The ‘youngest mother in the history of the United Kingdom gives birth at the age of 12 and her family does not know about the pregnancy’

A girl who gave birth at the age of 11 is believed to be the youngest mother in the UK with a family unaware she was pregnant, according to reports.

The youngster, who was 10 when she became pregnant, gave birth earlier this month and both mother and baby are healthy, The Sun claims.

Now social services are investigating the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy and talking to her family who were unaware of the pregnancy, the newspaper adds.

A source told The Sun: „It’s been a huge shock. She is now surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are fine.

„There are questions about why people didn’t know. That’s very worrying.”

The previous youngest mother was said to be Tressa Middleton when she gave birth in 2006, aged 12, but she was forced to leave her after confessing that the girl’s father was her brother, who raped her.

The record for the youngest parents was a 13-year-old father and a 12-year-old mother, when they had a child in 2014.

st mother in the world was a Peruvian girl named Lina Media who was only five years and seven months old when she gave birth in May 1939 to a boy named Gerardo.

Her parents thought she had a tumor, but when they took her to the hospital, it was discovered that she was seven months pregnant.
