The purpose of this work was to determine the features of the state of newborns of underage mothers. The children of minor pregnant women were examined (n=483), who were observed and gave birth to the Maternity Hospital No. 10 in St. Petersburg in 2004–2014. [1 group – 13–15 years old (n=49); 2 group – 16–17 years old (n=434)]. The comparison group consisted of 110 children of women of medium reproductive age. Significant differences in the anthropometric characteristics of newborns between groups were not found. It was shown that in children of minors of both age groups the hypotrophy of the newborn was significantly more frequently observed, as well as inflammatory diseases specific to the perinatal period (neonatal infection of the skin, conjunctivitis). Minors 13–15 years old were significantly more likely than 16–17 year olds and women of medium reproductive age to have asphyxia during labor and cephalhematoma.
