10-year-old gives birth
28 September 2007

BRUSSELS – A ten-year-old girl from Charleroi gave birth to a baby last year. The father was 13.

“The pregnancy was a big surprise to the girl and her mother,” says doctor Robert Chef from Charleroi. “The child came to me with unexplained abdominal pain. She had also put on weight. Her mother had even put her on a diet for a while but that had little effect. When we examined her it turned out she was nine months pregnant. The child was carrying a full term baby.”

What surprised the doctor the most was that the 10-year-old really looked her age. “Some girls look like a teenager of 15 or 16 at that age. But not this girl.”

Still the delivery went smoothly. The young mother was given special treatment however. She was not admitted to the regular maternity ward lest this raise too many curious questions. She was given a bed in the children’s ward.
“The father of the baby came to visit her there as well. Many pregnancies in young girls are the result of incest. But that was not at all the case here. The father was a schoolmate of 13. A young guy as well.”

Robert Chef says the parents of the girl did not respond angrily. “The grandmother immediately took charge of the baby. She said she would raise it as her own child.”

Yesterday the medical weekly De Huisarts reported that 57 Belgian 10-year-olds had been prescribed a birth control pill last year. Some for medical reasons, but others for actual birth control.

Steven asks…

What do you think the chances are getting pregnant this time?

I have a healthy 4 yr old daughter and that pregnancy went fine. We had been trying for 9 months for our second child and sadly I had a natural miscarriage on 7/15/07 I was only 4 weeks along. My doctor said we can start trying after I stopped bleeding so we have be trying since 7/24/07 but I took a pregnancy test on 8/10/07 and it was negative. Do you think I could still be pregnant and the HCG level was to early to detect? I also was reading that after a natural miscarriage you ovulate during 6-8 weeks after the miscarriage so should we still keep trying during those weeks? I am not stressing it we have sex only 3 times for fun and I just want to know what do you think the chances are to get pregnant again? Thank you for all your answers and advice.

Michelle answers:

Keep trying. It might take a bit longer this time around. I had the same thing with HCG levels – even hospital gave me negative answer and later on came out I was pregnant.

How Long Should You Wait Between Pregnancies?

I have a 13 1/2mth old son and he was a natural birth.
My partner and I are TTC#2 but I have been reading that it’s not recommened to get pregnant until your child is about 4 because your body isn’t physically ready.

My questions today are:
1) How long should you wait between pregnancies?

2) What would happen if I was to get pregnant now?
Would my baby be at risk?

3) How far apart are your children? Did you have a more complicated pregnancy because they were close/far apart?

Michelle answers:

I have not heard 4 years. I heard that the body needs at least 6 months to fully recover from birth! You should be fine to get pregnant now. I have 2 kids, and they are 18 months apart. My second pregnancy was a smooth one. Many moms in our playgroup are also having baby #2, and their kids are around 2-3 years apart 🙂
