Most people will have heard the saying about busses; you wait ages for one and then two come along at once.<\/p>\n
However, I didn't realise it is also applicable to children, as a 61-year-old has just given birth to twins after trying to have a baby for more than 30 years.<\/p>\n
Antonia Asti used eggs that had been frozen ten years ago to fall pregnant with her husband, 55-year-old Jose.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Brazil's Globo G1 website, Ms Asti said: "All I ever wanted to be is a mother and now my dream has finally come true. I fought for this for so long. I never for one moment thought about giving up."<\/p>\n
The twins were delivered by cesarean at 31 weeks and will be monitored in hospital until they are healthy enough to go home.<\/p>\n
It's an amazing story and just goes to show you what is possible if people keep believing, however I'm sure Ms Asti will be the oldest mum at the school ground.<\/p>\n
