In Uganda, a 70-year-old woman, Safina Namukwaya, gave birth to a baby with a phoenix, setting a new record for the oldest woman in Africa. With a sense of great joy, she regarded the birth as a miracle, even though she had only added life to her eldest daughter three years earlier. After receiving IVF**, she went through an even more difficult pregnancy journey than before, and finally welcomed the baby twins.
According to Business Insider, the resilient mother welcomed her newborn by caesarean section at the Women's Hospital International & Fertility Centre in Kampala. The hospital says this is not just a triumph for the medical field, but also a model of human spiritual strength and resilience.
In an interview, Safina shared her unfortunate experience and struggle, having suffered a miscarriage when she was young, and after losing her first husband, it took four years to meet her current partner. However, after years of hard work, she has never succeeded in getting pregnant, and has even been ridiculed and hurt. Until not long ago, through IVF**, she finally gave birth to her eldest daughter in 2020.
However, the pregnancy not only came with many challenges and complications, but also caused her husband to leave out of fear. Safina didn't give up, she survived tenaciously, and although she was alone, she gained a new lease of life. It is unclear whether the twins are derived from eggs that Safina had frozen and preserved when she was young, or eggs donated by others.
This story not only tells us about the miracle of life and the advancement of medicine, but also shows the infinite courage and love of motherhood. In the face of life's many trials, Safina Namukwaya embodies the resilience of countless mothers who choose to preserve and cherish life despite difficult circumstances.
