A sign in a hospital telling patients that they will be checked to see if they are pregnant before an x-ray - but only for folks who are aged between 12 and 50... Via Neta.
hmmm...i have never seen this in the states.
Only in Japan. XDDDD
Indeed XD
12?!?! never thought that should be in the range...lol
I recently learned that the youngest parents ever were 10 and 11... In China, in 1910. How did they do that, don't ask me. ^^;
And the youngest mother was a 5 year old http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/medina.asp
WHT?
What the heck...
its getting abit loli.... how bout the oldest to get pregnant? saw from wikipedia - its 66
we should thus lower the age lmiit form 12 to 5... just to be safe
Then again, i bet she was raped or something.. by a pedophile... or just really really curious, although the average age for that is kinda later.
im betting she was suffering from an extreme form of fecundity. virgin birth might be possible.
I read the 5 year old who got pregnant developed early and was probably raped by her father, but nobody came forward officially.
i heard from somewhere (cant recall where), that there are really rare cases where some of the father's soldier lay dormant within the baby girl's body. and suddenly awakes and impregnant the baby itself after some years. and of course the baby also developed early.. any doctors there to confirm?
the age limit is more of precautionary...not the standard of the youngest and oldest fertile women
Wow.. That is just soo wrong..
UNBELIEVABLE... but true...
Once in a century occurence, but my eyes still popped outta their sockets.
Insane..
Most shocking article ever read!
Wow D:
Lolwut!! Puberty at age 3??!!!!
They getting prego out in Japan at younger ages now dudes. And I've heard of Japanese women getting prego way into their 40s. The sign makes sense....
the youngest recorded pregnancy was a 5 year old Peruvian girl. Her and her baby died during the birthing process, though.
after reading the above link, she didn't die. Wow.
lol wut. The youngest I knew was 10...
According to wikipedia, she and her child are still alive.
However Wiki lies a lot so hesitate when you read it. I must say whoever gets a baby before the age of 17 must of been hit by a rapist >.> Its just weird and socially wrong to see someone as young as that having a baby. Ah well society swings in every twisted direction which can't be stopped simply.
"I must say whoever gets a baby before the age of 17 must of been hit by a rapist".... That's not necesarly true. In midlle school you can be very stupid and very horny (both males and females). Also, there are rural areas where the girls get married (and have children) at around 15 or 16.... not that I'm in favour of it, but I don't think every case should be considered "rape"
Ah yes my bad thats also true since I do occasionally see horny kids. Hate it when I think in one area.
Agreed, but surely I do not condone that kind of behavior.
Kids these days have alot of raging hormones. Heck this one 12 yr old who we consider apart of family mabye and most likely did something sexual in her life. I wouldnt be surprised.
"Mom, can I borrow your homework?"
whoa...although indirectly, this is the longest string of replies i've seen from my original comment!
Um yeah people where i live get preggo at 12 all the time... it's quite a common sight at the middle and high school in my region.
woa, for real?
The last time i checked, the legal age to have sex in Japan is 14... anyone got the recent scoop on such info? Must be because of the declining birth rates. When i got an X-ray at 11, they checked to see if i was preggo in my region.
12?! so phedo..... i thought that it will only exist on anime
At least Japan is taking a good step to check all patients for unexpected pregnancy.. Singapore could take it and implement here too..
Oookay... 12... That's just... wow...
that was so disturbing.youngest i knew was 10 and now its become 5.it must be proof that the world is coming to an end
preggers at 12? i'm not surprised. i have a few acquaintances who've done the devil's dance at that age. plus every once in a while i bump into news like this.
If anyone saw my earlier comment to the low marriage age in Japan about the Philippines having girls marrying at around 16, would probably realize some reasons to it...but marriage laws have now changed the legal marrying age to around 18 (?) (btw, this was commented that it's a rarity)Some girls are forced to marry early because they get pregnant early on either out of ignorance or yes, rape....and we're not allowed to do abortions here so yes, tis rather (un)fortunate. ** on another note, I replied earlier about the age given for the x-rays.. it's not really that safe to x-ray a baby or a very old person. it's radiation and god knows what if you get overexposed. So no, I don't think the 12-60 is merely to indicate age or the youngest/oldest pregnancy average...
x-rays + fetus = mutant kid?
If not death, yes.
well...we can think of it that way :) haha x-men anyone? But seriously, it's sometimes better to be safe ^^
really really wierd. . . .
Beginning at age 12?! That's a bit dramatic, don't you think? Oh boy, I don't want to be the nurse/doctor seeing a kid with a baby...
Well, the consent age for sex in Japan is 13-18 (based on http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm ) so I wouldn't be surprised lol.
hmm...so that explains why some doujins involving incest love has the dialogue "DON'T *** IN ME! I'LL GET PRENANT!" by young lolis and girls! Damn...better be careful from now on ^_^
I hope they don't waste their time checking the woman in the illustration. She looks like she's been pregnant for two years.
12 ??? Are u Kiddin' ? That's so youngg~ HahA
3 words: WTF? :p
Thats three letters and a punctuation mark.
They have 12 there probably because... that's probably the average minimum age when girls begin puberty But that poster is like almost 6 years old.
12 yrs is too young to have a baby and 50 seems too old to have one too. i mean by the time the lad's 70, the kid will be 20, and just out of college. parents will have to work till 73 or so till the kid can look after them.
sorry, i meant lady is 70, not lad.
The line between anime and reality is thinning out? '_'
Nope, it's that many people never heard of it/deny it.
I wonder how the doctor would go about telling a 12-year old girl that he/she is going to check her for signs of pregnancy before an x-ray. My gut feeling says that he/she would simply say "Okay, before we go for an x-ray, do this."
How sad isn't that, I wonder if it's normal for a 12 year old girl to be pregnant or if there has been alot of cases? I guess, none. Sick.
I think this is an acceptable idea. Checking 12 year olds is kind of young, but to each his own I guess.
I guess it would depend on the region and people. If the average lifespan is really low, it may be the only way for those ppl to survive. Not that i'm condoning 5 yr olds should be getting pregnant.
Yeah, I can believe that. When I went to a hospital when I was 11 for an X-ray on my hand, they asked me if I was sexually active or pregnant.
Not surprised by this, living in Brazil and all. I've seen on the news, lots of girls ranging from 9 to 12, pregnant.
Something is really wrong there XD
