It was possible to demonstrate a low frequency of gestational diabetes in adolescents (2.7 %). Main risk factor for development of gestational diabetes at these ages was an overweight at onset of pregnancy (15.7 %). Pregnancy-induced hypertension wasn't associated with gestational diabetes. Most of patient had a transpelvic pregnancy (74.3 %). Fetal macrosomia wasn't a frequent finding in neither of this both groups, whereas low birth weight was a little more frequent. A low Apgar scoring at birth at minute and at five minutes, was in general, a very frequent finding.
