Maria said some of her seven children were not happy about the news of her pregnancy. They said she was too old for this. Maria said her next appointment with the obstetrician was on July 18. She also hoped to have the baby by caesarean section because her age would prevent her from having a vaginal birth.
The world's oldest woman to give birth is Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara of Spain, who gave birth to twin boys Chritian and Pau in December 2006 at the age of nearly 67. Both were delivered by cesarean section before their due date and each weighed 1.6 kg.Bousada de Lara admitted to lying to doctors about her real age when she went to a hospital in California, USA, to undergo artificial insemination.
