56-year-old gives birth to twins

A newborn brother and sister were nestled in a New York hospital bed with their 56-year-old mother today, a day after their history-making arrival.

“They have each found their little spot under an arm,” said Art Cohan, a close friend who was in the delivery room at Mount Sinai Medical Centre yesterday when Aleta St James gave birth to the twins by Caesarean section.
