A 68-year-old woman in Nigeria gives birth to twins

A Nigerian mother at the age of 68 has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Margaret Adenuga had three 'in vitro' fertilization procedures before this birth.

Her husband Noah Adenuga, 77 years old, told CNN that they were married in 1974 and the desire to have a child is eternal. He also said that they have never given up, even after failed attempts.

"I am a dreamer, and I was convinced that this dream of ours will come true," he said.

The children were born prematurely when Margaret was 37 weeks and had a caesarean section last Tuesday but The Lagos University Teaching Hospital has made this public now so that the mother has time to recover. , reports Koha.
