A mother-of-five who became Britain’s youngest grandmother after her 14-year-old daughter gave birth has revealed it ‘doesn’t feel right being a granny’.

Kelly Healey was only 30 when her teenage daughter Skye Salter gave birth to Bailey, now three, in August 2018.

Kelly found out about the pregnancy when her daughter was 36 weeks into it. Kelly decided to be a loving and supporting mom rather than going off on her daughter about getting pregnant at such a young age.

She happily accepted her new role as a grandmother when he grandson, Bailey, was born.

Kelly Healey, speaking to The Sun, talked about how it changed her life:

Speaking to The Sun, she said: ‘I never expected to find out I would become a nan while still in my 20s.

‘But there was no point in yelling at Skye about contraception and safe sex. What was done was done.

‘All I could do was offer love and support. As a mum you just deal with these things.

Skye was living with her step-mother and father in Cranford, West London, when she did a digital test out of the blue and found out she was expecting in 2018.

She was quickly referred to West Middlesex Hospital in Isleworth where she had an ultrasound and doctors revealed she was already 36 weeks and four days pregnant.

The teenager had been s.e.x.ually active and did the test as a precaution before making an appointment to get the contraceptive implant.

Skye was left in shock the news and was told by medics that ‘an abortion was not an option’ because she found out about the pregnancy so late.

Skye added that she was shocked by the thought of becoming a mom, noting that a few weeks earlier, she had been actively engaged in sporting activities with friends and couldn’t believe the quick turn of events.

Before realizing she was pregnant. Skye had some signs but didn’t think much of it. She had missed her periods, but according to her, her periods had been inconsistent, so she never assumed that was a sign.

Hearing her baby’s heartbeat during the ultrasound filled Salter’s heart with love for her unborn child, and she realized she would not have been able to have an abortion even if it were possible. Being a mom has become exciting. She knew she had another human to prioritize before herself.

Meanwhile, Ms Healey revealed that her own mother doesn’t feel ‘ready’ being a great-grandmother at just 48.

She told the newspaper: I’m not sure my mum was ready to be a great-gran at 48, though. I think that makes her the youngest great-gran in the UK, too.’
