The national institute for health and clinical excellence want´s that midwives goes to schools to advice and makes antenatal care controls to the teen age’s pregnant women. That´s because teen ages pregnancy is a big problem at the UK and because many girls have problems to go to their antenatal controls or they are afraid to tell to their parents about their pregnancy, so they don´t go to their antenatal controls. Another problem is at the deprive backgrounds, where the risk of still birth and baby dying in the six first weeks of life is twice than in teen ages women who goes to their antenatal controls.
This idea would help teen age´s pregnant women, to educate them about the right alimentation that they have to eat and about the risks of alcohol and Tabaco abuse. Also the antenatal controls would help to find typical pregnancy diseases like gestational diabetes, and pre-eclampsia.
Although all the profits of the antenatal care control on teen age’s pregnancy, there are some people who said that this system would normalize the teen age problem at schools, so they are not agree with the proposition.
Some people who apply the idea think that improving it, making some changes according to the needs of the society, like the teen age pregnancy prevention in areas with high teen age’s pregnancy rate, it would be better to the society.
Other people said that the system have to be focused in the way of education, and antenatal care in different groups, like teen ages centers, at schools, at GP surgeries, etc.
The general secretary of the Royal College of Midwives said that this system would need more staff and resources to be implementing. Nevertheless He is happy to know about this recommendation because is a step in the right direction to improve social problems like teen age pregnancy.
