Kericho: A Teenage Girl Delivers Hours To Her English Exam Paper.

The young mother gave birth to her baby just before beginning the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam. The student from Laliat Secondary School gave birth to a healthy baby girl at Kericho County Referral Hospital.

Several hours later, the 18-year-old mother was prepared to take her final secondary school national exam. Being a new mother, she took her first two exams, English and Chemistry, at the hospital’s maternity unit.

An 18-year-old student from Laliat Secondary School in Kericho county gave birth to a healthy baby girl and underwent a caesarean section at Kericho County Referral Hospital, before sitting for her first two exams hours later.

The young girl was quickly taken to Kericho County Referral Hospital for a life-threatening condition, but it was discovered that her lovely baby girl was eager to make her entrance on the same day as the KCSE exams.

She arrived with a condition known as fetal distress, leading to her being brought to our operating room for a caesarean section. According to the supervisor at Kericho County Referral Hospital, a baby girl weighing 2.8kg was born.

“She came with a condition termed as fetal distress, which made her be taken to our theatre and undergo the caesarean section. She gave birth to a baby girl weighing 2.8kg,”  Kericho County Referral Hospital supervisor said.
