In Babies and more we talk about children and talk about pregnancy, but talk about a 12 year old pregnant girl It gives us the creeps. It is not compatible. How is it possible?
A 12-year-old girl has been admitted to the Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital in Murcia today because she felt some discomfort. It is a South American minor, and according to the first investigations, her pregnancy is the result of a spoiled relationship with a child of the same age as her.
Upon discovering that the causes of their discomfort were due to a pregnancy, the toilets gave the alarm and the Civil Guard initiated an investigation to clarify whether the child could have been subjected to any type of abuse.
But as we mentioned before, everything indicates that sexual contacts between the two children would have been spoiled by both parties.
If the girl wants to interrupt the gestation process, she must have the authorization of her parents or legal guardians, as established by the last reform of the Abortion Law in Spain carried out by the current Executive of the Popular Party.
According to the Opinion of Murcia, if it is finally confirmed that the 12-year-old child is the one who has made the child pregnant, in no case would the matter be investigated as a crime of sexual abuse, since children under 14, under the Spanish Criminal Code, they are imputable.
Teenage pregnancy
Teenage pregnancy or early pregnancy It can be defined as one that occurs within the first two years of gynecological age (time elapsed since menarche) and / or when the adolescent is still dependent on her family nucleus of origin or has not reached the legal age of majority (variable according to different countries of the world).
WHO establishes adolescence between the ages of 10 and 19. Most teenage pregnancies are considered unforeseen or unwanted pregnancies, caused by sexual intercourse without contraceptive methods.
One of the most complex problems currently facing human reproduction occurs precisely during this period: teenage pregnancy is considered a biomedical problem with a high risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, which leads to an increase in morbidity rates and maternal, perinatal and neonatal mortality.
Due to immaturity, the impact of an early pregnancy predisposes to psychological problems such as postpartum depression, low self-esteem, as well as inability to take care of your child, the truncation of your vital plans and the rejection of the couple or social.
The father is usually a young adolescent who does not assume his paternal responsibility, causing a situation of emotional, economic and social abandonment in the mother and child.
Risks in teenage pregnancy
On the other hand, teenage pregnancy should be considered as a high risk pregnancy.
In teenage pregnancy there is an increase in medical risks, such as the probability of suffering infections, premature ruptures of membranes or premature deliveries. Also pregnancy anemia, malnutrition, low birth weight and greater perinatal death.
