A couple of weeks ago I read this news and I wanted to publish it because I found it curious.
A french 59 years old recently gave birth, by caesarean section, to three babies. Two boys, who weighed 2,320 kg and 2,090 kg respectively and a girl who weighed 2,420 kg.
The woman underwent an IVF treatment in a foreign country since your request was rejected in France, where the age limit for undergoing such treatment appears to be at 43 years.
The risks of a pregnancy at this age and considering that it was a multiple pregnancy were diverse, both for the mother and for the babies. However, everyone is in good health. Jeannie Salomone's record of the longest-lived mother in France is that in 2001 she was a mother with 62 years of age.
Expanding horizons, the world brand has an Indian woman who gave birth to twins with 70 years, a Spaniard who was a mother at 67 and a Romanian at 66.
Are these ages suitable for having children?
I do not ask from the more medical side, where it has been repeatedly expressed that the risks of mortality or complications are higher than in younger mothers, but from a more practical and / or ethical point of view.
A 59-year-old woman now has 3 children, if I, who could be her son, saturate myself just thinking about taking care of 3 babies, I don't want to imagine how she will take her.
When these children are 7 years old, this lady will have 66 ... And when they are 11 she will be 70.
The truth, I don't see it ...
Upgrade: A few days ago we talked about this same case in Babies and more. You can see the post of September 5 that expands the information here.
