Lina Medina

Lina Medina is a Peruvian woman who holds the record as the youngest confirmed mother in history, having given birth at age five in 1939; she had become pregnant at age four due to precocious puberty, a rare medical condition that caused her body to mature abnormally early. Her case is medically significant because it represents an extreme example of how precocious puberty can affect human development, though the circumstances of her pregnancy remain a stark illustration of extreme vulnerability in childhood.
