Automatically saved design
A 63-year-old Italian woman has given birth to a boy. The woman from the Tuscan town of Viareggio had herself artificially inseminated in Kiev, reported the daily newspaper "La Stampa" on Thursday.
There are no age limits for artificial insemination in Ukraine. The boy was born in the 31st week of pregnancy and weighed two kilograms at birth. Mother and child are doing well and the woman does not have a partner, according to reports.
"Happy that she has realized her dream"
"I tried everything I could to dissuade her, but she was absolutely adamant," reported gynecologist Andrea Marsili, who assisted with the birth. "It takes a bit of madness to implement such a plan, but we are very happy that she realized her dream," said the doctor.
In 2018, an Italian woman aged 62 gave birth to a baby girl in Rome. The 3.2-kilogram baby girl was born by caesarean section. The mother, a nurse without a partner, had undergone artificial insemination treatment in Albania. In 2016, a 61-year-old Italian woman gave birth to a boy in Caserta in southern Italy.
Declining birth rate in Italy
The birth rate in Italy has been declining for years. With an average number of children of 1.3 per woman, the country is one of the worst performers in Europe. However, more and more Italian women over the age of 40 are having children.
