Frieda Birnbaum, 60, gave birth to twin boys Tuesday, becoming the oldest woman to give birth to twins in the United States. The babies were delivered at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, N.J., by caesarean section. "Baby A" weighed 4 pounds, 11.4 ounces, and "Baby B" weighed 4 pounds, 11 ounces. Birnbaum said she felt great after delivering the two boys. "This is so wonderful, I feel so relaxed. It has been a great experience," she said. Birnbaum, who is a psychologist, and her husband Ken, a Manhattan attorney, have three other children — a 6-year-old son, a 29-year-old daughter and a 33-year-old son. The husband and wife of 38 years said they had not settled on the names, but were leaning toward Jake and Jared.
Dr. Abdulla Al-Khan, director of prenatal diagnostics and therapeutics in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Hackensack University Medical Center, oversaw Birnbaum's pregnancy and delivered the twins. "This was a fabulous outcome. I'm extremely thrilled and delighted to have delivered a healthy mom and two healthy baby boys," he said. "They're doing very well." Before her noontime C-section, Birnbaum said she underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) last year in Cape Town, South Africa, so her youngest son, Ari, would have siblings closer to his age and because she wanted older women to be able to deliver children “without a stigma attached.”
“My daughter feels I should be living in Florida having a good life,” said Birnbaum, of Saddle River, N.J. “I hope when she’s older, she’ll see this and understand she has choices. I don’t feel like I’m 60. I don’t know what 60 is meant to be.” Al-Khan said there is just no rulebook for handling a pregnancy such as this one.

Figures.
Figures.
hahaha, now that was weird, I though I’d double posted!
great freepers think alike?
Frightening to have you in my mind.
PS You forgot to add the Manhattan attorney. Lawyers are always fair game.
:)
That makes 12,000,003 illegal aliens for this obnoxious bill that they are trying to “ram down our throats” as Joe Biden would say.
What’s the old line:
It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
So when the twins are ready to go to college, ol’ Frieda will be 78 years old.
What a country...
I had twins the natural way. They wore me out, and I was only 34 Maybe they can afford a lot of help. My guess is that they must be pretty wealthy to afford to go to South Africa to have IVF.
I also think the pregnancy was easy compared to raising twins. Her twins are much smaller than my twins, and mine had medical problems. Mine almost died when they were 6 weeks old of RSV (there is now a treatment available for RSV, so it probably won’t be a problem for her twins).
I’m 45, and I know I would not choose to have IVF to have any more twins. I understand going through IVF to have babies when you are young and haven’t had any babies. However, this woman already had kids.
What an idiot! She will be chasing 5 yo in her wheel chair.
Did she get a discount on her delivery using her AARP card?
That was freaky.
Ozarkgirl just finished madprof’s thought withen a minute no doubt.
Just wondering .... if her extreme desite to have kids at age 60 (she will be 78 when they graduate HS) is due to having aborted previous babies when she was at a regular (safe) age?
Her oldest is 33, so I’d say ‘No’.
