Kelly Healey Holds The Record For Being Britain's Youngest Gran At Just 30 Years Old

Kelly has five children of her own, and Kelly’s own mother was still only 48, making her one of the youngest great-grandmothers in the country.

Mum-of-five Kelly said: “I never expected to be a nan in my mid-20s. But there was no point in yelling at Skye about birth control and safe sex. What has been done has been done."

“All I could do was offer love and support. As a mother, you just take care of those things.”

The teenager did not discover she was expecting until she was 36 weeks and four days pregnant.

Skye who was living with her dad and step-mum at the time in Cranford, West London, had started having sex, so asked her stepmom if she could go on the contraceptive implant.

Before getting an appointment at the sexual health clinic, as a precaution, she took a digital pregnancy test which revealed she was ‘four-plus weeks’ pregnant.

Skye remembers: “I was stunned. I had a secret feeling I might be pregnant which is why I’d suggested the test. The dad is a local lad around my own age.

"My periods had always been up and down, so I didn’t think much of it when I missed them. My step-mum was very calm but took me straight to the GP."

“Working back from my last period, they incorrectly said I was likely to be 25 weeks pregnant.”

The doctor immediately referred Skye to West Middlesex Hospital, Isleworth, West London for scans, and there it was discovered she had less than four weeks to go.

Skye says: “I couldn’t believe it. I was potentially days off becoming a mum. Just weeks earlier I had been doing PE and climbing up and down hills."

“Of course, finding out I was pregnant so late meant abortion wasn’t an option. But I couldn’t have done that anyway. Seeing my baby’s heartbeat on the screen, my heart filled with love."

"I knew from that point onwards I would always take second place, and my baby boy would take first.”

And Kelly, from West London, said she has now got to grips with being a young nan.

She said: “I act like I’m in my early 20s, so it doesn’t feel right to be a granny.

“My friends think it’s hilarious I’ve got a grandson. He’s always getting mistaken for my son. 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.”
