According to Canadian national media, a 60-year-old mother gave birth to twin sons after undergoing reproductive procedures.

According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Ranjit Hayer became a mother for the first time on Tuesday at Calgary’s Foothills Hospital.

According to the Canadian Press, the Calgary Health Region confirmed the birth of a 60-year-old lady.

Hayer told the CBC from her hospital bed that she had tried for decades to conceive naturally and with medical assistance and eventually traveled to India for fertility procedures.

According to the broadcaster, she became pregnant with triplets, but one had to be terminated due to medical issues.

Giving birth at that age is unusual but not unprecedented. Frieda Birnbaum, 60, of Saddle River, New Jersey, had twin sons after undergoing in-vitro fertilization fewer than two years before Hayer.

‘Mischief’

Nonetheless, Hayer’s obstetrician, Colin Birch, told CBC that he was initially skeptical.

“I felt it was a joke since the referral read 60-year-old patient with triplets, and I thought one of my colleagues or somebody was just playing jokes on me or up to no good, and then the patient showed up in my clinic,” Birch remembered.
