Many of these women were desperate to have children. A few others, had more complicated reasons, such as carrying on the family lineage. Every one of them defended themselves until the end, maintaining that they were not selfish people.
But to sum it all up, clinics can now transfer sperm, eggs, and embryos into pre-selected bodies, thus stimulating pregnancy for qualifying applicants. In Vitro Fertilization combines the latter and hormonal drug therapy, in which a woman injects herself with hormones several times a day.
The likelihood of a woman conceiving a healthy baby after the age of 42 is low. A woman’s eggs lower in quality after her 40th birthday. And most responsible private fertility clinics will not treat woman over the age of 50. So a lot of the women on this list became pregnant from straight up dishonesty and law-breaking.
Pregnancy complications increase as the mother’s age increases. Risks include diabetes and seizures, red blood cell breakdown, low blood platelet count, ompaired liver, fluid in the lungs, cancer, and visual disturbances. Also miscarriages, stillbirths, premature births, and low birth weights. Plus, the children have a greater chance of being an orphan before they reach high school.
11. Lauren Cohen – 58 Year Old Gives Birth To Twins
She was already the mother of a 26-year-old daughter, Renee. A working professional lawyer – and married. But in December 2004, Lauren Cohen gave birth to a daughter, Raquel. At the time, she was 58 years old. But here’s the kicker: she gave birth to twins, Gregory and Giselle, again in May 2006!
She used the embryos from her first IVF treatment in 2004. Instead of giving them away or destroying them, she and her husband decided to have more kids. At the time of the twin’s birth, Lauren was one month away from being 60 years old!
The reason she decided to have kids at 60 years old? Because her husband, Frank Garcia, was 20 years her junior. She wanted him to have a family. “I knew it would make him happy […] I didn’t want him to be alone,” she said. Addressing what would happen if she died first.
Lauren takes up to one hundred pills a day. She also takes yoga, pilates, and fitness classes. Her eldest daughter, Renee, lives in disgust. Because of her mother’s decision, she has vowed never to set foot in Lauren’s home again.
