Young parents. The youngest mother in history

Probably, each of us in adolescence began to try on the role of a parent: how would you cope, would life change? But! The youngest parents in the world will prove in their stories that everything should have its time.

In addition to the birth of a desired child, there are times when a baby becomes a living toy instead of a doll for those who are still a child themselves. And nothing good comes out of it….

The youngest mother in history

Lina Medina, a resident of a small Peruvian village, managed to give birth by caesarean section in 1939. A healthy baby was born in 1939 weighing almost 3 kg. At that time, Lina was 5 years and 7 months old.

Parents went to the doctor after their daughter's belly grew a lot. They thought the girl was dying. At first, the doctors suspected a tumor, and only later made the correct diagnosis (on the 7th month). In the capital, Lina was operated on by Dr. Gerardo Losada, after whom she named her son.

This happened to the girl because of the abnormally early puberty of the body. Already from the age of 4, Lina had menstruation, sufficiently developed breasts, and her pelvic bones began to move apart (but not enough to resolve on her own).

The history of conception has remained undisclosed. The girl's father was first arrested and then released for lack of evidence. There is a version that in the mountainous Peruvian villages where the Medina family lived, ritual festivities were held, followed by orgies. But Lina herself always refused to be interviewed (or maybe at the age of 5 she simply did not remember the moment itself).

Lina Medina passed away just a few years ago. In 1972, she gave birth to another son in marriage, and the difference between the brothers was 33 years.

The youngest mother in the USSR

In the last century, a resident Soviet Union almost reached the Peruvian record. There are no photographs of the girl, but newsreel footage is material evidence of this event. Lisa Pantueva, a 6-year-old resident of Kharkov, was raped by her grandfather. A retired sailor looked after his granddaughter and the case ended in pregnancy in 1934. The girl began puberty very early and, although she had not had her period yet, the eggs had already begun their work.

The doctors decided that the girl would give birth naturally (caesarean was feared due to sepsis, antibiotic treatment was not developed enough). But in the process of childbirth, the umbilical cord broke and the child died, although the whole pregnancy proceeded safely.

Fearing public opinion, the family moved to Kharkov (according to one of the versions, together with his grandfather!). There, it seems, the girl died at the age of 14 during her second birth. Whether grandfather took part in this is unknown.

Interestingly, the doctor Ivan Grishchenko took Lisa's birth. After 7 decades, his son, Valentin Grishchenko, helped set another record in the same maternity hospital - 11-year-old Bogdana was born a healthy boy weighing 3.8 kg.

The youngest 9-year-old mothers

The hot climate of Peru clearly promotes early puberty. In 1957, another resident of this country, Hilda Trujillo, gave birth to an almost 3-kg baby girl by cesarean in Lima. The father of the child was a 22-year-old cousin who lived with the girl in the same room and was arrested almost immediately.

In total, there are 6 girls of the same age in history who were relieved from the burden:

• In 2004, a Singaporean student gave birth to a classmate. The baby was given up for adoption. This couple may well claim the title of the youngest parents in the world.
• A Rwandan woman raped by a servant who gave birth to a son by caesarean.
• In 2006, a young Brazilian woman gave birth to a daughter weighing over 2 kg. An investigation is underway.
• In 2007, a resident of Honduras gave birth to a daughter-sister from her father.
• And in 2010, a Chinese woman gave birth to a son weighing almost 3 kg.

The youngest 10-year-old mothers

There are 10 documented cases. Moreover, the American Sally Davis managed to give birth in 1834 to a girl weighing 3.5 kg on her own.

And two more couples can claim to be the youngest parents in the world.

• A Belgian woman who gave birth to a 13-year-old classmate in 2006.
• And an immigrant from Romania, who was born at the age of 10 in Spain from a 13-year-old comrade who remained at home.

The youngest 11-year-old mothers

Probably, from the entire list (8 people), the most remarkable will be the Ukrainian Nadya Gnatiuk, who gave birth at the age of 11 from her father (who was imprisoned for 8 years). She owns another record - the largest underage mother of many children.

After the first birth, the girl developed heart problems. While in the district hospital, she met 24-year-old Vitaly Shlapak and six months later got married in a village church. And in 2006, at the age of 14, she gave birth to a son, Andrei.

The youngest father

A 9-year-old Chinese resident, together with his 8-year-old wife, managed to conceive and give birth to a child in 1910. At that time, such marriages were common in the country. Their history has not preserved their names, but the reliability of the fact is confirmed by its mention in the Guinness Book of Records.

An interesting story happened to the Englishman Alfie Patten, 13 years old. His girlfriend, 15-year-old Shantel Stethem, decided to become famous in this way.

When she gave birth to a child, giving many interviews and selling a lot of pictures with a potential father, a wave of indignation arose among her acquaintances of the boys. As it turned out, they all had sexual intercourse with the girl, and as a result of the DNA test, it turned out that biological father child 14-year-old Taylor Parker.

But the Patten-Stetham couple continue to live together, raise a girl and try to build a full-fledged cell of society.

The youngest mother in Russia

A 5th grade student, an orphan Valentina Isaeva from Kapotnya, gave birth at the age of 11, in 2005. The father of the girl Amina was the 17-year-old Uzbek Tajik Khabib Patakhonov, who rented a corner from them. The girl's step-grandmother, stepfather's mother, guardian Antonina Alexandrovna remained in the dark until the time came for her granddaughter to give birth.

Until the age of the girl, the couple lived separately by court order. The question was to send Valya to an orphanage, and the child to foster family, but everything worked out, as the young people managed to convince everyone of their love. Khabib was given 3 years probation for child molestation. But at the same time, he was allowed to work in the capital, although on condition that he did not touch the girl without the permission of the court and visited the family only during the allotted hours.

The baby grew up pretty and healthy, and the same grandmother, who had one desire, helped to take care of them - that everyone would leave them behind.

Then they got married, and lived together until 2015. The fate of the girl was constantly monitored by the tabloids and her share cannot be called particularly happy. Isaeva graduated from 9 classes and college, worked as a cashier and salesman, and her husband as a storekeeper.

In 2013, Habib and Vali had a second child, son Amir. In a conversation with reporters, the young mother did not even allow the thought that her 12-year-old daughter would follow her path. All this time, Valya told me what a good family they had.

In 2015, Khabib reported the disappearance of his wife to the police. Later it turned out that Valentina had run away and soon filed a counterclaim for constant beatings.

In 2017, the couple appeared on the First TV channel in the program “Let them talk”. Valya introduced the country to her new young man and declared that there would be no return to her former life.

Amina, Valentina Isaeva and her new boyfriend

This demonstrative family has long made PR a part of their lives. The wedding was paid for by television for the right to broadcast from the celebration. Every appearance on the blue screen pays well enough (for latest release“Let them talk” they were paid 250 thousand rubles for two). In 2017, Khabib already drives an expensive car and is strikingly different from the modest young man from the first interviews. And today they do not at all resemble Romeo and Juliet, as they were called at the very beginning.

Right now in modern world no one is surprised by early pregnancy. Hearing that a 17-year-old girl is expecting a baby, no one is surprised. Why in recent times, so often there are cases of pregnancy in minors? Blame it on early puberty, improper upbringing, lack of moral values and much more. If at the age of 17 it is already considered the norm to give birth, then when you see even younger mothers on television, viewers are shocked.

In many situations, girls decide to have an abortion, but this is even worse than carrying an unwanted child. Pregnancy in early age threatens with psychological disorders and many other negative influences that affect the future of the child and mother. So, let's get acquainted with the youngest mothers in the world.

The first case of early pregnancy was recorded in 1939. The heroine was a five-year-old girl Lina Medina. Even today, this girl is recognized as the youngest mother in the world. The girl is even listed due to her early pregnancy in the Guinness Book of Records. Parents brought their daughter to the doctors, as they noticed a clear increase in the girl's abdominal cavity. At first, the doctors did not even think about sending the girl to a gynecologist and said that she had a tumor. Later, when the mammary glands began to change, it turned out that the girl was pregnant, the parents of the young mother did not believe this, and were temporarily in a state of shock. On May 14, the girl gave birth to a boy by caesarean section.

This was a necessity, since the girl would not have coped with childbirth on her own due to her unformed pelvis. The boy, to the surprise of all physicians, was born absolutely healthy and strong, with normal weight and height. Until now, no one knows the name of her father, Lina never told anyone about how she got pregnant.

In Syzran, a 13-year-old girl became pregnant, but she still keeps her father's name a secret. The name of this sixth grader is Alena Shevchuk. The girl talks about what she had intimate relationship with Ivan Bezpalko. It is surprising that the guy does not agree with such an accusation, but points to other people. The whole city is talking about Alena's promiscuity. The paternity of the accused Ivan has never been proven. The girl gave birth to a baby successfully and brings him up alone, with the help of her mother.

Veronika Ivanova

A girl from Yakutia who gave birth at 12 years old. Since childhood, Veronica has been a complete girl. That is why neither parents nor friends noticed that she was pregnant. Before last day she hid her belly from those around her, and relatives and friends thought that she had recovered. The father was a 19-year-old boy caring for a girl. It turned out that the father had already served time for the distribution of drugs, now he is serving a sentence for having a relationship with a minor. Even more surprising was the fact that Veronica found herself another husband who helps her raise someone else's child.

This is a fifth grader who became famous because of her early pregnancy. The girl was written about in newspapers and filmed on TV shows. One of the youngest mothers in the world, she started dating a Tajik at the age of 11. At first, no one paid attention to the connection of teenagers and thought that it was just friendship or a passing hobby. But Valentina's pregnancy surprised even her grandmother, who said that she simply did not notice the teenage romance.

Law enforcement agencies have repeatedly summoned a citizen of Tajikistan about his relationship with a young girl, but they could not do anything about it. The guy was threatened with a very long prison term, but thanks to the media he was acquitted, since everyone believed that the guy's intentions were extremely serious. At first, their family life everything went well, but later Valya's husband became jealous of all her friends and often beat her. The young mother could not stand the violence, filed a complaint about beatings and left the father of her child.

Nadya Gnatyuk

This is a girl who got pregnant by her own father. at 11 years old. Nadia comes from the Khmelnytsky region, her story turned out to be very tragic. The mother never noticed her husband's attraction to her daughter. The girl at that time, as her father regularly raped her, did not tell anyone about anything, since her father threatened her with reprisal. Today, the father of a young mother is in prison for rape. Nadezhda gave birth to a healthy girl, but she needs the help of a psychologist.

A girl from Romania named Maria, gave birth at 12 years old. It is known that early marriages are quite popular among gypsies, but the girl was not happy with her pregnancy. This story confirms that children learn from their parents. Maria's mother also gave birth to her at the age of 12. Maria hoped that she would receive education, and then get married, but everything turned out quite the opposite.

Lisa from Ukraine

A resident of Ukraine, Liza, in 1934, at the age of 6, became pregnant. The girl herself did not recognize this, her parents brought her to the doctors on last month pregnancy, where they found out that their daughter was pregnant. Even more surprising is that paternity has been established. The child's father was Lisa's grandfather. During childbirth, the doctors could not save the child, he had no chance of life. Pleased with the fact that Lisa herself managed to return to normal life.

The girl became a mother at the age of 15. I must say that she gave birth to a brave girl, despite the fact that her parents persuaded her to have an abortion. At the beginning, Alexandra's parents did not accept their grandson, later they came to their senses and began to help the young mother. The girl could not finish school. She carefully hides the name of the father of her child, even from her parents and friends.

Single mother Alexandra

Girl Sasha from the Russian outback gave birth at the age of 15 and became a single mother. Alexandra never spoke the name of her father, and not only did her parents refuse own daughter and grandson, they are also suing their daughter. A young grandmother wants her child to be taken to an orphanage. But Alexandra says that she can provide for her child and will fight for him. The trial has been going on for 3 years in a row.

The laws of biology tell us that gestation, the birth of a child, and, by the way, conception are possible only after puberty (i.e., the first menarche) and before menopause.

But the genetic characteristics of individuals make it possible to give birth to a child at an earlier or later date.

The world knows cases when children and old women became mothers. In this article, we will tell you about the youngest mothers in history. You might also be interested in the article about the oldest mothers in the world.

The youngest mothers in the world

Lisa from Kharkov

In 1934, information appeared about another young mother. 6-year-old Lisa from Kharkov got pregnant from her own grandfather. She carried a healthy baby girl, whose height at birth was 50 centimeters and weighed 3 kilograms.

The low financial situation of the family did not allow hiring a qualified surgeon who would “procesarize” the baby. A six-year-old Ukrainian woman had to give birth naturally with little or no anesthesia. Unfortunately, this story did not end as well as Lina Medina's. The baby died during childbirth - Liza's umbilical cord fell off prematurely.

Hilda Trujillo from Peru

Another case, and again the scene is Peru. At the end of 1957, 9-year-old Ilda Trujillo gave birth to a girl weighing 2.7 kilograms in a hospital in Lima. Ilda's mother noticed her daughter's swollen belly back in the summer. The doctor's diagnosis simply shocked her - the doctor stated that the baby was pregnant. It turned out that he became a father cousin girls, a 22-year-old young man who lived with the girl in the same room. He was arrested the same day, as soon as his parents found out about Ilda's pregnancy.

The youngest mothers of the XXI century

A young mother from the Apurina tribe

In July 2006, a 9-year-old Indian girl from the Apurina tribe became a mother. It happened in the capital of the Brazilian Amazon - Manaus. The pregnant girl was sent to the hospital in April, and then only after a group of researchers saw her disproportionately huge belly in her native village.

In the hospital, the expectant mother was found to have a whole bunch of dangerous diseases: pneumonia, malaria and anemia. She did not hear the doctors and did not react in any way to what was happening around - the baby had giant sulfur plugs in her ears, which had to be removed in the hospital. However, her daughter was born healthy, although not very large: 42 centimeters and 2.2 kilograms.

Pregnant girl from China

The youngest mother in the world - Lina Medina from Peru

The most early pregnancy, recorded by doctors, was found in a native of Peru, Lina Medina. The girl was born on September 27, 1933, and at almost 6 years old she became the youngest mother in the world. This "record" is still not beaten.

Five-year-old Lina was brought to the hospital by her parents, who were concerned about their daughter's enlarged abdominal cavity. At first they believed that the girl had a tumor. After examining the doctors, they discovered that Lina Medina was seven months pregnant. The girl's mother confirmed that Lina's first menstruation began at the age of three. Dr. Gerardo Lozada drove future mother to metropolitan Lima to have the pregnancy confirmed by other specialists.

A month and a half later, on May 14, 1939, Lina gave birth to a boy by caesarean section. The operation was inevitable because of the girl's still undeveloped pelvis - in a natural way, the baby would simply not be born, most likely, the young mother would also die. Surgical intervention Dr. Lozada and Bussleu were in charge, and Dr. Colretta provided anesthesia.

The newborn, who at the time of birth weighed 2.7 kilograms, was named after Dr. Gerardo. As they grew older, the boy was told that Lina was his sister. The fact that she is actually his mother, Gerardo found out at the age of 9.

How exactly Lina Medina became pregnant has not been documented. Of course, the authorities could not ignore such an egregious case, and at first they accused the father of molesting his own daughter. However, the charges were subsequently dropped - the examination showed that the girl was a virgin.

The most plausible version seems to be that the pregnancy occurred due to low level hygiene in a poor Peruvian family. Lina herself was silent all her life about the circumstances of fertilization.

It is known that Medina later married a young man named Raul Gerado, from whom she gave birth to a second son in 1972. The family lived in a poor area of ​​Lima known as Chicago Chico ("Little Chicago"). Lina Medina died in November 2015, outliving her eldest son by almost 40 years - he died in 1979 from bone marrow cancer.

Motherhood is a great happiness, it is joy, it is one of the main destinations of a woman. All women at this time are beautiful, joyful and happy. In theory. But everything is good in its time, and sometimes it comes much earlier than the due age. While the vast majority of girls are still playing with dolls, the youngest mother in the world has already endured and given birth to a child. Is it good? Of course not, because a living “doll” must not only be born, but also taught to live in it, and this already requires a certain life experience. And yet, how shocking will be the result in this "competition"?

This case is unique in a number of ways. Firstly, mommy was ready for conception and childbearing much earlier than the time set by nature and culture. Secondly, she conceived, that is, there was someone, to call him a “man”, the language does not turn, which provided her with this conception. Thirdly, she was able to carry a child. Fourthly, to give birth, albeit with the help of a caesarean section. Fifthly, the child was born full-fledged and survived. As many as five shocking accidents. So how old is the youngest mother in the world? At the time of birth, she was 5 years, 7 months and 21 days old.

The creepiest thing about this situation is that it's a fully documented case, medical fact recorded and confirmed. The girl's parents went to the doctor when they saw that her stomach was already strongly protruding. Doctors suspected a tumor in the abdominal cavity. It’s scary to even imagine what a shock they had when they found out that the tumor was already vigorously moving its arms and legs and plans to see it in a couple of months. White light. Lina Medina was seven months pregnant.

On May 14, 1939, a significant event took place in Peru - the baby Hererdo, named after the operating surgeon, was born. For a long time he was sure he was just Lina's little brother. The youngest mother in history, however, was able to improve her life in the future, get married and give birth to another child, already at a more suitable age for this.

Lisa

History did not remember the name of this girl. But many other facts remained in the chronicle. For example, the fact that she lived in Kharkov and at the age of 6, not far behind the Peruvian, became a mother. The story about this shocking fact, as well as the footage depicting the girl herself, remained in the private film library of Professor Valentin Ivanovich Grishchen, head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical University in Kharkov. He inherited them from his father, who took these extraordinary births.

The father of the child turned out to be Lisa's grandfather, the father of her mother. The former sailor was too eager to take care of the girl. Parents were constantly busy with work and did not see anything reprehensible. They were alarmed only when the girl's tummy began to protrude noticeably. The doctors were even more alarmed when they saw that someone was living in the tummy.

The pregnancy ended naturally. True, unsuccessful. The mother's umbilical cord fell off, and the child did not survive. The caesarean had to be abandoned because of the risk of sepsis, but if the operation had been performed, he could have survived, because physiologically the girl was already ready to have her own children. The “mother” still could not go to school, but she could already conceive and bear a child.

Ilda is not the youngest mother, although her age at the time of birth is also terrifying - 9 years old. This shocking event happened in 1957. The doctors and staff of the hospital in the city of Lima (Peru, again Peru. What kind of epidemic do they have?) For a long time they remembered both the woman in labor and her child - a completely healthy 2-kilogram girl.

As in other cases, the fact of birth was preceded by another, no less shocking fact - conception. It is believed that a 22-year-old cousin became the father of the child. He lived in the same room with his sister and did not fail to take advantage of this fact. He was arrested on the same day when the shocked parents found out that they would become grandparents ahead of schedule.

9 year old moms

After that, there were several more cases in history when a 9-year-old girl gave birth to a child. Mom brought a baby from Singapore to the doctor with a suspected urinary tract infection. The referral turned out to be correct, but the mother's preliminary diagnosis was not. The father is a classmate of the girl, which allows the case to be entered into Guinness records for another column - “the youngest couple”. A similar fate was awarded to a Brazilian, a Chinese woman, young citizens of Honduras and Rwanda. And this happened not in 1900, but in our time, in the third millennium.

Where and when the next youngest mother will appear is unknown. But in order for this not to happen in your family, first of all you need to know that the appearance of signs of puberty in a girl before the age of 11-12 is a reason for consulting at least with a pediatrician. If before this time she had hair in the armpits, in the groin or on the body, her breasts began to grow, her figure changed, and even more so, menstruation began, this is a sign of a hormonal disorder that can and should be treated. After all, few people want to receive an honorary, but very problematic title of "the youngest mother in Russia."
