Pregnancy in Puerto Rico has increased, but mostly by teenage girls. You don't see a lot of professional women having children, or a lot of it, just one or none. Most women are putting their careers first instead of having children. Most of teenage girls stay single after having the babies, also most of the girls are disadvantaged and most of the pregnancies are not wanted. All of this is because they are unaware of information about sex and contraceptives methods. Sadly this is the reality about pregnancies in Puerto Rico. Some people say that Puerto Rico is the country with most pregnant girls in the world.

Very good information. I think about pregnancy in Puerto Rico is a matter that is happening very often. The young people today do not use preservative and get pregnant at a young age and get an unwanted pregnancy. Today many are single mothers and the family is dysfunctional.(Neiza García)
