Pregnant 70-year-old Set to Become the World’s Oldest Mother
A 70-year-old woman reportedly six months pregnant with her eighth child will apparently become the oldest mother in history if she gives birth.
Maria de la Luz has shown reporters ultrasound scans which she says confirm she is six months pregnant with a baby girl,Mailonline reports.
De la Luz, who did not reveal any details of the pregnancy including whether she had had IVF treatment or other similar procedures, said she first suspected she was pregnant three months ago. ‘My legs hurt and I was vomiting and felt dizzy. Now they have done around 10 ultrasounds in a private clinic and in the (public) social security hospital. The doctors could not believe it,’ she told reporters.
If the baby girl is born, it will make De la Luz four years older than the current record holder, Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara.
