66 year-old Mother Gave Birth to Twin Boys




Women usually end up giving birth at the age of 40-50’s. It is also rare getting pregnant at the age of 50’s. Things can be possible just like this 66 year-old woman Maria del Carmen Bousada Lara of Spain who gave birth to a twin boys on December 29, 2006 named Christian and Pau and considered to be the oldest woman who delivered babies. Maria delivered the twins by Caesarian sector at Sant Pau hospital in Barcelona, Spain. For two years Maria holds the world record. This is really an amazing story for a supposedly in a granny age that was able to deliver babies. If you want to break Maria’s record make sure to give birth at the age of 70 and more fantastic when you deliver twins, triplets, etc. Maria’s health maybe in a good condition because she was able to survive and deliver healthy babies just like the other mothers. When you reach this age and have the same case with Maria, try to make sure that you take care of your health and be aware of the food you eat and even drinks and vitamins you take.
