It was reported that a 14 year old teenager has given birth to triplets in Bungoma County kenya. The 14 year old
Mwanaharabu Wamukoya of Harambee village in Kakamega County, Kenya was
admitted to Bungoma District Hospital on Saturday evening and had a
Caesarean Section on Sunday to deliver the three baby boys.Two of the new-borns weighed 1.5 kilogrammes while the third one weighed 1.3 kilogrammes.
The father of the
babies, a 16-year-old boy, is said to have been on the run after
hearing that the girl had given birth to triplets. The 16 year old
father is also a school drop-out and does menial jobs. The arrival of
the triplets is said to have distressed him. “He has no ability
to take care of the babies even if he was here. We are grateful to the
government for scrapping off maternity fees because I will be free to go
home once discharged. I would have been detained here if I had been
asked to pay,” the teenage mother said.
Health practitioners in the country have expressed concern over the increasing rates of teenage pregnancies. Parents should watch their children well.
