Mother of twins, 60, says she did it for women

A PSYCHOLOGIST in Hackensack, New Jersey who gave birth to twin boys at age 60 said yesterday she was on a mission to let women know they have choices.

“It’s really about women and empowerment,” Frieda Birnbaum told NBC’s Today show in the US.

Birnbaum, who underwent in-vitro fertilisation last year at a South African clinic that specialises in older women, gave birth by Caesarean section on Tuesday at Hackensack University Medical Centre.
