I was a teen mum at 14 and was a hot gran-of-two by 36 – I was constantly judged and my birth was utterly miserable

A WOMAN has shared a very candid insight into what it was like to have a baby at 14.

Amber Boone, whose daughter had her first child aged 17, making her a grandmother at 31, explained how she'd decided to share her birthing experiencing after regularly being asked what it was like to give birth so young.

Amber, who gave birth two weeks after her due date, took to TikTok (@getrealwithab) and begins: "The days leading up to my due date and thereafter, I begged the doctor to induce me, take her by C-section, literally do anything they possibly could to get that child out of my body because I was absolutely miserable."

However, she goes on to claim that the doctors "refused."

"The baby was laying on a nerve of mine which means when she'd move in certain positions, I'd lose feeling in my legs and just drop to the ground," Amber continues.

"It was very painful."

She alleges she was told that if her child was over 8lb they'd have to take her by c-section because her birth canal was not large enough to push out an 8lb baby.

The young mum, who at this point was going to the doctor every other day to monitor her progress, explains how one day, she then woke up with the worst pain she's ever experienced in her life - and she knew her contractions had started.

"A little 14-year-old me goes to wake my mummy up…I took my little butt downstairs, got in the shower and proceeded to do my hair in those little twisties that we used to do back in 2000.

"My mum drove me to my boyfriend's house where he's arguing with his mum about lunch money."

She explains how they all arrived the the hospital together and Amber says from there, word was getting around her school that she was in labour.

"All my friends were coming and visiting me - at one point I had about 35 people in my room while I was in active labour," she claims.

However, with her labour progressing slowly, doctors eventually kicked everyone out and decided to break her waters.

Amber, who reluctantly opted for an epidural to reduce the pain, says it knocked her "clean out."

She recalls: "After about 22 hours of labour, they woke me up and was like, 'you have to push now' and I was like 'nooo, I want to go back to sleep'…so they turned my epidural all the way down just for an hour and a half.

"They were trying to prevent me from ripping down towards my bottom so I ripped up towards my pee hole and that was incredibly painful."

Amber, whose daughter was born weighing 8lbs 1oz, continues: "She was bruised, her entire face was bruised, she had popped blood vessels, my entire pelvic area inside and out was bruised."

She concludes: "I honestly do feel like the medical staff and doctors were a little more harsh with me because of my age.

."I don't know if they were trying to discourage me from doing it gain or whatever...

"I also think because of my age I didn't get the birthing experience I wanted because I didn't know how to speak up for myself."
