Poor maternal nutrition during pregnancy leads to premature births and inadequate fetal growth. Early age at marriage and pregnancy further aggravate maternal health risks, as adolescent mothers are biologically less prepared for childbirth, increasing neonatal complications and infant mortality. Access to quality maternal and child healthcare services plays a decisive role in determining infant survival. Lack of antenatal care prevents early detection of pregnancy-related complications such as hypertension, infections, or gestational diabetes.
