Shocking Fact😱
The Youngest mother in the World
In 1939, a healthy young girl named Lina Medina gave birth to an equally healthy baby boy. The only noteworthy detail about this event was the mother's age: she was five years old.
In the early spring of 1939, parents in a remote village in Peru noticed that their 5-year-old daughter’s belly became enlarged. Fearful that the continual swelling was a sign of an abdominal tumor, Tiburelo Medina and Victoria Losea took their little girl from the family’s home in Ticrapo to a doctor far away in Lima.
To their shock and horror, the doctor discovered that their daughter, Lina Medina, was seven months pregnant. Just six weeks later on May 14, 1939, Medina gave birth via c-section to a healthy, six-pound baby boy. At 5 years, seven months, and 21 days of age, she became the youngest girl known to have given birth.
Medina has never revealed the father was.
