandmothers and ask for milk.

02:24We are the ones who provide milk.

02:30According to the Commission on Population and Development,

02:33there are also more unmarried relationships that result in the illegitimate status of the child.
