World's youngest mother

Peruvian five-year-old Lina Medina, accompanied by her 11-month-old-son Gerardo, and Doctor Lozada who attended her son's birth, are shown in this 1940 file photo [see http://youngest_mother.tripod.com for the picture] taken in Lima's hospital. When her child was born by Caesarean section in May 1939, Medina made medical history, and is still the youngest known mother in the world. [...] Medina was born on September 27, 1933 in the small village of Paurange. She was only 5 years 8 months old at the birth of her child on Mother's Day, May 14, 1939. [...] At four years old she had already developed breasts as well as pubic hair, her body proportions were a bit amazing and her bone hardening a bit advanced, things that are often observed in cases of such premature pregnancy. [...] Medina herself married and in 1972 had a second son, 33 years after her first. Her second child now lives in Mexico.
