Another page of the world’s historical book has been opened as a 67-year-old Chinese woman becomes the world’s oldest mother to conceive naturally after giving birth to baby girl.
Zaoatzhuang city’s Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital confirmed that the woman identified as Tian delivered a healthy girl through Caesarean section on Friday, October 25.
The hospital disclosed that they could not confirm if the woman, Tian had conceived naturally because they took her as a patient with her pregnancy.
68-year-old husband of the new mother, Huang told Chinese news site guancha.cn that child was bestowed on the two of us by heaven. Tian’s daughter reportedly weighed 2,560 grams (5.6 pounds) at birth.
According to Jinan Times, she only discovered that she was pregnant when she went to the hospital for a health check, telling the newspaper: ‘I didn’t want it, initially.’
The Chinese newspaper reported that Tian already had two children, including a son born in 1977, two years before China imposed a one-child policy to control its burgeoning population.
