By all indicators, the reproductive health of Americans has been deteriorating since 1980. Our nation is troubled by rates of teen pregnancies and newborn deaths that are worse than almost all others in the Western world. Science and Babies is a straightforward presentation of the major reproductive issues we face that suggests answers for the public. The book discusses how the clash of opinions on sex and family planning prevents us from making a national commitment to reproductive health; why people in the United States have fewer contraceptive choices than those in many other countries; what we need to do to improve social and medical services for teens and people living in poverty; how couples should "shop" for a fertility service and make consumer-wise decisions; and what we can expect in the futureâ€"featuring interesting accounts of potential scientific advances.

California has a large teenage population and a high number of teenage pregnancies. Predominately poor and low-income teens account for about 83% of mothers who give birth and become unmarried adolescent parents. Teen parents face a variety of complex health, education, and financial challenges. Additionally, their children are at risk for poor health outcomes, increased educational concerns, and behavioral problems. State and federally funded agencies and programs are available, but many adolescent pregnant and parenting students and their families in rural areas may be unaware of the support services. This project sought to develop a bilingual guide that will inform, encourage and assist pregnant and parenting students to access comprehensive support services. The guide has a focus audience that resides in a rural school district spanning three counties in Northern California. In the development of a constructive guide, eight adolescent parenting mothers and one pregnant mother answered questions concerning how many of the California Department of Education's nineteen allowable support services that they were receiving at their educational sites, and how their academic coursework was progressing toward high school completion. Nine support providers from pregnant and parenting school programs and from local county agencies were also interviewed. Information concerning the best practice of service delivery for adolescent students, their families and support providers was then arranged in an educational, teen-friendly, bilingual guide. The content of the guide includes topics on making an informed choice, learning how to take care of oneself while pregnant, things to learn before giving birth, important issues on parenting, educational rights of school-age students and programs concerning continuing education. In addition, internet links and phone contacts are provided to allow both the students and the professionals who work with them to access the programs, services, and the supports that they might require to meet their needs.

A NPR BOOKS WE LOVE 2021 Selection “[T]his book is so much more than a memoir . . . . Her prose has the power to undo deep-set cultural biases about poverty and parenthood.”—New York Times Book Review An activist calls for better support of young families so they can thrive and reflects on her experiences as a Black mother and college student fighting for opportunities for herself and her child. Pregnant Girl presents the possibility of a different future for young mothers—one of success and stability—in the midst of the dismal statistics that dominate the national conversation. Along with her own story as a young Black mother, Nicole Lynn Lewis weaves in those of the men and women she’s worked with to share a new perspective on how poverty, classism, and systemic racism impact teen pregnancy and on how effective programs and equitable policies can help teen parents earn college degrees, have increased opportunity, and create a legacy of educational and career achievements in their families. After Nicole became pregnant during her senior year in high school, she was told that college was no longer a reality—a negative outlook often unfairly presented to teen mothers. Nicole left home and experienced periods of homelessness, hunger, and poverty. Despite these obstacles, she enrolled at the College of William & Mary and brought her 3-month-old daughter along. Through her experiences fighting for resources to put herself through college, she discovered her true calling and founded her organization, Generation Hope, to provide support for teen parents and their children so they can thrive in college and kindergarten—driving a 2-generation solution to poverty. Pregnant Girl will inspire young parents faced with similar choices and obstacles that they too can pursue their goals with the right support.
