Darya fell pregnant at 13. Now 14, she has just given birth to a baby she says was fathered by her 10-year-old boyfriend.
The 13-year-old girl who claimed she had fallen pregnant with her 10-year-old “boyfriend” has given birth to a baby girl.
Russian teenager Darya Sudnishnikova posted the news to her 350,000 followers on social media, including 150,000 on Instagram, saying she went through a “tough” delivery.
Darya, who is now 14, initially claimed the father of her child was Ivan, who is now 11 years old.
Later, reports in the Russian media said Darya had confessed to making up the story about Ivan to hide the fact that she had been forced to have sex with a 15-year-old boy.
Then, in April, she went back to her original story, saying Ivan was indeed the father and reports that she had been raped by the 15-year-old were “nonsense.”
The story has made headlines in Russia and around the world, as Darya posted pictures of her pregnancy to social media and admitted she was “terrified” of giving birth.
Police are still investigating the case and are expected to take a DNA sample from the newborn girl.
On Instagram, Darya wrote that Ivan would take over “fatherhood” of the baby when he turned 16, “but it depends on how everything goes with us.”
The baby has not yet been pictured or revealed, but she weighed 3.6 kg.
“That’s it, I gave birth to a girl at 10 a.m.,” Darya posted to Instagram on Sunday.
“It was tough, I’ll tell you everything later. I’m having a rest now.”
The schoolgirl gave birth in a perinatal clinic in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia.
