Lina Medina at an early age of 2 1/2 years old was thought to already been having a fully developed reproductive system. She was born in Peru on September 27, 1933 to Victoria Losea and Tiburelo Medina. 

It was thought that she was having abnormality in her stomach so her parents sought for a doctor to have her checked. To the surprise of Dr. Gerardo Lozada she was carrying in her stomach a 7 months baby. Dr, Lozada wanted other specialist to confirm what he had discovered and brought Lina to Lima.

Lina conceived her child later on by May 14, 1939 through a cesarean section since she still has small pelvis. She had a baby boy named Gerardo named after Dr. Lozada. Gerardo though grew up knowing that Lina was her sister until he turned 10 when he finally knew that she was instead her mother. Gerardo's life was short lived as he died at the age of 40 of  Bone Marrow Disease.


Tiburelo Medina, Lina's father was arrested on a belief that he had sexually abused her daughter. He was later on released due to lack of evidence as Lina didn't confirm what many thought of the father impregnated her. 

This case is an eye opener not only to parents to be cautious of their kids.
