 A woman has become one of the UK's youngest grandmothers at the age of just 34 – and she looks so young that she still gets asked for ID. Rachel McIntyre welcomed her first grandchild at the end of July and shared the happy news on social media, where users claimed that she looked far too young to be a granny.Others congratulated her on what they assumed to be her newborn. Rachel, from Edinburgh, fell pregnant for the first time when she was 15, and last year, her daughter revealed she was pregnant aged 17. Despite being a young mum herself, the 34-year-old said she was 'very shocked' by the news, because she knows how difficult being a teen mum can be. 'But once it sunk in, I started getting excited,' said Rachel, who is a model and OnlyFans content creator. 'I knew that I was obviously going to support her as well. 'People don't even believe I'm my daughter's mum. They look at me in complete shock when I tell them. They're like, 'Wait, are you not sisters? When I say I'm a granny too, it's even more of a shock.

It's annoying, but it's a bit of a compliment too.' While Rachel is enjoying settling into her new role as a granny after her granddaughter's birth on July 25, she admitted that it was stressful watching her young daughter in labour. The mum-of-two, who also has another daughter, aged 10, added: 'It was quite traumatising to see your daughter go through something like that at 17. The labour was a bit horrific, but thankfully my granddaughter is such a good baby. 'She doesn't really cry. She just makes noises when she's hungry and eats and sleeps.' 'I don't think there's any downsides to being a granny at 34.' (Picture: @rachelmcintyre6/Caters) Rachel said the biggest upside to being a young gran is that she is young a){kind=link}
