A Spanish woman has given birth to a healthy twins at a hospital in Burgos after undergoing fertility treatment in the USA. The twins, a boy and girl, were safely delivered by caesarean section on Tuesday at the Hospital Recoletas de Burgos, hospital authorities confirmed.
Hospital authorities released a video clip announcing the news.
“The twins, a boy and a girl, are in good health as is their mother after a planned caesarean section,” read a statement issused by the private hospital. “The mother underwent fertility treatment in the United States and was cared throughout her pregnancy by staff in Burgos”.
A report in the local newspaper Diario de Burgos claimed that the woman had her first child, a girl, six years ago - also after fertility treatment - but that the daughter had been in the care of social services since 2014.
The woman, whose identity has not been revealed beyond her initials M.I.A, is one of the oldest in the world to give birth, but is still two years younger than the current holder of the record, fellow Spaniard Maria del Carmen Bousada Lara, who also gave birth to twins.
Bousada, who was born on January 5th 1940 gave birth by caesarean section to twin boys, Christian and Pau, a week before her 67th birthday at the Sant Pau hospital, Barcelona, Spain on 29 December 2006.
Unfortunately, her sons were orphaned when two-years-old after their mother died of cancer.
Last May, a woman claiming to be 72 gave birth in India. But because Daljinder Kaur hadno birth certificate and could not prove her age, she is not recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records.
My wife may yet give birth to another wee bairn!

Egg donation plus someone’s sperm. Whether she’s doing this to make a male partner happy or finally having a child via any means, I don’t know.
The only case of this I empathize with was the Rosana Della Corte who had a baby via a donor egg to replace a teenaged son who died. She did it out of grief of an only child, not selfishness late in life.
So selfish.
Spain badly needs children, so not so selfish.
By any means necessary at this point.
Only a few clinics in the world will
Put embryos into older women. Usually the low 50s is the limit.
Sometimes a grandma will be a surrogate for
Her child Who can’t carry. I could
See doing that.
She's got issues. Can't take care of a child and it is taken away, then she has 2 more? I pity the children
At age 64 she may be able to breast feed them in their crib while standing upright.
“given birth to a healthy twins at a hospital in Burgos after undergoing fertility treatment in the USA”
Fertility treatment. Yawn. Show me one who gets pregnant without it and I’ll be impressed.
I have to say congratulations....
