There is an opinion that the laws of biology do not provide for the early birth of a child due to unformed reproductive function and hormonal levels. However, there are exceptions to all rules, and surely there must be the youngest parents in the world? This article will talk about these exceptions, which plunged doctors, scientists and researchers into shock. So, who are they - the youngest parents in the world?
Chinese youth
It's hard to believe, and at first the doctors even tried to hush up this fact, but the youngest parents in the world were 8 and 9 years old! These were some of the earliest births ever recorded by mankind. The natives of China turned out to be a happy couple: in 1910, when the first-born was born, his father was 9 years old, and his lover was 8. No wonder they got their rightful page in the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest parents in the world.
Lina Medina is the youngest mother in the history of the planet
However, this case is not yet a record. And to the question: “Who is the youngest mother inthe world? you can give an exact answer: this is Lina Medina. She was born back in 1933 in Peru. When the girl was five years old, her parents saw a suspiciously enlarged abdominal cavity. Worried, they turned to doctors for help, believing that it was a harmful tumor. However, doctors made a shocking diagnosis: the seventh month of pregnancy! Investigators suspected that the girl was raped by her own father, however, they were unable to prove his guilt.
Of course, due to the underdeveloped pelvis, the girl could not give birth on her own, and the doctors resorted to a caesarean section. So Gerardo was born - a boy weighing more than two and a half kilograms and named after the doctor Lina. He was raised as Lina's younger brother, hiding the fact that she was his biological mother. However, at the age of ten, the boy learned the truth, but this did not interfere with his later life. He grew up as a strong and he althy man, but at the age of 40 he died unexpectedly from a disease associated with the bone marrow. Lina herself happily married and gave birth to her second son.
Lina Medina and her amazing pregnancy was the most discussed topic in the media for a long time, despite the fact that the woman refused to make any contacts and give interviews to annoying journalists.
The youngest mothers in the world
Now you know who is rightly called "the youngest parents in the world." But surely Lina Medina is not the only one who bears such an honorary title. And since there is a list of the youngest mothers, then what about the parents of the most respectableage? So, what are they - the youngest and oldest mothers in the world?
For example, in 1934, Liza, a resident of Kharkov, became pregnant and gave birth to a child at the age of six. As the investigation showed, she was raped by her own grandfather, a sailor by profession. The girl safely carried the baby, but he died during childbirth.
After more than twenty years, the parents of nine-year-old Ilda Trujillo went to the doctors with the same problem as Lina Medina. The doctors' diagnosis struck Ilda's mother: she was in her fifth month of pregnancy! The birth went well, and thanks to the investigation, the father of the child was found. It turned out to be her 22-year-old cousin, who lived in the same room with the girl. He tried to escape, but was arrested.
Another nine-year-old mother was a resident of the Apurina tribe (India). A group of researchers accidentally noticed her in the village and hurried to take her to the hospital. As it turned out, the girl was not only pregnant, but also sick with anemia, pneumonia and malaria, and her ears were clogged with sulfur plugs, which were later removed by doctors. However, such a "bouquet" of various diseases did not prevent her from giving birth to a he althy daughter. Unfortunately, the identity of the girl's father could not be established. Perhaps she was the victim of one of the orgies that are very popular among Indian tribes.
Here they are - the youngest mothers in the world. Happy or unhappy - not for us to judge. But who is rightfully called the oldest mother in history?
The oldest mothers inworld
Omkari Panwar, a resident of the small town of Muzaffarnagar (India), has become the oldest mother in history. In 2008, at the age of seventy, she safely gave birth to twins. At that time, she already had two daughters and many grandchildren, but the couple dreamed of a son. And what will you not sacrifice for the sake of a dream? Her 77-year-old husband sold his plot of land and buffaloes, spent all his savings and even took out a loan to raise the necessary funds for an artificial insemination operation. The birth could not be called successful: a boy and a girl were born at the 8th month of pregnancy, however, now everything is fine with the children.
And in 2010, Bhateri Devi (also an Indian) at the age of 66 gave birth to triplets! Before that, she and her husband lived without children for more than 40 years, and in the end Bhateri decided on artificial insemination and gave birth to two boys and a girl. The he alth of the babies caused concern, so they were under the supervision of doctors for a long time.
The oldest mother in Germany
The oldest mother in the history of Germany was a resident of Bavaria, who decided on artificial insemination at the age of 64. The laws of the country prohibit such operations, so the woman was forced to leave her homeland for a while. Before that, she had repeatedly attempted to get pregnant in this way, but they all ended in failure. Finally, she was lucky - in 2007, another operation was successful, and she gave birth to a child. With his he alth and the he alth of his mother at the moment, everythinggood.
The youngest grandmother in the world is 23
How does it feel to be a grandmother at 23? Romanian Rifka Stanescu knows exactly the answer to this question, because it was she who became the youngest grandmother in history, breaking her own grandmother's record (26 years).
Everyone knows how fast Romanian gypsies get married and have children. Babies can even be engaged at the time of their birth, and early marriages are considered the norm. For example, Rifka was "engaged" to her betrothed when she was only two years old. True, it was not possible to get married - the young girl fell in love with another guy, gave herself to him and gave birth to a baby. The beloved did not abandon his legitimate child, but he had to endure numerous aggressive attacks from relatives who were extremely unhappy with the disruption of their plans. But where was it to go? The wedding was played and the dowry paid. Soon Rifka gave her husband two more children - daughter Maria and son Nikolai.
Maria grew up, went to school, and after some time announced that she was pregnant and was going to get married. The girl obviously went to her mother - at the time of the shocking statement she was 10 years old. Rifka, who has vast experience and knowledge in this area, did not argue with her daughter. The wedding was played, and the grandson of 23-year-old Rifka was named Ion.
UK's youngest parents
If the youngest parents in the world lived more than a hundred years ago, today nothing has changed - the problem of early pregnancy remains relevant. Not so long ago, the mostyoung UK parents. They were a 12-year-old girl and her 13-year-old boyfriend. The birth went well, and their daughter was born weighing just over three kilograms.
According to a close family friend, the young couple had been in a relationship for about a year. And when it turned out that the girl was "in a position", her relatives helped her in every possible way. The couple themselves are convinced that this is not a fleeting teenage romance: they want to take care of their daughter and get married as soon as they reach the appropriate age. Proud and self-righteous, they even posted a photo of their daughter online and plan to return to elementary school soon.
Problem or conscious decision?
Well, judging the world's youngest parents (as well as all new mothers) or not is everyone's business. Perhaps for some this will remain something unthinkable and incomprehensible, however, if a young couple has a roof over their heads, relatives who are ready to help and support in every possible way (including in material terms), he alth and faith in a brighter future Is it necessary to condemn such people? After all, they raise the demographic level in the country!
