Sixty-year-old mother of twins feels 'fantastic'

The 60-year-old American woman who last week gave birth to twins, returned home with the babies today, saying she feels “fantastic”.

Frieda Birnbaum, who conceived with the help of an in-vitro fertilisation clinic in South Africa, had the boys, Josh and Jaret, at Hackensack University Medical Centre. The US hospital said she was the oldest American woman to give birth to twins.
