A 59-year-old American is believed to have become the oldest woman in the world to give birth to twins.Lauren Cohen's babies Gregory and Giselle were conceived using donor eggs, the New York Post reported.
Lauren Cohen and husband Frank Garcia's babies, Gregory and Giselle, were successfully delivered by Caesarean section despite life-threatening complications, according to the New York Post.
They were conceived by IVF using a donor egg. The couple, from Paramus, New Jersey, already have an 18-month-old daughter, Raquel, who was conceived in the same way.
Mrs Cohen lost 33 pints of blood during the delivery, during which she had to have an emergency hysterectomy, as doctors at New York-Presbyterian Hospital battled to save her and the twins' lives.
She told the newspaper: "I'm happy. I come out healthy, and the two babies came out healthy."
Mrs Cohen, who turns 60 on August 11, also has a 27-year-old daughter, Renee, from her first marriage.
The oldest woman in the world to give birth is thought to be Adriana Iliescu, from Romania, who gave birth to a daughter last year at the age of 66.
