So this article just blew my mind…I thought it was just some non-sense (coz I found it on FB) and then I googled it, and it is true!!! I didn’t even think it was possible for child that young to give birth…and then after I googled…I found quite a few recorded cases of young children giving birth…and ofcoz the circumstances of their pregnancies left me feeling sick to my stomach!
The youngest mother in recorded medical history was only FIVE years old!!!
"Lina Medina is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history, giving birth at the age of five years, seven months and 17 days. She currently lives in Lima, the capital of Peru.
Medina was brought to a hospital by her parents at the age of five years due to 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, before the surgery to have other specialists confirm that Medina was pregnant.
Medina’s son weighed 2.7 kg at birth and was named Gerardo after her doctor. Gerardo was raised believing that Medina was his sister, but found out at the age of 10 that she was his mother. He grew up healthy but died in 1979 at the age of 40 of a bone marrow disease.
Later life: Medina has never revealed the father of the child nor the circumstances of her impregnation. Dr. Escomel suggested she might not actually know herself by writing that Medina “couldn’t give precise responses”.
Although Lina’s father was arrested on suspicion of child sexual abuse, he was later released due to lack of evidence, and the biological father who impregnated Lina was never identified. Additionally, there was no explanation of how a five-year-old girl could conceive a child.
In young adulthood, she worked as a secretary in the Lima clinic of Dr. Lozada, who gave her an education and helped put her son through high school. Medina later married Raúl Jurado, who fathered her second son in 1972. As of 2002, they lived in a poor district of Lima known as “Chicago Chico” (“Little Chicago”). She refused an interview with Reuters that year,just as she had turned away many reporters in years past."
There are so many cases of children under the age of 11yrs old who have given birth....I didn't even know that it was biologically possible for girls to hit puberty that young...I know it is possible when you are 10 and on...but FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT?!!!
^ Errrmm, so the twin remained inside another twin for over five years
yes...parasitic/symbiotic twins. one lives off of the other. even a twin boy can grow inside his twin brother's tummy...boy 'giving birth' to another boy [of course, surgically]!
