Britains youngest mom

[cfiler]

A girl is to become Britain's youngest mother after becoming pregnant at 11.

The girl smokes 20 cigarettes a day despite being eight months' pregnant. She conceived aged 11 when she lost her virginity to a boy of 15 on a drunken night out with friends.

The 15-year-old has since been charged with rape by police, and is due to appear again at Edinburgh sheriff court on July 10.
Her 34-year-old mother, who gave birth to her youngest child eight months ago, said she was 'proud' of her daughter.

She will be 12 years and 8 months when she has the child next month. Jenny Teague, Britain's youngest mother until now, was a month older when she gave birth in 1997.

The youngster, who lives near Edinburgh, says looking after her younger brothers has prepared her for motherhood.

But the girl admits she "panics and cries" when babies are unwell and does not feel able to bathe them.

The mother-to-be, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had unprotected sex with the teenage boy, who also cannot be identified, while drunk last August.

'Excited'

She told the Sun: "I didn't think I'd get pregnant because it was my first time. But I'm really excited and looking forward to being a mum.

"I can't wait to take the baby swimming and out for walks in the pram. I think I'll be able to cope as I've had lots of practice looking after my brothers.

"I know how to feed a baby its bottle and I can change nappies. But I panic and cry if they're sick and I don't like giving them a bath because I'm a bit frightened.

"It's good to know I'll have my mum here to help me if I need her."

Concerned she might be pregnant, the girl visited a GP three times but tests proved negative. She learned the truth after buying a home-testing kit from a supermarket.

After the device displayed two blue lines, indicating she was pregnant, she pleaded with a female relative to break the news to her mother. The girl, who has been suspended from her first year of secondary school for fighting, said: "I was paranoid about what my mum was going to say and just frightened about being pregnant too.

"I knew straight away that I couldn't have an abortion because that's something I don't believe in.

"I was upset and so was my mum, especially as she'd just had my wee brother. We had a big argument and I ended up locking myself in my room and running away to a friend's.

"It was really hard but it's brought me and my mum closer, which is good. I knew my mum would stand by me no matter what, but I told her straight away I was going to keep the baby.

"The social worker suggested I got rid of it but I'd never do that."

Smoking at nine

The girl, who has shoulder-length dark hair, began smoking at nine and started drinking tonic wine and vodka cocktails at ten. She claimed her cigarette habit was not harming the health of her unborn child.

She said: "I can give up smoking at any time, but I don't find it affects my pregnancy."

The girl, whose parents split up several years ago, said she would like a baby boy - and may call him Leo.

She is currently being educated at a local community centre but knows she must return to school.

She told the Sun: "My mum has said she will look after the baby so I can go to school. I don't know what I want to do with my life when I leave. I used to want to be a nursery nurse, but now I'm not so sure."

'Proud of my daughter'

Her mum said: "I'm not ashamed of my daughter at all - in fact, I'm proud of her for keeping the baby.

"I know she's worried what other people will say but she can walk out there with her head held high.

"At first I wasn't too happy about becoming a gran. But now I'm used to the idea. I'm really looking forward to having another baby in the house."

The Scottish Conservatives has called for society and families to unite to change attitudes towards sex following the news.

[Temptation]

[mwolffey]

damn...11...these kids are f'n crazy...i was still playing with action figures at 11

[J.S.N.]

hahaha britain's way white trasher than the USA.

[MrMeathead]

I don't see how that child is going to live with the fact that her mother was only 11 when she had her. If the 11 year old is that bad now i wonder what she will be like in her teens. That is a scary thought.

[cfiler]

I like how the mom is all proud of her 11 yeard old knocked up daughter. Way to be a rolemodel.

[stee]

hahaha britain's way white trasher than the USA.

I wouldnt say so mate, but its catching the US up pretty quick.

[l2elapse]

[steve0]

you can get pregnant at 11 !!! they aint got abortions in the UK or what ?

[~fuelforfire~]

holy crap, i didnt know what sex was when i was 11

i sure did

[PhishStasH]

That's just completely f*cked up. This all leads back to piss poor parenting.

Time to read up on Revalations and see what will happen next.

[~fuelforfire~]

that thing about that boy is dumb though, getting charged for rape, hes ****ing 15 years old, you could say shes 11 but look she obviously knows what sex is.

[big staley]

[sbeast007]

wots the youngest age a girl has had a baby in the us?
i wonder who the youngest in the world is and how old??

[stee]

Haha nice one! why did i think of that???

[stee]

one thing i have noticed in the areas i work in, a they are the lowest end of society we see alot of kids similar to this.
I have noticed that only a small percentage have any sort of looks and are thicker than a jar of phlem.

my mate said its probably down to inbreeding.
I have never thought about it untill then, it would explain many things.

1. they all live and stay in the same area

2. manyhave sex at young ages.

3. Nearly all are single mothers.

now you think if this was going on in the 70's
i could be one haveing sex with a girl down the road who loves the cock. and not know its my biological sister.
she gets tubbed up and has a nipper who is real thick and ugly to boot becasue of the gene pool being watered down.

So i really wonder how many of these inbreds are walking round the street and what will the next generationg look like.

[Timm1704]

i read that story last week, it made me angry that one, the girl could be so stupid, irresponsible and ignorant to the fact that smoking doesnt harm her baby, and that she is 'ready' to be a mum, and also, that the mother could ever be proud of the little shit, and seemingly encourage her. this baby has my sympathy, if it does indeed make it to this world.

[QuieTSToRM33]

that story is pitiful and disgusting

[ndfan]

hahaha britain's way white trasher than the USA.

hahahaha!!!

Sounds like child services should step in and take the baby away from the 11yr old then take the kids away from the mother. Proud of her daughter for getting pregnant, I'd kick my daughters ass. No way can she take care of a baby, what a dumb ass

It aint as easy anymore with European Legislation and Human rights etc.

[MAXIMA5]

The sad thing is, this is big news in the UK. This shit happens every day in every ghetto in the USA.

[MAXIMA5]

the baby will start school be for she gets out of high school.

They'll take the same short bus to school.

[bigbouncinballs]

wtf's a pram?

[J.S.N.]

it's a stroller i think.

[BlueAndromeda73]

Rediculous, glad she has had so much practice and life experience, what a retard doesn't even think smoking is bad for pregnancy let alone he is only 11 and her lungs haven't even fully developed, stupid girl
