This story is crazy, i still find it unbelievable that a Five year old girl could conceive a child.....if you are as shocked as i am then join the club.
Lina Medina (born September 27, 1933) is a Peruvian
woman who is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history, giving birth at
the age of five years, seven months and 17 days. She lives in Lima, the capital
of Peru.
Born in Ticrapo, Peru, to silversmith Tiburelo Medina and Victoria Losea, Medina was brought to a hospital by her parents at the age of five years due to increasing abdominal size. She was originally thought to have had a tumor, but her doctors determined she was in her seventh month of pregnancy. Dr. Gerardo Lozada took her to Lima, Peru, to have other specialists confirm that Medina was pregnant.
Her case was reported in detail by Dr. Edmundo Escomel in the medical journal La Presse Médicale, including the additional details that her menarche had occurred at eight months of age, in contrast to a past report stating that she had been having regular periods since she was three years old (or 2½ according to a different article).
