November 7, 2010 - A 57-YEAR-OLD woman, believed to be the oldest mother to give birth in Australia, has delivered IVF twins.

The Sunday Herald Sun can reveal the woman gave birth by Cesarean section on Monday at King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth.

The case is believed to have set an Australian record.

Sources said the woman, who is believed to be from India, had IVF treatment with donated eggs in India before delivering twins in Perth this week.

She is understood to have spent the duration of her pregnancy in WA and was accompanied by a man, believed to be her husband.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost our precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted there will be no more babies in our house.
