A 59-year-old New Jersey woman who gave birth to twins says it wasn’t a big deal for her, but wouldn’t recommend it for most women.
Lauren Cohen, who turns 60 on Aug. 11, used in vitro fertilization and gave birth by Caesarean section to a girl and boy six weeks premature in New York on May 22.
Despite having numerous complications, she told the Bergen (N.J) Record she considered the twins and a daughter, born 18 months earlier also by in vitro, “a miracle.”
However, she said other women considering late pregnancies should be in similar circumstances as she is before trying the same.
