Wiilo Posted January 16, 2005 Romanian Woman, 66, Said to Be World's Oldest Mom Sun Jan 16, 1:22 PM ET BUCHAREST, Romania (Reuters) - A 66-year-old Romanian woman gave birth to a baby girl Sunday after years of fertility treatment and was claimed by Romanian media to be the world's oldest mother ever. Adriana Iliescu, a university professor and author of children's books, had been pregnant with twin girls. One died in the womb and doctors decided to perform a cesarean section in the 33rd week of pregnancy to save the other. "We wanted to wait until the 34th week of pregnancy, when the children's lungs would have reached full maturity, but we noticed Saturday that the heart of one of the little girls had stopped beating," Dr. Bogdan Marinescu, chief of the Giulesti maternity hospital in Bucharest, told a news conference. "We decided to proceed with the operation to save the second girl," Marinescu added. Marinescu said both the mother and the child, who weighs 3.1 pounds and whose name is Eliza-Maria, were in stable condition but the little girl would have to spend up to six weeks in hospital to reach two kg in weight. Iliescu, who will be 67 in May, became pregnant via in vitro fertilization and doctors said this was her third attempt at carrying a pregnancy to term. He said the eggs and sperm used had come from "healthy young people." "From a biological point of view, Ms Iliescu proved that she can carry a pregnancy to the end," Marinescu said. "We managed to solve a case which made us all very nervous." Two years ago, a 65 year-old retired schoolteacher in India gave birth to a baby boy.

Alle-ubaahne Posted January 17, 2005 I heard this story, but it become untrue according to New York Times, once after her family members come to the press by saying it was all haux. Some journalists and many of the western press had swiftly took the story to every corner in the world by exagerating and overrating it. Wiilo, did you hear that as well, abaayo?

Alle-ubaahne Posted January 17, 2005 Well, may be I am wrong. or there are two stories in the media that are running parallel to each other and that is a confusion enough. But am sure I saw the story being rejected by the family of the 63yrs woman, saying it was all fabrications by the press. Been fakatay run ma gaarto ma maqashay!

Senora Posted January 18, 2005 The case Alle-Ubaahne is talking abt is the lady in Georgia who was 59 I believe claiming she was pregnant with twins. She even fooled her family memebers. Well, when due time came I guess she fessed up, and members of her family spoke to the press about it all being a hoax. Y'all never know how long this lady might live....We're not in kindergarten people, :rolleyes: a younger parent isn't guaranteed a healthy and long life either.
