Lina Medina officially became the youngest confirmed mother in medical history, aged five years, seven months and 21 days. ~

In 1933, Lina Medina was born in Ticrapo, Peru. 

At the age of five, Lina was brought to the hospital by her parents complaining of extreme abdominal growth. 

She was originally thought to have a tumor, but doctors later determined that the child was seven months pregnant. 

On May 14, 1939, Lina Medina gave birth to a baby boy. The child was delivered by way of caesarean section, as Lina’s pelvis was too small to perform a natural birth. 

Her son was named Gerardo, and weighed 2.7 kg (6.0 lb). Lina Medina officially became the youngest confirmed mother in medical history, aged five years, seven months and 21 days. 

The doctors who worked on Lina noted that she had an abnormal advancement in growth, with prominent breast development by the age of four. 

By age five, her body displayed pelvic widening and advanced bone maturation.
