Five-Year-Old-Pregnant: The Story of Lina Medina

April 26th 2010 11:31

Today’s journey brings us to a little girl who got pregnant at the age of 5. Pretty hard to believe? I thought so until I read the story of Lina Medina.
Lina was born in 1933 in the Peruvian town of Ticrapo Peru. Her parents thought she had a tumor in her stomach which was later diagnosed as a fetus. Lina is the youngest known person to give birth to a baby, and did so via C-section. Her son Gerardo was born healthy at almost 6 pounds. He was named after Lina’s doctor and was raised as Lina’s brother until the age of 10 when he discovered his older sister of 15 was really his mother.

Amazing? I thought so. Gerardo grew up healthy until he passed away at age 40 of a bone marrow disease. As to the origin of the baby’s father…it was always suspected that Lina was raped and molested by her own father. Born with a condition called precocious puberty, the little girl started her menstrual period at 8 months old. Now-a-days, cases of precocious puberty are rare. In seldom cases that precocious puberty may occur, modern hormonal medication can be used to suppress early fertility in children.

Because of lack of evidence, Lina Medina’s father was never convicted of having sex with his five-year-old daughter. As a young adult, Lina worked as a medical secretary to her own doctor. In 2007 it was reported that Lina was still living in a questionable area of Lima, Peru. She married, gave birth to a second son, and lived a quiet secluded life away from curious eyes.

Interesting story but it seems that you need to correct the year of her birth. She couldn't have been born in 1993.

Really disturbing story. I'd never heard of it before. Can you please confirm the dates though. You mention that Lina was born in 1993, her son born 5 years later and that the son died at 40 of bone marrow disease, so I'm a tad confused.

Five years old? There's two incredible stories here. Lina, AND her sick father.

Wow... the photo is just completely disturbing, especially when you factor in the father being the one who impregnated her! Fascinating story... but truly disturbing...

I've heard this one before, it's pretty crazy. What surprised me was that the child actually lived. You'd think it'd have some serious health issues being born from a mother who's still a baby herself.

Wow, I am speechless, both at the youngest person to give birth, as well as the sad story.

That's horrible, even more disturbing is the fact that her father got away with it. What a sad story!
