10 year old girl gives birth to daughter

London: The time when girls should be playing with dolls, a 10-year-old Colombian girl has become one of the world’s youngest mothers by giving birth to a healthy daughter.

The girl, a member of an indigenous tribe called the Wayuu who are based in the La Guajira Peninsula in the north of the country, was 39 weeks pregnant when she underwent a Caesarean section, Daily Mail reported.

It was the first time the pre-teen, from the town of Manaure, had visited a doctor in connection with her pregnancy.

Doctors decided to carry out the risky operation because of her age – and both mother and daughter, who weighed just 5lbs, are said to be ‘doing well’.

In any case the community has remained tight-lipped as to the identity of the father, with some Colombian newspaper speculating it is a 15-year-old boy while others believe it is a 30-year-old man, the mail said.
