Oldest mom had two abortions

2005-01-23 21:47

London - A 67-year-old Romanian woman who last week became the oldest known person to give birth has said she had two abortions in her early twenties.

Adriana Iliescu told The Sunday Telegraph that she became pregnant twice during a failed four-year marriage and both times had an abortion.

"It was the normal thing back then and the accepted form of contraception," she said.

"If there is anything I regret then it is those terminations."

Iliescu, a retired university professor who had received fertility drugs for nine years before succeeding in becoming pregnant nine months ago, gave birth five weeks early to twin girls on January 16.

Only one survived, however, weighing one and a half kilos.

Iliescu broke the record held by an Italian woman, who gave birth to a boy at the age of 62. Doctors had implanted the egg of a young Italian woman which had been fertilized by her husband's sperm.
