    Dreams of being a mother during the 19th century were demolished when the birth rate of babies increased dramatically, for the only way to “care” for a child, was to abandon them. A mother’s instincts are loving, protecting and caring unconditionally for their child. Through the early times, the birth rate of newborns was insignificantly high, due to many reasons, one being the lack of way to avoid pregnancy. The consequence of mothers was having to "get rid" of their babies, for their dreams of becoming mommies was "smothered by poverty and want" (p.68).…

    The teens pregnancy is not a new occurrence in our society, however, the perception of American society on this topic changed in the last century. Until late 1800’s, main concern about pregnant teen was to be married before baby was born and most of states codes allowed girls as young as 12 to do so (Teen Pregnancy, 2008). However, due to living condition, poor diet and diseases, most of teen girls did not reach physical maturity until late teens which limited number of early pregnancies. In 1900’s, the changes in law resulted in decreased rate of early marriage and pregnancy, until 1940s to 1960s when rate of teens pregnancy drastically increased (to about 70-80 births per 1000).
