Pregnancy Stigma

Pregnancy Stigma is a social construct that denotes the negative societal attitudes, disapproval, and discriminatory beliefs directed toward individuals, particularly adolescents, who become pregnant outside socially sanctioned norms, distinguishing it from general stigma by its specific moral and cultural judgment of pregnancy in contexts such as age, marital status, or socioeconomic condition.
