I surfed all the web till found the best searcher. Films, picts, mp3’s, videos and lots more at http://newfileengine.com/

tell me this..

some of you people think that by CBB posting a 16 year old having a child that it will influence a young person having a child as well. WELL dont you think that you should go a step ahead.. if they are on a PREGNANCY website, don’t you think they’re alread influenced?!?!? so CBB posting a story about a CELEB being pregnant on THEIR CELEB PREGNANCY site perfectly ok.

Keisha Castle-Hughes is actually an Australian with Maori heritage – just to point that out for everyone who keeps on about her being Maori and her being pregnant is ‘acceptable’ in her culture.
I can’t remember her ‘flaunting’ her pregnancy or trying to get publicity out of it. Of course, I may be wrong in assuming Keisha didn’t ask to have her photo taken during a family event, and having that photo broadcast over the internet?
People seem to assume that she planned her pregnancy, that it was a conscious decision for her to have a child at 16 years of age. She is no different to any other woman who has become pregnant and decided to have the child. She doesn’t deserve to be criticised by people who want to project their values onto her.
At least she has a partner to share the responsibility with, and her child will not grow up without a dad.
Leave her alone!

i think keisha is very mature for her age. i have seen her in interviews and although she acts 16 she really acts like a person in their 20s! i say she is mature enough to be a mother! more mature than britney spears! (put it in perspective!) its about maturity, NOT age!!! she is way more mature than i was at her age!

go keisha!

Ash – just wanted to point out that the “ideal” age for a woman to have a child is 23-24. Doctors did a study, and it was determined that when you’re a teenager, your bones and body are still growing and taking shape, but by the time you reach 23, you’re physically mature enough to carry a baby without subjecting your own body to health risks like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes (which tend to affect very young and very old mothers generally).

This has nothing to do with the Keisha story, but I just wanted to clarify misinformation. Personally, I think 16 is not emotionally mature enough to care for a child full-time, because you’re not through adolescence yet and are prone to mood swings, but it happens every day – and like some others said, is very common in Maori culture. I wish her all the luck in the world.

Katie-

Biologically-speaking (and you should know this if you’ve studied science), most women’s bodies are developed enough by the age of 16 to be pregnant and give birth. That’s a fact. Our bodies were designed to give birth in our late-teens to early 20′s. Of course, not everyone is able to become a mother at such a young age (especially since, in most societies, you have to earn an education and establish some financial stability first). But in biological terms, there is nothing wrong with being pregnant at 16. Being pregnant at say, 13 years old, would be a totally different story though.

I also can’t believe some of the comments that are being posted. Everyone has a right to their opinion but not one of us knows Keisha or her family or situation.

I find it offensive that several posts have referred to her ‘mistake’ in becoming pregnant – we don’t know if the baby was planned or not! Comments about the need for further education on birth control (however appropriate in general) are irrelevant as again – we don’t know Keisha or if the baby was planned.

I personally find Karen’s comment offensive and judgemental.

While I was glad to see a photo of Keisha, I find it worrying that a mother-to-be is stalked at her mother’s home for exclusive pregnancy photos.

CBB should post info on a celeb baby-to-be. Like Sarah from CBB wrote, they aren’t here to editorialise, they just inform us of celeb baby news.

I wish Keisha, her partner and their baby all the best.

I find some of the comments on here horrifying. It’s a proven fact that having a baby when you’re not physically ready (hello you’re still growing when you’re a teenager) can be dangerous not to mention that the child has a more likelihood of having developmental disabilities. So, I don’t think this is something that should be praised. But I guess since she is a celebrity so you should be able to post news about her, but still this is strange.

She is of a different culture. In other societies it is quite common for girls as young as 16 to have children. I believe there was a post on CBB about this many months ago when she first announced her pregnancy. So while many people feel that it is wrong to be posting pictures of a “baby having a baby” to the Maorin society it might not seem that way at all. I’m not saying I agree with a 16 year old having a baby but I’d say less judgement and take a look at the entire picture.

keisha is less than bright for getting pregnant so young. i mean, how difficult is it to use birth control?
and to those of you who became parents at that age and list all of the people in your family who also became teenage parents, it’s interesting how you never learn from each other’s mistakes.
that said, i don’t care what becomes of keisha castle hughes and neither should any of you.
