The category of women "the oldest mothers in the world" a few years ago was replenished by 66-year-old Adriana Iliescu (a resident of Romania), having given birth to a daughter. Of course, the child was conceived in an unnatural way (in vitro), but the girl was born he althy. And at the age of five, he is already making some progress. Today, a 72-year-old retired teacher at a local university wants to give birth to a son as well. It is clear that the second baby will also be conceived “in vitro”. The oldest mother in the world hopes that in fifteen years her children will take care and look after her.
However, it is safe to say that Adriana Iliescu is not alone in her desires. So, Maria Carmen del Busada, 66 years old (Barcelona), who even gave birth to twins, can also be classified as “the oldest mother in the world”. However, in this case, things leave much to be desired, since this woman died a year later, leaving the kids to relatives. But for a long time she dreamed of her own children. In order to get pregnant, a woman collected the necessary amount for several yearsmoney, limiting yourself in many ways. Moreover, Carmen's desire to become a mother was so strong that she cheated when filling out the questionnaire and indicated 55 in the “age” column (although she was already 66 at that time). And the doctors did not have any suspicions about this, due to the fact that the Spaniard looked younger than her years.
The procedure was completed successfully, and nine months later, the 67-year-old woman, already at that time, had two babies - the boys Christian and Pau. An elderly mother dared such an act and should have aroused the admiration of the public. However, there were people who condemned the woman's act, called it selfish and irresponsible. And time has proven them right. Less than a year after the birth of the babies, Carmen's doctors made 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 was also 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 in 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 Chernihiv. Valentina also gave birth to her first child at the age of 66. Her record was noted in the Book of Records of Ukraine. Her story is also quite interesting. For the first time, Valentina wanted to give birth at the age of 63, but three artificial inseminations were unsuccessful. And only at the age of 65 shewas able to get pregnant. Before all this, she had to go through a rather difficult path of processing the necessary documents. Only thanks to the availability of certificates, the Ministry of He alth of Ukraine gave permission for artificial insemination at that age. It is necessary to take into account the high cost of this procedure. For this, Valentina had to save all her money for a long time, trade in the market and eat even one potato. However, today a Ukrainian woman is not going to save money on her daughter and buys her all the best.
Thus, the oldest mothers in the world gave birth to their first children at the age of about 66 and were only able to conceive using artificial insemination techniques.
