Woman, 55, gives birth to triplet grandchildren

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Friday, November 15, 2019 | 0 comments

A 55-year-old woman who gave birth to triplets for a daughter who was medically unable to conceive said Wednesday she was a caring incubator and was awe-struck when she learned she was carrying three children.

Tina Cade delivered her own grandchildren — two boys and a girl — by Caesarean section Tuesday at Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital.

She served as a surrogate for her oldest daughter, Camille Hammond, and Hammond's husband, Jason.

She told NBC’s “Today” that she was awe-struck — I could not believe it when the doctor told her there would be triplets.

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.
