A birth that is extraordinary in Uganda. A 70-year-old woman, already nicknamed “Wonder Woman,” gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. In fact, the birth is a miracle due to the circumstances associated with the age of the new mother.
Safina Namukwaya gave birth in the capital, Kampala, where the woman underwent fertility treatment. “It is an extraordinary achievement to give the oldest mother in Africa twins,” commented the woman’s doctor, Dr. Edward Tamale Sali.
The story of pregnancy at an advanced age began some time ago, exactly three years ago, when Safina, who had never had children before, had already given birth to a child, which aroused criticism and curiosity from those who considered nonfertility abnormal keep a daughter. However, in the last few hours he has made an encore.
“I cannot express my joy at the moment,” said the woman, who lives in the rural area of Masaka, about 120 kilometers west of Kampala. “At 70, you are considered incapable of becoming pregnant and bearing a child or caring for a child. Here is the miracle of the twins,” she said happily.
