Colombian 10 year-old gives birth

A 10-year-old Colombian girl gave birth to a healthy baby girl, doctors said. The mother, only identified as a young girl from Manaure, delivered her daughter, who weighed 5 pounds, by Caesarean section, ABC News reported Friday. \"The baby\'s head needs to come through a bony outlet. But in a young girl, the pelvis may not be ready or big enough to deliver a baby,\" said Dr. Kimberly Gecsi, an OB/GYN at UH Case Medical Center in Cleveland. Doctors said the girl is from a member of the Wayuu people, an indigenous tribe in northern Colombia. The age of the father is unknown. \"We\'ve already seen several cases [of pregnancy] in girls of the Wayuu ethnicity,\" said Efrain Pacheco Casadiego, director of the hospital where the girl gave birth. \"When in fact [the girls] should be playing with dolls, they are having to care for a baby. This is shocking.\"
