how common is death while giving birth in younger people?
if someone is going to be 17 when they give birth, is it safe? what are the chances of complications at that age?

I had my daughter when I was 16 and it was the hardest delivery I've had. I survived though so I wouldn't worry about death during delivery. You will do a great job I'm sure. Good luck :)
As long as you're in a hospital with doctors there shouldn't be any complications that can't be treated. There are potential risks if you need a c-section, but having a vaginal delivery should be just fine.
Im 19, just had my son on the 18th and it was hard, the contractions twards the end where the worst, but i got an Epidural and i highly recommend it, i was only 5cm dialated when i got it, and im happy i did, i slept for and hour and a half couldnt feel anything. You should be just fine. :) Goodluck!
i had my first kid at 17,and as long as you follow up with a doctor throughout your pregnancy you should be fine.that way if a complication does arise,the doctor can fix the problem.
i suggest that you take a walk everyday in your ninth month, this will help you deliver your baby fast. don't worry, you will be fine. God bless!
thank you everyone! feeling much better now (:
