    Medina was brought to a hospital by her parents at the age of five years due to increasing abdominal size. She was originally thought to have had a tumor, but her doctors determined she was in her seventh month of pregnancy.

    I did not know this. I didn't think it was possible below like 12 tbh.

    Happens all the time, that's why Smyth's toy stores also sell prams and buggies.

    Naturally, the youngest mothers could be 11 or 12, but I think we all know, life is full of suprises.

    I read this years ago in the Guinness book of records, or some other reliable thingy.
    It's true. It's damn true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    After reading the article it is possible but rare of course. My God that child had no life at all. Seriously how did she not look more womanly though??? It has to be a hoax though! She must have had the menopause early and died young though if she had started 'being a woman' when she was only a baby, its not normal like though. She just started being a woman very young thats all really. You think that sort of thing wouldn't happen like.
    How did she manage to get pregnant and want to have sex at that age, is madness!

    i would imagine she was raped...


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,559 ✭✭✭Millicent


    Yeah, this one is true and really sad. She didn't understand what was happening and ended up playing with her dolls (as you'd expect with a child that age) and neglecting the child who, IIRC, died fairly soon after. They never found who raped her either. Horrible case.

    ETA: The son survived till he was middle-aged.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭previous user


    reminds me of the story of that bloke who was pregnant with his dead twin.

    I think he lived to about 30. Thats what I read somewhere, died of a bone disease.

    Oh the poor thing. Talk about trying to take advantage of a child that knew no better at that age, horrible thing to happen. The poor girl, and her poor son like. Awful neglect of the child if they didn't find out she was expecting until she was 7 months like, how did the mother not know would she not have known from the nappies when she was 8 months old???
    Beyond bizzare. In the 1930's you wouldn't think that sort of thing happens. Usually they wouldn't have started becoming a 'woman' until well into their teens around those days. Different story now though, ages 8 and upwards seems to be norm these days.

    Not too funny about the prams and buggies!

    It would appear you are correct sir! Lived to 39/40, according to that snopes link. Amazing actually that he survived a birth like that. O.o

    :confused: wha?

    Read the article again you will see that the child started her period when she was 8 months old! But according to a different article it was 2 and a 1/2 years old.

    Amazing that she survived the birth of her son at all and that her son lived around 30 or 40 thats pretty good though. Is it possible though she might have been a surrogated mother for her parents or something??

    could have been immaculate conception either? :eek: omg imagine that?!

    That's called precocious puberty and it's rare enough. It's possible, given the year and the socio-economic background, that the mother didn't know what it was. In fairness, I'd wager that a mother today, well-educated etc., still mightn't realise -- I know my brain wouldn't leap to pregnancy if it was my (hypothetical) five year old.

    It was a sarcastic joke I suppose, poking fun at that line and nothing more.

    If I just wanted to be a dick to the OP, and yet say pretty much the same thing, I could have wrote:

    'Yeah, sure kids under 12 get pregnant all the time, guess that's why Smyth's sell prams and buggies? :rolleyes:'


    I wasn't joking about that specific girl Tea, sure I know little or nothing about her or that case.

    :/

    Come to think of it, an immaculate conception could have happened! Its possible...Insemination or IVF if doctors knew of such a thing back then, maybe it was an experiement she went under with drugs to bring on fertility etc???!

    OMG any of the above mentioned could have happend!?? Ya but with a mother, she would have to been worried though if she noticed it was odd if her baby was bleeding in her nappies though???

    She obviously just started puberty at a very young age. Her body didn't have a chance to keep up with all the development. I mean she must have been thinking like teenager but still look as a child. Weird, you think she would have had some kind of growth spurt and been taller for her age and been more hairy??? All the things that usually happen when starting to become a woman should have been more noticed by the parents!

    well i was taking the piss...

    i'm sure the parents noticed snuggles, however, that would not have stopped her being raped and becoming pregnant would it?

    You are joking right? She must be like in her 70's nearly in her 80's at this stage! Not many people would have lived into that age after starting puberty and having a child so young how did she cope with it all.

    How did she manage to get pregnant and want to have sex at that age, is madness!

    She had started her period, started developing breasts and had pelvic widening.

    It's pretty obvious that she was raped.

    Oh, for crying out loud!!

    Immaculate = spotless, clean, free from sin. It refers to the conception of Mary. Remember the Hail Mary prayer? "Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us"

    Mary was spared from original sin (what baptism washes away) so that she would be worthy to carry the son of God. Which is known as the "Virgin birth" NOT the Immaculate Conception.
