UK’s ‘youngest ever mum gives birth aged 12 with family unaware of pregnancy’

An 11-year-old girl has made history as the youngest mother in the United Kingdom, having given birth earlier this month without her family’s knowledge of her pregnancy, according to The Sun. Both the mother and her newborn are reported to be in good health. Social services are currently investigating how the pregnancy went undetected. A source commented, “This has come as a significant surprise. She is now receiving support from experts. The most important thing is that both she and the baby are well.” The previous record was held by Tressa Middleton, who gave birth at the age of 12 in 2006. In 2014, the youngest parents in the UK were a 12-year-old mother and a 13-year-old father.
