Meet The 5-year-old Who Became The Youngest Mother In History by Jeniemax: 10:13am On Jul 01, 2020
Precocious puberty made it possible for 5-year-old Lina Medina of Peru to get pregnant and produce a bouncing baby boy. This scenario has remained a mystery, especially in medical history.

It was in April 1939, when Lina Medina’s mother took her to the hospital in Pisco, Peru, to see the renowned Dr. Gerardo Lozada for help. The poor woman noticed her daughter’s protruding belly, and as someone who lived in a remote village on the Andes, she looked worried.

The baby was born through a cesarean section because her pelvis was immature to support the natural birth of the child. Everything went well as the mother, and the baby was in perfect condition.
