11 Year Old Gives Birth: 11 Year Old Woman Gives Birth to a Bouncing Baby Boy

11 Year Old Gives Birth: 11 Year Old Woman Gives Birth to a Bouncing Baby Boy. 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. 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.

Al-Khan said other medical challenges facing a girl as young as 10 or 11-years-old include:

— 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.
