yes, many women throughout history have had children at 13...and a hell of a lot have died. according to a wikipedia type site (which I accidentally closed, but will try to find again), the maternal death rate in the 19th century was about 1 death per 100 live births.
Our bodies aren't fully developed at 13. We're not our full size, breat aren't fully grown. It can't be good to toss a growing fetus into the mix.
