Lina Medina becomes the youngest confirmed mother

May 14th, 1939 85 years ago

Lina Medina, born in 1933 in Peru, gave birth at the age of five, becoming the youngest confirmed mother in medical history. Her case was discovered when her parents took her to a hospital in Puno due to abdominal swelling, where doctors initially suspected a tumor. Instead, they found she was pregnant. The birth occurred through a Cesarean section since her pelvic bones were not fully developed. Lina's son was named Gerardo and was born healthy.
