Playa del Carmen police found the burned remains of the 17-year-old girl - who had been seven months pregnant - inside a bag on a sidewalk on May 30.
Quintana Roo prosecutor's office named the alleged killer only as 'Juanita', and did not name the victim.
Authorities say she invited the pregnant teenager to her home in the municipality of Solidaridad, where she held her captive.
She allegedly bashed teenager's head with a stone before stabbing her to death and cutting the baby from her belly.
The woman later showed up at a local hospital and said the baby boy belonged to her.
Doctors stabilized the premature baby, who was listed in critical condition.
Local media reports claim Juanita killed the teen because she is infertile and was afraid that her husband would abandon her if she failed to provide the family their first child.
Authorities charged Juanita with homicide. If convicted, she could spent up to 50 years in prison.
