According to reports, a girl who had a baby when she was 11 years old is thought to be the youngest mother in the UK. Her family didn’t know she was going to have a baby.
The young girl, who was 10 years old when she got pregnant, gave birth earlier this month. Both the mother and the baby are healthy, according to the Sun.
Social services are now looking into the situation around the pregnancy and talking to her family, who didn’t know about the pregnancy, as reported by the newspaper.
Someone told The Sun newspaper: “It was a big surprise. Now she’s getting help from experts.
The important thing is that both she and the baby are okay. It’s concerning that nobody knew about this.”
Tressa Middleton, who gave birth in 2006 at the age of 12, is thought to have been the previous youngest mother. However, she was compelled to give up the kid after admitting the child’s father was her brother, who had sexually assaulted her.
When her daughter was born in 2006, Tressa Middleton became the youngest mother in British history.
In 2014, a mother and father who were both 12 years old and 13 years old set the record for the youngest parents.
Girls usually start puberty around the age of 11, but it can happen anywhere from eight to 14 years old, and weight can affect when it starts.
When younger children get pregnant, there’s a higher chance of having problems like premature labor, infections, and pre-eclampsia.
In 2017, there was a reported incident of another girl in the UK having a baby when she was 11, but there weren’t any more details given.
Tressa, seen in a photo with her second child Arihanna, expressed how glad she was after facing issues with her first baby.
The youngest mother ever recorded was a girl from Peru named Lina Medina. She was only five years and seven months old when she gave birth to a boy named Gerardo in May 1939.
Initially, her parents thought she had a tumor, but when she was taken to the hospital, doctors discovered she was seven months pregnant.
