Tressa Middleton, who became Britain’s youngest known mother when she gave birth at just 12 years old, has announced that she is expecting her fourth child.

Now 29, Tressa shared the news on social media by posting an ultrasound image, revealing she is pregnant with another baby girl. “So guys, it’s another girl!!” she wrote. “Four girls, I can’t believe it. Good luck, Darren.”

Her latest pregnancy comes 17 years after she first made national headlines as a child herself, following the birth of her first daughter.

Tressa’s early life was marked by extreme hardship. Growing up in an unstable household affected by substance abuse, she experienced a deeply traumatic childhood. She became pregnant at 11 and gave birth the following year, shortly after leaving primary school.

After the birth, Tressa struggled with her mental health and addiction, which eventually led to her losing custody of her first child, who was later adopted.

For several years, the identity of the baby’s father was not made public. In 2009, Tressa revealed that she had been abused by her older brother from a young age. He was later convicted and sentenced to prison.

In interviews years later, Tressa spoke about the pressure and manipulation she experienced during that time, describing how threats and coercion were used against her.

In the years since, she has worked to rebuild her life and overcome addiction. Her journey has been long and difficult, but she has continued to move forward.

Tressa was considered Britain’s youngest mother until 2011, when reports emerged of an 11-year-old girl giving birth. That child’s identity was protected, though it was later reported that she too had been abused and was receiving professional support.

Stories like these have sparked wider discussions in the UK about child protection, trauma, and the importance of long-term support for young victims and parents.
