WTFH.
An 11-year-old girl became one of the world's youngest mothers - and went into labour on the way to her wedding.
Kordeza Zhelyazkova, from Sliven in Bulgaria, was still wearing her wedding dress and tiara as she was rushed to hospital, where she gave birth to 5lb 8oz Violeta.
Proudly displaying her baby, she told reporters: 'I'm not going to play with toys any more - I have a new toy now.'
Kordeza - who fell pregnant within two weeks of her 11th birthday - spent the night in hospital with Violeta and then headed back to church for her wedding with 19-year-old Jeliazko Dimitrov.
Kordeza told the News of the World: 'It feels strange to be a mum and have a baby.
'I used to play with my toys but now she is my new toy.
'She is so beautiful, I love her. Violeta is the child and I must grow up. I am not going back to school - I am a mother now.'
The couple met when Jeliazko rescued Kordeza from bullies in the playground.
However he now faces six years in jail for having sex with a minor, telling the paper his fears when he found out Kordeza was pregnant.
He said: 'I was really scared.
'We didn't plan to have sex or a baby although I fell in love with Kordeza the moment I saw her.
He added: 'I was walking past the school when I saw some boys mocking her and I told them to leave her alone.
'Then she arranged to meet me and asked me out on our first date. I thought she was 15. She didn't tell me she was 11.'
....
ah Bulgaria. land of the children with children's children. im not surprised really. this has been, what, the third time a (consenting) minor gets pregnant and delivers a child. something up with bulgarian men. im reminded of Borat when he said he bought his wife at 12 and left her 3 years later when her 'voice become deep and grow many hairs on chest...' maybe that's why they start young.
im sorry, but a mother at 11 is something i can't wrap my mind around. i have cousins who are 12 and act like kids for godsakes! what next? a grandmom at 22? and great grandmom at 33? then get married and do it all over again? whats the rush? where's the fire? keep your bulgarian bulges in your pants and wait, oh i dont know, till she's out of primary school!
but knowing me, ever the eternal conspiracy theorist, believe that there is this elaborate plan across the world to see which country can officially produce the world's youngest mother. no, no, listen. think about it. can you picture some concerned old mother in Azerbaijan right now going "damn you bulgarians! ayaan! go next door and get pregnant, now! no i don't care if sesame street is on! go!"
or some arkansas hillbilly at the maternity ward, with his wife and new daughter, going, "lord sakes! mo' booty for daddy tonight. yee haw!" then when asked if he was trying to break the record, asks back, "whut record?"
hey if that's the case, then i say..
"3 MORE YEARS!"
whoo!
yes i constantly refer to this mayan calender on my wall.
