Sometimes truth is too uncanny to be believed but miracles do happen in this real world.
Nature has its own way of producing extremities whether in human being or animals . The extremities are sometimes so weird that one finds it hard to believe. The world’s longest person, shortest person, oldest person and so on. So what would you guess the age of the youngest mother? Did you think 15, sorry! Did you just say 10, sorry again. Its actually half of that. Unbelievable, but its true…the worlds youngest mother is just only 5 years old.
It was May 1939, when Lina Medina, aged five years, seven months and 21 days, gave birth to a baby. The parents of this Peruvian girl thought that she had a large abdominal tumor and they took her to the hospital. Later to their utter surprise, they were shocked to hear that their daughter was pregnant. Dr. Gerado Lozada, the then chief physician of the hospital of Pisco, confirmed the pregnancy report of Lina. In his documentation Dr. Gerado had mentioned that the girl was having menstruation from the age of three. She also had fully developed breasts. His son was named Gerado who unfortunately died in 1979.
, Medina married Raúl Jurado. She was last documented in 2002, living in a small city called Little Chicago of Peru.

This article is too uncanny to believe, although I have read it in many credential sites. How can such a thing happen. Is the lady still surviving? … well she was last heard of living in a city called “Little Chicago” in Peru(2002). After that no updates about her since have been published. Still no one knows who was the father of the child. Anyway, good research and a nice article.

This is totally absurd and impossible. Its just too unbelievable. I mean “How can be a five year old be pregnant. Its quite impossible”

Just checked wikipedia and confirmed that this is a true case and not a hoax. Thanks for the article.

The girl in the pic looks very cute, but I can’t believe that she was pregnant. Although I have read a number of articles about her but still just think of it…… just 5.

I read on another site that her father was brought to jail for raping her, no-one would believe that a 5 year old could have been sexuality active..
