Britain's oldest mum

A 62-year-old has become the oldest British woman to give birth after delivering a healthy baby boy.

Child psychologist Patti Farrant - known professionally as Patricia Rashbrook - delivered her son "J.J." by caesarean section on Wednesday.

The baby was conceived after fertility treatments.

Farrant has three grown children from a previous marriage. It is the first child with her current husband, John Farrant, 60, an education management consultant.

"He is adorable, and seeing him for the first time was beyond words," she was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. "Having been through so much to have him, we are overjoyed. His birth was absolutely wonderful and deeply moving for both of us."

I know life expectancy is getting longer , and people having kids at a later age , but 62 is daft I admit, she & her hubby would have better off adopting instead of wasting all that money on IVF
