MEXICAN GIRL, 8, GIVES BIRTH TO BABY

An eight-year-old girl has given birth to a healthy boy, a spokesman for the National Medical Center of the West hospital has confirmed.

Both the mother and the baby are in "perfect condition," after the delivery by Caesarian section Tuesday in the Guadalajara hospital, Dr. Ever Rodriguez Arias said Wednesday.

The baby weighed 7.04 pounds and was delivered after a normal nine-month pregnancy, he said.

The girl comes from northern Mexico, and the parents didn't want her name released, he said. But the news agency Excelsior gave the girl's name as Zulma Guadalupe Morales.
