A 67-year-old Spanish woman became the world's oldest new mother on Saturday when she gave birth to twins, a Barcelona hospital said.

The woman, who became pregnant after receiving IVF treatment in Latin America, gave birth by caesarean section, a spokeswoman at Hospital de la Santa Creu i San Pau told Reuters.

 

Both the woman, from the southern Spanish region of Andalucia, and her babies were in good health the hospital said, though she added doctors had put the babies in an incubator.

The unnamed woman who was giving birth for the first time is one year older than Romanian Adriana Iliescu who had a baby girl in January aged 66. She had been pregnant with twins but one died in the womb.

The hospital said it would not disclose the woman's name or the sex of the babies to respect patient confidentiality.
