The girl’s parents initially thought their daughter was
suffering from a massive abdominal tumor and was brought in to the doctor's office,but after
being examined by doctors in Pisco, Peru, they discovered she was eight-months
pregnant. Dr. Gerardo Lozada found that Lina’s mammary glands and also all sexual
organs were fully developed.
When her parents were questioned about the pregnancy,
Lina’s mother informed the doctor that she had been having a period since the
age of three. However, upon further examination, Dr. Lozada realized her
menstruation began at eight months.
On Mother’s Day, Lina gave birth to a six pound baby boy through
a C-section on May 14, 1939 whom she
named Gerardo (the doctor who diagnosed her).
Police arrested Lina’s father on suspicions of incest and
rape, but he was later released due to lack of evidence. The identity of
Gerardo’s father was never determined.
Her child Young Gerardo grew up thinking that his mother
was his sister, though when he was 10-years-old her real identity was revealed.
Gerardo led a healthy life until 1979, and he died from bone marrow disease at the age of
40.
Throughout the years, many people have called her story a
complete hoax, however, X-rays, photos, and doctors’ documentation are proof
that this really did happen. We can definitely understand the hesitation
because we cannot believe how she was able to carry her baby full term at such
a young age.
And believe it or not, this is the truth behind the
world's youngest mother.
