Answer:

Foramen ovale

Explanation:

The foramen ovale is a hole that communicates the right side with the left side of the heart. During pregnancy, it is this communication that enables the fetus to receive its mother's oxygenated blood to develop since its lungs still do not function. Soon after birth, there is the natural closure of the foramen ovale. However, in a minority of people this natural closure does not occur and the foramen ovale remains open, ie patent, throughout life.

Bingel [31]
It causes physical changes and mental changes. They suffer from stress because of the following:
- attempting to finish high school
- arranging not only their own appointments (in certain circumstances) but also the child’s
- arranging child care when they’re not around
- getting less sleep from caring for the child
Studies have found that teen moms suffer from higher levels of stress and even cause suicidal tendencies (suicidal thoughts, cutting, and being depressed), and can experience postpartum depression.
