The statistics for teenage pregnancy are increasing, but young girls don't realize the consequences until it's too late! Pregnancy in girls under 18 years old has a destructive impact on their mental development from a psychological point of view. At such a young age, a girl does not have the time to mature as an individual, to obtain an education and to fully comprehend the level of responsibility for a child.

How to avoid unwanted pregnancy?

Let's get started! The only surefire way not to get pregnant is not to have sex at all. Making a decision about sex is a very important stage that requires conscious consideration.

However, if you and your partner are already sexually active, it is necessary to:


Visit a doctor together to discuss which type of contraceptive you are planning to use.

The doctor should also advise you on how to use these contraceptives responsibly and systematically.

If you had unprotected sex and are genuinely concerned about unwanted pregnancy, you can purchase an emergency contraception pill from a pharmacy or doctor. This pill needs to be taken within 72 hours after intercourse. Keep in mind that it has a number of side effects, so it's better to consult with a specialist and not to resort to the method of emergency contraception frequently.

What signs might indicate that you are pregnant?

Missed period. The most basic sign of conception is the absence of menstruation. Nausea and vomiting. Morning sickness is one of the typical signs of pregnancy and can begin just two weeks after conception. Breast tenderness. Pressure on the bladder and the urge to use the toilet more frequently. Hormonal changes cause emotional upheaval, and constant fatigue is also an early sign of pregnancy. If you recently had sex and you have one or more of the above symptoms, we recommend purchasing a pregnancy test from a pharmacy. If the test is conducted too early, there might be a false negative result. However, a blood test can confirm pregnancy well before a missed period. If you are concerned, ask your doctor for a blood test referral.

The next step is to talk to someone about it. The main thing to remember is that you need your friends and family more than ever, and it's important to talk to each other. The father of your child has the right to know about the pregnancy, and to also bear responsibility for it!
