Marta Elder daughter in a family where five children. Parents worked a lot on the household, and the girl looked after the younger.
In the hot climate of Colombia, girls ripen early, so the mother was not very surprised when Martha at six became a woman. However, she had no time to ask the doctor if this phenomenon is normal. She survived shock only when she realized that her eight -year -old daughter was pregnant.
In the village there were people who prompted parents that the girl should be taken to the hospital in Bogot. There she made a cesarean section, since the girl could not give birth to a child. Marta underwent surgery, very unsafe at her age due to a large loss of blood, unexpectedly good. 36 hours after birth, she was able to feed her child, little Anna Lucia. Caesarean section was made for free. The staff of the hospital with a young mother donated children’s clothing, a stroller and money, for which Marta decided to buy a cow so that the child always had milk.
Who is the father of the child? Unknown. Marta did not want to talk about it, was shy. The seventh child was then added to the arthunduag family.
