But she's mature for her age and I'm sure she'll be a good mum.' She is still a giggly little 12-year-old at heart. 'She thinks it's all exciting being pregnant and having a baby, but she is throwing half her life away.
She added: 'I don't think she realises the magnitude of what she has done yet. Mrs Crowhurst said she had been surprised by her daughter's pregnancy because 'she knows all about condoms and that'. After missing several weeks of school her own personal tutor visited her at home for the first time yesterday. She can no longer play sport or even go to school with her friends. The result of that meeting has been the end of Amy's childhood. Amy's mother knows only that he is 'a Jamaican boy from London' who visited Crawley for a night out.Īmy claims to have had sex with the boy only once. The child's teenage father does not know about the pregnancy. 'When she kept putting on weight I went out and bought a home pregnancy kit, which was when we found out the truth.' 'But I put that down to smoking,' said Mrs Crowhurst, who knew her daughter was already a regular smoker. She had confided in her mother that she was missing periods. At first she had been reluctant to tell her mother, but suspicions were aroused when Amy began putting on weight and fainted. Two weeks ago a doctor confirmed that Amy was pregnant. 'I don't need to go to ante-natal classes because nobody knows more than my mum about bringing up children.' Speaking with her mother's approval Amy - who smokes, and has had her nose, ears and belly button pierced - said: 'I don't really mind because I don't like school anyway and now I don't have to go any more. The most recent of these resulted in the birth of Amy's youngest sibling, a boy called Momodou whose father has since returned to his wife and children in the Gambia. Since then her mother has had a number of relationships. Three years ago Amy's father walked out on the family and set up home with another woman. The children's ages range from 21 years to just four months old. She has given birth to nine children by two different fathers. This consists of two council houses knocked into one - to accommodate the still growing family of Amy's 42-year-old mother Rose. 'Of course I wish it had never happened but it's too late now.'Īmy, one of Britain's youngest recorded mothers-to-be, spoke to the Daily Mail after we were invited into the family home in Crawley, West Sussex. 'I know I was stupid to get pregnant but I'm not that bothered really,' she admitted yesterday. She does not know his surname or where he lives. Her child was conceived in a one-night stand at the local youth club with a 15-year-old boy.
