girl became Britain’s youngest mom at the age of 11. Reports say became pregnant when she was 10 and delivered a healthy baby after 30 weeks. What’s even more incredible is that her family had no clue she was expecting. The social services and council chiefs began investigating the situation.
An anonymous source who knows that family spoke to the Sun. “It has come as a big shock. She’s now being surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are OK. There are questions around why people did not know. That is very worrying.”
Britain’s Youngest Mom
While this birth may sound impossible, the truth is girls are developing faster than in previous generations. This is attributed to several biological and environmental factors, such as the typical diet nowadays. On average, however, girls reach puberty at 11, though it could occur between the ages of 8 and 14.
Dr. Carol Cooper commented on “Britain’s youngest mom,” according to NZ Herald, “This is the youngest mother I’ve heard of. The average age at which a girl begins puberty is 11, though it can be anytime between 8 and 14, or younger. Weight affects many hormones. Because children are heavier, puberty is happening earlier these days.”
She added, “There’s a higher risk of a low-birthweight baby, pre-eclampsia, premature labor and many infections. Around one in every 2,500 births happens to someone who doesn’t know she’s pregnant (or has hidden it).”
Not much more is known about Britain’s youngest mom and her pregnancy, and it’s unclear if the family will give more details to the press.
