11 Year Old Girl From Britain Name Youngest Mother in the United Kingdom after giving Birth to a Child
An 11 year old girl residing in Britain gave birth to a healthy baby earlier this month. This incident has successfully managed to leave the whole world spellbound.
Reportedly, the 11 year old girl became aware of her pregnancy at the age of 10. Somehow, her family was oblivious to the 11 year old girl’s pregnancy. An insider who is well acquainted with the family reported that the news regarding the 11 year old girl’s pregnancy came as a big shock for the members.
11 Year Old Girl Gives a Birth To a Baby
During the time of delivery, the 11 year old girl was over 30 weeks along her pregnancy. But the thankful news is, both the girl and her newborn baby are healthy and are being taken care of.
The insider added, “She’s now being surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are okay. There are questions around why people did not know. That is very worrying.”
How did the 11 Year Old Girl get pregnant in the first place?
Surprisingly there is no answer to the question of how the 11 year old girl got pregnant. The young girl’s family was completely unaware of the situation.
The child got pregnant at the age of 10 and gave birth at 11. Following the delivery, social services have opened up an investigation revolving around the 11 year old girl’s pregnancy and all the members of her family are being questioned.
Dr. Carol Cooper, the doctor overlooking the 11 year old girl’s pregnancy reported that the girl was the youngest mother she had heard of. She went into detail and further elaborated that a girl can attain puberty between the ages of eight to fourteen, respectively. Eleven is considered to be an average age for puberty. The doctor added, “Weight affects many hormones. Because children are heavier, puberty is happening earlier these days. There’s a higher risk of a low- birth weight baby, pre- eclampsia, premature labour and many infections.”
But thankfully in this case, both the 11 year old girl and her baby are in good physical condition.
Girls in the current era are believed to be reaching their age of puberty earlier than the previous generations. A logical reason behind this conclusion might be due to various biological and environmental factors and primarily, the modern day diet.
Youngest Mothers till date
Before the 11 year old girl’s pregnancy, the youngest mother to exist in the UK was a 12 year old girl named Tressa Middleton, who gave birth to her baby in the year 2006.
Following this event, in 2014 a 13 year old boy and a 12 year old girl became parents to a child, making them the youngest parents in the United Kingdom.
The youngest mother to exist in the world dates back to the year 1939. Lina Media, a girl from Peru gave birth to a baby boy named Gerado in May 1939. Lina was only 5 years and 7 months old during the time of delivery. Initially Lina’s family were under the impression that she had a tumour but after being taken to the hospital, they discovered that she was in fact seven months pregnant.
Cases like these are not very common. The recent 11 year old girl’s pregnancy has shocked the whole world. Even though no evidence has come to light regarding her pregnancy till now, we hope that the social services reach to the bottom of this pregnancy case as soon as possible.
