World’s Youngest Mother: 5 Year Old Lina Medina Gave Birth To A Baby..SEE PHOTOs

Lina Medina youngest confirmed mother: Lina was five years, seven
months, and 21 days old at the time of Gerardo's birth — the youngest
mother on record.
Lina Medina's parents were worried. Lina, one of nine children in this
poor family of the Peruvian Andes, had a seemingly inexplicable
abdominal growth — which was growing larger by the week.
Fearing she had cancer, Lina's parents brought her to the doctor. The
Peruvian girl was cancer-free; she was, however, seven months
pregnant.
Six weeks later, on May 14, 1939, Lina gave birth via Cesarean section
to baby Gerardo, who weighed six pounds at birth.
In performing the c-section, doctors noted that Lina had gone through
puberty at a very early age, called "precocious puberty." Researchers
further pieced together shocking details of Lina's ascent into
"adulthood": she had developed mature breasts by age four and had her
first menstrual cycle at two and a half (with some reports suggesting
that her first period came at the age of eight months).
She's never revealed the identity of Gerardo's father — and, in fact,
may not know who it is; the doctor who delivered Gerardo noted that
Lina's mastery of the details of her pregnancy was fleeting, due in
part to her young age. But the pregnancy was definitely real.
One photograph of the pregnant five year old exists (available here)
and scores of evidence — x-rays, doctors notes, biopsies, etc. — exist
proving the pregnancy and delivery to be true. After she gave birth,
she appeared in a photo with her doctor and son, seen above.
Lina and her parents ended up raising Gerardo. Until he was ten
Gerardo believed she was his older sister, but around that age he was
informed that Lina was, in fact, her mother. For her part, Lina is
otherwise healthy and still alive today, albeit in incredibly poor
conditions. She married later in life and, in 1972, had another son.
Gerardo died in 1979, at age 40, of a bone marrow disease unrelated to
his mother's age at his birth.
