A structured questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Data input and analysis were conducted using SPSS version 22.0. Statistical techniques that are both descriptive and inferential are employed. Results: A total of 280 mothers took part; both groups were housewives with low incomes and elementary school graduates. While the older age group had between 3 and 4 pregnancies and deliveries by CS for both groups, the adolescent group only had 1-2. Placenta previa, gestational hypertension, eclampsia, and olighydrominos were complications before delivery that were significantly related to the mother outcome.
