66yr old woman gives birth to triplets!!!

Oo, my 89 year old grandma looks younger than her :eek:.

Hope for the kids sake, that the mother will live up to at least 90...
 
I am not saying this is right, but to say the poor babies growing up without mothers is a silly thing to say IMO.

It makes no difference if a mother is healthy and dies or old and dies the end reuslt is the same. :rolleyes:

Ok.

But 99.99% of them don't start life with a 66 year old mum that will most probably be dead by the time they can talk to her properly.

.... and the morning troll. ;)

How dare you, I'm not being the morning troll. :p

I just thought it silly saying she could be dead in three years leaving the babies to grow up without a mother.

I'm not disputing this is wrong on many levels but that comment just seemed silly to me. Many babies grow up without mothers due to death at birth etc.

It's just sad, tbh. Whoever took part in the IVF is just chasing records :(

1) I don't think a body which is at such an advanced age is a healthy environment for gestation.
2) Indeed, she is likely to be very ill or dead before the kids are independent.
3) IVF often produces these multiple births as several embryos are implanted to increase likelihood of success - but they're already in a less-than-ideal environment, for goodness sake at least don't make them share it..
4) At that age if you want a child please just adopt/foster one of the many unwanted children instead of adding more unhealthy ones...

I know mothering instinct can be huge (I've yet to feel broody) but really... The story makes me sad :(
