History Repeats Itself As Mother Who Gave Birth At 16 welcomes Grandchild From Daughter Who Is 17

History repeats itself: Corrie Rowland, 33, is pictured with her pregnant daughter Bethany, 17, before she became a grandmother. Bethany gave birth to a baby boy last week

She is one of Britain’s youngest grandmothers. Just like she shocked her parents 17 years ago to get pregnant at 15 and gave birth at 16, her daughter has also shocked her by welcoming a baby boy last week at 17. Their lives in pictures below...

While friends spent their Saturday nights partying, Corrie says she was trying to soothe a screaming baby. She has become one of Britain's youngest grandmothers after her daughter Bethany gave birth last week

Corrie said after she had Bethany she plummeted into despair, feeling out of her depth and frequently bursting into tears. Looking back, she says she had post-natal depression, although she never went to see her GP

Taken by surprise: The 33-year-old said she had absolutely no idea how tough raising a baby would be. She is pictured left and right in 1998 when she was pregnant with Bethany.

The new grandmother said she had hoped Bethany - who was studying art at college but dropped out shortly after discovering she was pregnant - would have a successful career. Bethany is pictured at one week old.
