The youngest mother in the world was only 5 years old when she gave birth
Youngest mother
Lina Medina (born September 27, 1933 in Paurange in Peru) gave birth at the age of 5 years, 7 months and 21 days and is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history.
Lina’s parents brought her to the hospital because of her increasing abdominal size. They thought she had a tumor, but in the hospital it was quickly clear that she was pregnant. A month later, at May 14 1939, her son was born by a caesarean section necessitated by her small pelvis.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Lozada and Dr. Busalleu, with Dr. Colretta providing anaesthesia. Before the operation, Dr. Lozada had brought her to the hospital in Lima to check whether Lina was really pregnant or not.
The case of Lina is well registered by Dr. Edmundo Escomel in La Presse Medicale.
Her son weighed 2.7 kg (6 lb) 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.
Lina her menarche had occurred at 8 months of age, and she had had prominent breast development by the age of 4. By age 5 her figure displayed pelvic widening and advanced bone maturation.
The pregnancy was the youngest pregnancy in the world.
