    A 10-year-old girl gave birth last week in a Spanish hospital, as TIME's NewsFeed posted earlier today. The new mother's young age may be shocking, but she isn't the youngest mother on record by far.

    Earlier this year, a 9-year-old schoolgirl in northeast China gave birth to a healthy baby boy. In 2008, another 10-year-old girl in Idaho, who got pregnant at age 9, carried a baby to term. And back in 1939, as TIME reported, Lina Medina of Peru, became pregnant at the age of 5 years, 8 months, and became a mother by age 6 years, 5 months.

    Spanish newspapers are reporting that according to the mother of the young girl who gave birth last week, a first pregnancy at age 10 is not uncommon in their native country of Romania. Although we could not find find exact figures for births to children in that country or elsewhere, it is of course well known that teen motherhood is not unusual: the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 10% of girls in low- and middle-income countries become mothers by the age of 16, and 11% of all births worldwide are to mothers age 10 to 19.

    Teenage mothers account for 23% of the global burden of disease related to childbirth, according to WHO. There are myriad health consequences to both mother and child, when a young girl becomes pregnant before her own body has fully developed. Mothers under age 16 are four times more likely to die during childbirth and are at greater risk for related conditions including anemia, postpartum hemorrhage, depression and other mental disorders. In addition, 65% of women who develop obstetric fistula — in which a hole occurs in the perineum or between the vagina and bladder due to difficulties during labor — do so during adolescence.

    Infants born to mothers under 20 may also be at increased risk of death, compared with babies born to women over 20; the younger the teen mother, the more likely infant death becomes. Babies who survive tend to be premature, have low birth weight and are more likely to suffer from respiratory problems during labor, which increases health risks later on.

    In the case of the young Romanian mother, both mom and baby are reported to be healthy and safe. However, the Associated Press reports that Spanish authorities are uncertain about how to handle custody of the baby. It is not immediately clear whether either new parent (the father is also reported to be underage) — or their parents — will get custody.

    IN BEFORE THE LOCK.

    Señor Pun beat you to it. :eek:

    I correct myself. Yours has a bad title, so it won't be found quickly, but you did it before Pun. :eek: I apologize.

    What's shocking? That at 10 years old, girls can start to menstruate? At 10 years old, they can breed. :(

    I'm shocked at the reasoning behind it. Dude, I have a 10-year-old daughter but... damn. :(

    I find it more crazy how the article mentions even younger people have babies, kind of makes the 10yrs age not news worthy lol.

    I am just going to ask, but how the heck can a girl give birth before they start ovulating?

    I'll post in your thread seeing as I was too dumbfounded to come up with a meaningful title for mine. I think the part about the five year old getting pregnant and having a baby at six is what prompted my brain fart. How does a baby look at a six year old and say "mommy"? I can't quite wrap my head around this.

    Naturally? She can't........I mean.........whether you believe in some sort of God or whether Darwin is your God, if a lifeform gets pregnant, you have to believe that God or nature intended for them to be sexually mature (at least mechanically) at whatever age they got pregnant. But.................WOW..........five years old!?!?

    Babies have no concept of age when born, and don't talk, either. Whoever nurtures them is their "mommy". I'm sure that at whatever age the baby (if born healthy, one hopes) speaks, it will say "mommy" to its mommy. :eek:

    I have been told that recently the schools in my area have moved the "Tea Party Talk", (that's what they call it) about when they tell girls about what to expect with puberty, from 5th grade to 4th grade. I'm guessing this will become somewhat more common. Damn hormones in our chicken (or whatever).

    reminds me of middle school when some girls would be all grow'd at the end of the 6th grade and came back all developed at the start of 7th. Some boys still haven't fully developed yet at 8th... and then you'd see these couples with tall ass girls and tiny boys. I guess the disparity will only get bigger now.
