They are at a higher risk for some kind of disability in their child, mainly something such as deafness, a learning difficulty or speech problems. However, this is mainly due to the fact that a lot of younger mothers (around 13, 14 or 15) are not fully developed themselves, and therefore cannot often carry a baby to full-term resulting in a premature baby and premature babies are at a higher risk of conditions such as deafness and speech problems. Having said this, many young mothers have very healthy babies who are just fine
