A 15-year-old girl in the U.S. was shocked to learn that she was pregnant after she thought she had a bulging belly and thought she was lactose intolerant.

Lactose intolerance refers to a symptom in which the body lacks enzymes that break down lactose (lactose) and thus has difficulty digesting lactose-rich foods such as milk.

When a lactose intolerant patient consumes an excessive amount of lactose, a large amount of gas may be generated, resulting in bloating, purring, abdominal bloating, and diarrhea.



Sophia, 16, of Santa Cruz, California, was pregnant while attending school last year, according to foreign media such as the Daily Mail.

Sophia, who often felt a stomach ache and tired every morning, thought it was because of lactose intolerance she had been suffering for years.



However, as the symptoms continued, she went to the hospital and found out that she was pregnant.

She said on social media that `I never dreamed of getting pregnant,' `I thought it was because I usually eat a lot of dairy products.'



When the family learned of the pregnancy, they were shocked and embarrassed, but gradually began to support and support the girl and her boyfriend.

Currently, he has a son and communicates with netizens on TikTok with his boyfriend under the theme of 'the daily life of a young mother'

As the news spread, conflicting positions are emerging online.

Netizens are encouraging comments such as "'I'm proud of you at a young age' and "'I wish you a great mother', but it's shocking that you're pregnant at the age of 15.'" It is also posting critical comments such as that.
