Younest Mother Delivers Natural Birth at 10 Years Old
Child Birth at 10 Years Old - Whatever Next?
For a parent, it must be one of the scariest things in the world to hear that moment when your daughter walks into the room and says “I’m pregnant!” But, for the majority of us we hope that it at least holds off till they are old enough to look after a new born, let alone conceive it.
For a Spanish parent, that’s definitely not the case – after their 10 year old daughter gave birth naturally to a 6lb 6oz baby through natural birth.
Unbelievable as it may seem, most girls of that age have hardly started their ‘adult’ cycle, let alone thought about being a parent to a new born child before they hit their teenage years. This just highlights how different countries beliefs are, with Spain having a law which allows children to marry at the age of 14, and consent to sex at 13.
I know my beliefs are set in stone – because if we be honest with ourselves for just one minute, what age a child should be classed as ‘rown up’ enough to make their own mind up?
Personally, being a parent and having got married at 21 – I think that the age of consent should be 18, with the same for marriage and 21 to consume alcohol. But, that is my opinion – what is yours?
