The oldest mothers in the world: statistics speak about their venerable age

The category of women "the oldest mothers in the world" was added by Adriana Iliescu, 66, a Romanian woman, a few years ago, having given birth to a daughter. Of course, the child was conceived in an unnatural manner (in vitro), but the girl was born healthy. And in his five years has already been making some progress. Today, a 72-year-old retired teacher at a local university wants to have a son. It is clear that the second baby will also be conceived "in vitro". The oldest mother in the world hopes that in about fifteen years her children will take care of and take care of her.

However, we can confidently say that Adriana Iliescu is not alone in her desires. So, to the category "the oldest mothers in the world" can be attributed and Maria Carmen del Busada, 66 years of age (Barcelona), which gave birth to even twins. However, in this case, the situation leaves much to be desired, since this woman died one year later, leaving the children to relatives. But she dreamed of her own children for a long time. In order to become pregnant, a woman for several years collected the necessary amount of money, limiting herself in many ways. Moreover, Carmen's desire to become a mother was so strong that she cheated on filling out the questionnaire and indicated in the column "age" 55 (although she was already at that time 66). And the doctors did not have any suspicions about this, thanks to the fact that the Spaniard looked younger than her years.

The procedure was successful, and nine months later, at the time of the 67-year-old woman, at the time, two babies appeared - the boys Christian and Pau. Mature mother dared to do such an act and should have caused admiration of the public. However, there were people who condemned the act of a woman, called him selfish and irresponsible. And time showed them right. Less than a year after the birth of the Carmen babies, doctors diagnosed a terrible diagnosis (cancer) with which she lived for less than 12 months.

The category "the oldest mothers in the world" of the Guinness Book of Records has also been replenished by women from India. So, in 2003, the birth of a boy was registered in a 65-year-old Indian woman, and in 2008 - the appearance of a daughter from her 70-year-old compatriot.

We must not forget that there are similar cases in the CIS countries. For example, the oldest mother in Ukraine is registered in Chernigov. Valentina gave birth to her first child at 66 years old. Its record was noted in the Book of Records of Ukraine. Its history is also quite interesting. For the first time Valentine wanted to give birth back in 63, but three artificial inseminations were unsuccessful. And only at 65 years old she was able to conceive. Before all this, she had to go through a rather difficult way of drafting the necessary documents. Only thanks to the availability of certificates the Ministry of Health of Ukraine gave permission for artificial insemination at that age. It is necessary to take into account the high cost of this procedure. Valentine for this had to put off all his means for a long time, trade in the market and eat even one potato. However, today the Ukrainian woman does not intend to save on her daughter and buys her the best.

Thus, the oldest mothers in the world gave birth to their firstborn at the age of 66 and could only become pregnant using the methods of artificial insemination.
