The story about this five-year-old who gave birth is just astonishing
We came across this story in The Sun and found it so truly astonishing we wanted to share it with you.
Doctors in Peru discovered that five-year-old Lina Medina was pregnant just weeks before she gave birth. They thought her swollen stomach was some kind of tumour at first.
She gave birth to a healthy baby boy in 1939 via c-section as her pelvis would have been too small, and the family named him Gerardo after the doctor who delivered him.
It was suspected her dad was the father of the baby and he was arrested but later released without charge.
During the c-section, doctors realised that the doctor Lina had mature sexual organs and brought on by a condition named precocious puberty which triggers early puberty.
Lina's family kept Gerardo in the dark about his mother until he was ten years old - up until then he believed that Lina was his sister.
Unfortunately, he died aged 40 from bone disease but Lina went on to remarry and have another son. She is still alive today and despite many thinking her young pregnancy was a hoax, doctors say they have scans and medical evidence to prove it.
Lina remains the youngest person in the world to give birth even to this day.
