According to Chinese media such as Jimu News, a 60-year-old pregnant woman gave birth to her son by cesarean section at People's Hospital in Jinan City, Shandong Province on the morning of the 20th.
The elderly pregnant woman had symptoms of gestational hypertension, but she succeeded in giving birth after 50 minutes of surgery.
The hospital explained that it was the oldest childbirth since the establishment of the People's Hospital in the city.
What's also surprising is that she had a second child with a natural pregnancy. The husband is 55 years old and the couple has a 34-year-old daughter.
Natural pregnancy cases are extremely rare in old age.
An obstetrician explained that "a woman needs two physiological conditions for pregnancy, one having an ovary capable of producing healthy eggs, and the other having a healthy uterus capable of producing fetuses.""
Considering that the average menopause age of Chinese women is 49.5, women in their 50s and 60s are almost impossible to conceive and give birth.
Some women in their 50s sometimes become pregnant thanks to advances in reproductive medicine such as embryo transfer, hormone therapy, artificial insemination and other technologies, but natural pregnancy like A is hard to find.
Medical staff said "Unique Natural Pregnancy Cases"More research on aged pregnancy seems necessary"
Meanwhile, in China, a 67-year-old woman in Jiaozhuang, Shandong Province, gave birth to a daughter by cesarean section in October 2019, setting a record for the oldest birth in China. World records show that a 70-year-old Indian woman gave birth to her first son after 45 years of marriage in 2021, but the world's oldest mother officially listed in the Guinness Book of Records was Spain's Maria del Carmen Busada Lara, who gave birth to twins naturally at the age of 66 in 2016.
