Teenager Was Pregnant 10 Times

Researchers investigating the sexual behaviour of teenage girls discovered one had been pregnant 10 times.

Her case came to light when the records were examined of 144 girls who had visited a sexual diseases clinic in London.

The girl reportedly first fell pregnant at 12 and kept two of the babies, had three abortions and lost the other five through miscarriages.

The research, published in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, found that the 144 girls, aged from 12 to 16, were three times more likely to have a sexually transmitted infection than older women.
