Materials and Methods: This study reviewed the obstetric data sheets of all teenage pregnancies managed between January 2013 and December 2017 at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi, North -Central, Nigeria.

Results: Teenage deliveries included 43 cases constituting 2.06% of the total 2084 deliveries within the period. The mean age (SD) was 17.88 (±1.77) years. The commonest antenatal complications were malaria (39.5%), anaemia (37.2%), and hypertension in pregnancy (20.9%). The augmentation of labour was done for 16 parturient mothers (37.2%) and 16.3% had the induction of labour. The caesarean section rate was 16.3% and it was mostly related to obstructed labour (47.1%). In addition, episiotomy was done in 11.6% of parturient mothers and 46.5% had perineal tear. There were 37 live births out of which, 6 cases were neonatal admissions and 6 other cases were perinatal deaths. Finally, the perinatal mortality rate among the teenage deliveries was 139.5 per 1000.

Conclusions: The incidence of teenage births was 2.06% with associated obstetric risks and adverse pregnancy outcomes necessitating improved obstetric care during pregnancy and delivery.
