MizzouTigerz opinion on this but he won't (can't) give it. And it won't change his "mind" in the slightest.
What's the most unusual and shocking medical case from history?
Lina Medina’s parents knew something was off about her stomach. The swelling was clearly getting worse.
The family lived in a small village in Peru, with Lina being one of nine children.
Doctors ran tests and were stunned to learn she was 6 months pregnant.
The case drew widespread outrage and medical curiosity. It defied physiology that someone so young was pregnant.
More importantly, why was she pregnant?
Many people initially believed the story was fake — until multiple doctors flew in to confirm the case via testing.
In the summer of 1939, Lina gave birth at just five and a half years old, meaning she’d become pregnant at four.
She delivered a healthy son, Gerardo, via C-section. She was nowhere near able to pass a child through her hips.
There have been other young children who got pregnant further back in time.
Their stories are mostly grim, with either the baby dying and/or the child dying in the process (c-sections weren’t widely used until the early 20th century).
