women aged 30-34 had a modestly higher risk of dying from a pregnancy-related cause than women younger than 20 (1.4),

The phrase "younger than 20" can mean a lot of things. I suspect the vast majority of women referred to here were between 16 and 19. Has anyone looked at very young girls and pregnancy specifically?

What a hellish thing to have to contemplate.

That's all I could find. But if God designed the female body to give birth at that age, then giving birth should be a perfectly healthy activity.

If the baby was the product of rape or incest, OTOH, that's a different story.

What a hellish thing to have to contemplate.

Pregnancy itself or the relationship that brought the baby into the world?
