QuestionIf you are still a teenager and are going to give birth, could it kill you or damage you in any way, because your body's not fully grown? Thank you so much for taking your time to answer :)

AnswerIt really just depends on the individual person. I have seen with girls as young as 14 who had natural, vaginal childbirth without any complications. I've seen women in their prime (25) who have had excessive complications and nearly died in childbirth. Everyone's body matures and grows at a different rate. While there are traditionally more risks and potential complications with the very young and the very old (by old and young, I'm referring to the age variation of traditional childbirthing years: 12-50), whether or not a pregnancy will have an ill effect on you is more based upon your individual health.
Childbirth changes every woman. Your hips expand, your breasts often become fuller, and hormones cause various other changes as your body prepares to deliver the life that it is carrying. No woman is the same after she has given birth. However, I wouldn't consider this as damaging. =) It's simply a very natural and normal part of human existence for females who choose to give birth.
Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.
Best wishes!
