Crawley, England -- A pregnant 12-year-old girl has told how she decided against an abortion after seeing her baby's image during a scan.
Amy Crowhurst, who is expecting a baby boy next spring, said: "I went to the hospital and we did a mini scan and a normal scan."
"I saw the baby on the screen and thought 'no, it's too far gone', so me and my mum decided to keep it."
Amy, of Crawley, West Sussex, England became pregnant five-and-a-half months ago after meeting a boy at a youth club.
She told ITV1's Tonight With Trevor McDonald: "We both wanted to do it, so we did it."
Amy said how she found out she was pregnant: "We were in town one day and I hadn't eaten or drunk anything, so when I collapsed in the post office and I hadn't had a period for a few months... My mum put two and two together."
The baby will be brought up alongside Amy's five-month-old brother, Momodou, one of her eight siblings.
"I look after my brother sometimes, so she (her mother Rose) will be helping me with mine and I'll be helping her with hers."
Her mother admits she was angry at first "and I was just screaming and shouting at her". But, having accepted the pregnancy, she said: "All I can do is be there for Amy."
She added: "Basically half of Amy's childhood has just gone. So where she would have been going out to local discos at 16... she's now got to think of her baby."

MOMODU?????
Most of the people who've ever been born have been poor.
And only a fool would argue that 'poor folks' don't frequently have damn 'poor ways'.
But being born to a mother who's poor, or ignorant, or trashy, or a little too hot to trot should never be a reason to be murdered.
I hope the young girl someday recieves a good turn in life to reward her for doing the right thing.
And I hope that she doesn't name her boy Moogabooga.
I think she needs more sex education. You have to do more than "meet" boys to get pregnant.
Sorry, ain't got it. This story came to me by way of ProLife InfoNet, and they are always a 100% credible source, but I tried several searches on Ananova and didn't hit it.
