According to Wikipedia:
Lina Medina (born September 27, 1933) is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history, giving birth at the age of 5 years, 7 months and 21 days.
Born in Peru, Lina was brought to a hospital by her parents at the age of 5 years because of 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, prior to the surgery to have other specialists confirm that Lina was in fact pregnant. A month and a half later, on May 14, 1939, she gave birth to a boy by a caesarean section necessitated by her small pelvis. The surgery was performed by Dr. Lozada and Dr. Busalleu, with Dr. Colretta providing anaesthesia. Her case was reported in detail by Dr. Edmundo Escomel to La Presse Medicale, along with the additional details that her menarche had occurred at 8 months of age (or 2 1/2 according to a different article[1]), and that she had had prominent breast development by the age of 4. By age 5 her figure displayed pelvic widening and advanced bone maturation.
Her son weighed 2.7 kg (6.0 lb/0.43 st) at birth and was named Gerardo after her doctor. Gerardo was raised believing that Lina was his sister, but found out at the age of ten that she was his mother. He grew up healthy but died in 1979 at the age of 40 of a disease of the bone marrow.

wow! Unbelievable.
this story are not amazing and interesting like author claimed.
this is a stupidity of human like animal.
i'm very sorry to that girl. she is innocent
the post is amazing in the sense that one can give birth at such an early age. it's one of a kind in human history.
but the thing about rape perpetrated to the child is awful.
so technically she's gone though puberty at age 4? c'mon...
Hmm.... I don't know.. What I know is, a girl is able to bear a child when she started her monthly period, and that's when a girl is able to get preggy. so how could a 4 year old do that?!
I WANT TO KNOW WHO BONED HER!!!
who was the man that made all this happen how was the baby conceved
i would totally hit that.
what was she thinkin
That may be interesting, but it is also awful, how anybody could think that is incredible in a good way, I have no idea. The poor girl, what an awful experience!
Wow. That is unbelievably strange. That poor girl, having to go through something as painful as giving birth! Why, when I find that *%^&$* creep who did that to her......
thats definitely possible for her to go through puberty early. on House M.D. one time, a 6 year old girl was going through early puberty.
I stumbled apon this by accedent and thinks it is unbelievable! However it is documented,and why were there no other questions asked? who was the father? (obviously her own father) why was he not prosicuted? what ever happened to her? what was her life like after? Horrible and terriably SAD!
How could she have gone through puberty that fast? Possibly a birth defect, but it still seems phony. And also, where'd the sperm come from? Unless some of these answers are presented, this myth looks BUSTED.
Who in there right mind would have SEX with a five year old. SHe must have been Raped!!!!!!! thats the meanest thing in the world there is no way i would let my 5 year old have a baby or even let anyone touch her in anyway like that i would kill someone she is just a baby herself
people should really read over the article before they comment for some have stated questions that have already been answered in the text
I'm from Peru... I remember seeing a documentary when I was a child about this... I couldnt believe it...
It was a really incredible and sad story... I think at that time... the girl was still alive... they tried to talk with her but she refused to attend them... It seemed that she just wanted to be forgotten
also, I think they never knew who his father was (or so I cant remember)
It was very interesting for me to read this post. Thanks for it. I like such themes and anything that is connected to them. I would like to read a bit more soon.
what the hellllllllllllllllllllll i bet her daddy raped her.c'mon 5yrs. old in peru.think about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is disgusts me. Young girls as i am, are giving birth, when they are not old enough to understand the responsability.
wat an awful story!! im only 12- and couldnt imagine giving birth at 5!!i didnt even know wat the sex was at the time!much less where babys come from
why is it that we believe that a young 15 year old virgin can give birth to a healthy baby but we cannot believe that a 5 year old can??? perhaps this is iggnorance. stranger things have happened then a 5 year old giving birth!! i believe this before i believe a virgin giving birth!!
Poor child! My daughter will be five this year and I could never imagine...ugh! They said the father went to jail for a while until he was released due to lack of evidence? That doesn't sound like they took a blood test or anything. Otherwise it would have said he had been ruled out by the DNA results. Order a blood test!!!! Whatever dirty dog that did that to that poor child should be punished! DISGUSTING
OMG listen to your self's!! If you actually read the post, this has claimed to have happened in the 1930's. Nothing would and could help find out how this happened if its true.
And yes I do find it interesting.
This poor child was a victim of either rape or child molestation! Who else would have sex with a five year old child!
Hahaha! I just thought of something...her daughter would probably ride the bus to school with her....awkward lol.
Holy shit! I can't believe somebody would do that to her! She was five. I can understand that she had early development, but I can't believe that son of a b*tch would do that.
I had my first period when I turned 11. My mom thought that was way too young. She was wrong. I feel so bad for her. She was raped! I didn't even know what sex was until I was 10. I did know where babies came from when I was 7. It is difficult for me to imagine a five year old giving birth. She is just a baby herself. I have heard a lot of bad things and that may haunt me forever.
I can just depict a five year old crying and screaming while that little baby boy was being pushed out from her vagina. I thought my period would kill me, but to a five year old that is just plain wrong.
Cheers to the author of this blog!
Read the date on the article. The girl was born in 1933 which means this happened in 1938. Thats why no blood tests were ordered. They didn't have that technology. I'm most sure this was not consensual.
This isnt that hard to believe and no its not fake like some of you idiots think. She had a REAL and DOCUMENTED condition called Precocious Puberty. This is where girls begin puberty well before the age of 10 or 11. Its also been documented in boys. She had her first cycle before she as a year old and has breast developing soon there after. Yes, it is amazing what the human body can do but we also have to realize this is a tragedy. Someone sexually assaulted this girl and she probably didnt even realize what happened or who did it, which is sad. Also she wouldnt have been able to teach the boy much of anything since they are in the same age range/school. How's she suppose to teach him about puberty or school or life when they have the same amount of life experience. This is just sad. As i said i dont know why people are so shocked. Girls 10 and 11 have kids all the time in the U.S. and they have the same condition but somehow that's normal, right? This is just amazing because there has never been another case with a girl this young. The next yougest group of girls were 8 yrs old and because there is such a gap and this happened in the 1930's, THAT is hat makes it amazing.
who da baby daddy???
I was told about this in a growth and development class in highschool, she was raped by an uncle from what I remember
Ammm.... People? In order to have a baby, you gotta have sex. Who the hell had sexual intercourse with a 4 year-old( she was 2 months away from her 5th birthday) ?!?!?!?
Who got her knocked up? That's freeaakky!
Fuck this entire world.
and the next, life can kiss my whole ass miracle of life pfft my balls.
she first got her period when she was 8 months old, and i think her dad got her pregnant.
How would she have gotten pegnant, did she go thru puberty??????
Did any body acually think that that little girl wanted to get pregant? I mean really how come people just asoom she wanted a baby. I mean when I was 5 I wanted a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the legs dont match up with the rest of the boddy cleary this documented photo is a fake.....the shit idiots fall for these days...its tru a child can have puberty early 6 or seven is the earlyest tho not 4 you idiots
I think it's ridiculous :O I don't believe it anyway.
oh my god! that is just so... sad,strange,unbelievable,and yes quite incredible if a 5 yr old can give birth. i wonder who the father was. how could they have not known right away that she was pregnant?i suppose b/c she was 5 but still any pregnany is quite obvious and how can a tumor grow so large so quickly anyway? poor girl probably didnt even know what was happening to her. ugh the thought of such a thing happening to someone so young.sad.
people have sex with babies every day-----its called CHILD MOLEST!!!!!! This is so sad.
@New Trendy
"stupidity of human like animal"? You sound like a stupidity of human like animal. She had puberty at a very early age...
And for those that say, "how could a 4 year old do that?!" Of course common 4 year olds cannot do that. Puberty and pregnancy at that age is extremely rare. So to the people that say about that, think first! This does not happen to every girl!
all the info is here! So it's definitely NOT a myth. It's 100% real. http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/medina.asp
This is such a sin
We hear of cases all the time of people raping & molesting children as young as months old. So not hard to believe someone would take advantage of this child.
Also younger & younger women are going through puberty, i.e. i was 9; i have a cousin who was 8. (by puberty i mean developed breast & menstrual cycle.
One more a menstrual is not necessary for pregnancy. While in HS we were told by chicks who were 16 & up who thought they couldn't get preggo because they hadn't had periods.
So, very possible. & another proof that that people are sick to mess w/children. Sucks had to happen, would've been only better to have happened now, so we could get the SOB who had the nerve.
This is sad. You know she couldn't do that on her own. I smell pedophileeee.
It's really not so shocking,at the age of 5 I was having sex with a 12 year old girl.

To be a upright human being is to have a amiable of openness to the far-out, an ability to guardianship aleatory things beyond your own pilot, that can front you to be shattered in very exceptionally circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very weighty thither the condition of the righteous passion: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a prize, something kind of tenuous, but whose extremely item attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
I am the father
it is hard too believe but i watched a documentry about it on the TV and it is true that a girl this age gave birth. What i cant get my head around is why some sadistic person would have sex with a girl this age, he must of been raped as a child for his mind to have him going ahead and doing that, but when you thing about it that guy must have one small penis unless, he is one of the most twisted people ever born and had a wank looking at her then decided too cum up her. :)) the guy is a freak whatever way you look at it:)) --- Glasgow Boyz1 ---
omg,omg...that's just grose..she's too young!!!
In the whole world's time, at some occasion, our inner foment goes out. It is then bust into flame at hand an be faced with with another magnanimous being. We should all be glad quest of those people who rekindle the inner inclination
In the whole world's existence, at some time, our inner throw goes out. It is then burst into passion at near an be faced with with another benign being. We should all be thankful for the duration of those people who rekindle the inner transport
A untroubled beloved maturity is the reward of a well-spent youth. Rather than of its bringing sad and woebegone prospects of degenerate, it would hand out us hopes of timeless stripling in a better world.
Pretty cool site you've got here. Thanx for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to this matter. I would like to read more soon.

I would like to read more on that site soon. BTW, pretty good design this site has, but what do you think about changing it from time to time?
I'm 10 years old and cannot believe this. I may be 10 but I know it's painful because I seen my sister go through it when she was 23, now my sister is 25 or 26 and my nephew is 2. I did research about pregnancy and it is 100% perventable so beware!
I am at a loss of words of what to say. I kept rewriting this like 15 times!!!! I do not know what that girl was thinking... or she got raped. I mean I am 32 and my daughter is 12. Her dating is scary, let alone having a baby!
hahaha that bitch got raped
wel i dnt believe dat cox ther is no much prove abt her pregrancy ad hw she gav birth by dat age
C'mon, who raped this girl? Anybody know?
Every aspect is real. She was born in september 1933 and gave birth in may 1939 (4 months before her 6th bday). She had precocious puberty (caused by a disease or tumor when she was in the womb) at 8 months old. The father of her baby is unknown. e birth in may 1939 (4 months before her 6th bday). She had precocious puberty (caused by a disease or tumor when she was in the womb) at 8 months old. The father of her baby is unknown.
For those who are wondering as to who the baby daddy is? It was reported they put her OWN FATHER into prison but soon released him due to lack of evidence. This totally annoys me since WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST ASK THE GIRL???
Sometimes I think (no, ALL the time, that some of the people who write these comments are absolutely devoid of brains. If they took the time to read the story, then they wouldn't make so many idiotic errors.Anyway, you can count me out, as the daddy. She gave birth in May 1939. I was born in June 1939.It wasn't me, judge, honest.
Show some respect
I hope you die
It's downright awful ! That poor girl can't stand how men go after the most vulnerable!
how did she get pregnant? did her dad rape her?
