UK's youngest mother ever gives birth to second child

Britain's youngest-ever mother who had a daughter aged 12 after being raped by her brother has revealed the 'bittersweet experience' of giving birth to another child.Tressa Middleton, 24, of Bathgate, Scotland, was raped by her then 16-year-old brother Jason at the age of just 11.When her baby girl was two she was forced to give her away after authorities found out the shocking truth.The decision to reveal her secret and allow her daughter to be taken into care haunted her, spiralling into a deep depression and heroin addiction.But in October last year she and her fiance Darren Young, 31, welcomed their daughter Arihanna into the world.Now her treasured second child has arrived, Tressa knows she should be happier than ever - but without her other daughter, the experience has been bittersweet.She said: 'I felt pure joy the moment Arihanna was born.There were times I thought I'd never have another baby, like it wasn't meant to be.'But I also feel so guilty, because Arihanna is with me and my older daughter is not.'She is still the first thing I think about every morning and the last thing I think about at night.'I love her so much and I'll always be her mum.I can't be properly happy without her.It breaks my heart that Arihanna will grow up without knowing her big sister.' Tressa and Darren Young welcomed 8lb 1oz Arihanna in October last year, after she endured a gruelling 24-hour labour.Speaking about her new arrival for the first time, the 24-year-old revealed she is desperate for her girls to meet when they are older.Baby pictures of her first daughter still adorn the walls of her home in Bathgate, West Lothian, and she has kept handprints, baby clothes and a lock of her hair.She said: 'Arihanna will always know she has a big sister.I talk to her about it now, even though she can't understand.She'll never be a secret.'They are polar opposites - Arihanna is smiley and contented, while my other daughter was vocal and feisty - but I just know they'd get on.'I tell Arihanna that if her sister was here, they'd play games together.I joke Arihanna would follow her around and they'd probably annoy each other.'I really hope that one day they can meet.It would mean the world to me.' Tressa is determined to give little Arihanna the happy childhood she so desperately craved.Her mother, Tracey Tallons, struggled with drink and drug addiction and, as a toddler, Tressa cried because she couldn't sleep through parties which stretched into the early hours.She was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her brother from the age of seven and just four years later, she fell pregnant after he raped her.Tressa and her baby were taken into care when she gave birth aged 12.She said: 'All I want is for Arihanna to have a normal childhood, where she knows she is loved and safe.'I loved my mum and she tried her best with us but she struggled.At times, I just wanted a routine, to watch TV and go to bed on time like other families.'I couldn't talk to her about everything
