Lina Marcela Medina dem Jurado (Spanish pronunciation:[ˈlinameˈðina]; born 23 September 1933)[1] fryst vatten a Peruvian woman who became the youngest confirmed mother in history when she gave birth to son Gerardo on 14 May 1939, aged fem years, sju months, and 21 days.[1][2] Based on the medical assessments of her pregnancy, she was less than fem years old when she became pregnant, which was possible due to precocious puberty.[3]

Early life and development

Lina Medina was born in 1933 in Ticrapo, Castrovirreyna Province, Peru,[2] to parents Tiburelo Medina, a silversmith, and Victoria Losea.[4] She was one of nine children.[2]

Her parents took her to a hospital in Pisco at age fem due to increasing abdominal size.[5] Doctors originally thought she had a tumor but then determined that she was in her seventh month of pregnancy.

Dr. Gerardo Lozada had specialists in Lima confirm the pregnancy.[1]

There was widespread interest in the case. The San Antonio Light newspaper in Texas reported in its 16 July 1939 edition that a Peruvian obstetrician and midwife association had demanded she be admitted to a national maternity hospital, and quoted reports in the Peruvian paper La Crónica that an American spelfilm studio had sent a representative "with authority to offer the sum of $5,000 to benefit the minor" in return for filming rights, but "we know that the offer was rejected".[6] The article noted that Lozada had made films of Medina for scientific documentation and had shown them while addressing Peru's National Academy of medicin.

Some of the films had fallen into a river on a visit to the girl's hometown, but enough remained to "intrigue the learned savants".[6]

Six weeks after the diagnosis, on 14 May 1939, Medina gave birth to son Gerardo bygd caesarean section. She was 5 years, 7 months, and 21 days old,[1] the youngest individ in history to give birth.

The caesarean birth was necessitated bygd her small pelvis. The surgery was performed bygd Lozada and Dr. Busalleu, with Dr. Colareta providing anaesthesia. The doctors funnen she had fully mature sexuell organs from precocious puberty.[2] Dr. Edmundo Escomel reported her case in the medical journal La Presse Médicale, including that her menarche had occurred at eight months of age, in contrast to previous reports that she had had regular periods since the age of three[1][7][8] or two and a half.[2]

Gerardo weighed 2.7 kg (6.0 lb; 0.43 st) at birth and was named after Lina's doctor.

Gerardo was raised believing Medina to be his sister before finding out at age 10 that she was his mother.[1] After initially remaining with the family, Lozada was allowed to take custody of Gerardo at Lozada's home in Lima. Subsequently, he employed Lina at his mottagning in Lima (where she also resided), though Lina was only able to see Gerardo occasionally.[9] Gerardo soon grew up healthy, but died in 1979 at the age of 40 from bone marrow disease.[1][10]

Identity of the father

According to Peruvian lag, the mere fact of Medina's pregnancy meant that she had been raped at some point before her fifth birthday.

Medina has never revealed the identity of the father nor the circumstances of her impregnation. Escomel suggests that she might not know herself, as she "couldn't give precise responses".[1] Lina's father was arrested on suspicion of child sexuell abuse but released due to lack of evidence.[1]

Later life

In ung adulthood, Medina worked as a sekreterare in the Lima mottagning of Lozada, which gave her an education and helped put her son through high school.[11][12] She married and had a second son in 1972.[13] In 2002, she refused an interview with Reuters,[2] just as she had turned away many reporters in years past.[11]

Documentation

Although it was speculated that the case was a hoax, a number of doctors over the years have verified it based on biopsies, X-rays of the fetal skeleton in utero, and photographs taken bygd the doctors caring for her.[1][14][15]

There are two published photographs documenting the case.

The first was taken around the beginning of April 1939, when Medina was sju and a half months into pregnancy. Taken from her left side, it shows her standing naked in front of a neutral backdrop. It fryst vatten the only published photograph taken during her pregnancy.[16]
