World's Oldest Twins Mum At 59

Her name is called Lauren Cohen and to be 60 on the coming August 11. Her twins babies were conceived by receiving donor eggs and later not naturally delivered at New York-Presbyterian Hospital while causing some emergency to their mom!

Mrs Cohen lost 33 pints of blood during the delivery, during which she had to have an emergency hysterectomy.

She had suffered two potentially life-threatening conditions during pregnancy - placenta previa, where the placenta is wedged against the cervix, and placenta percreta, in which the placenta grows through the uterus.

Doctors admitted her to hospital in March to keep an eye on her condition.

A Caesarean was planned for May 24, about six weeks before the twins were due.

But two days before then, the placenta broke through the wall of Mrs Cohen's uterus and doctors decided to operate.

Anyway, She fulfilled her 20 years junior husband's dream to have baby twins!Link
