​Carla is a teenager living in poverty who is pregnant. What is true about associated health risks to her and her baby?

A) ​Her baby is more likely to have a low birth weight, but this is not a risk.
B) ​She is equally as likely to be abused as poor teens who are not pregnant.
C) ​Her baby is more likely to have low birth weight, raising mortality risk.
D) ​She is more likely to be abused, but her baby cannot be abused in utero.

Being pregnant while living in poverty increases the risk of the baby having a low birth weight, which in turn raises the risk of infant mortality. This is a significant health risk. A and B are incorrect because low birth weight is a risk, and pregnant teenagers living in poverty are at an increased risk of abuse. D is incorrect because abuse can occur in utero, such as if the mother is exposed to substances that harm the baby's development.
