A new baby boy was born today, his mother, who lives in the Northeast, is only 11 years old. Both baby and mother are said to be in good health.
According to the girls mother:
“My daughter and baby are fine, and the baby is absolutely beautiful,”
In order to protect their daughter, the families name has been protected.
While both child and mother are in good health, Dr. Manny Alvarez of FoxNews said she is at a higher risk for certain dangers and that her condition will need to be monitored regularly in order to ensure she remains healthy.
Below is a list of the major issues a mother of the girls age can face during and after pregnancy:
- The pelvis is not defined for natural childbirth;
- The vagina could sustain injury during a natural birth;
- The patient is at high-risk for pre-eclampsia, which is high blood pressure and protein in the urine and could lead to convulsions and/or multi-system organ failure;
- A higher risk of pre-term labor and delivery, which would mean the baby’s size would be compromised, and the baby is at risk for developmental issues, fetal growth restriction and chromosomal abnormalities;
- Higher incidence of stillbirth;
- Higher incidence of cholestasis of pregnancy, a condition where the patient starts itching like crazy, which can lead to stillbirth and placenta issues;
- Chance of fatty liver developing, which could be fatal.
