When asked what she had to say to women of her age, she said:
"Don't get a dog, get a baby."
Frieda Birnbaum gave birth to "Baby A" at 12:44 p.m. and "Baby B" a minute later by Caesarean section at Hackensack University Medical Center.
Birnbaum, a psychologist from Saddle River, underwent in-vitro fertilization last year in Cape Town, South Africa, at a center that specializes in older women. She and her husband, Ken, a New York attorney, have been married for 38 years and have three other children - sons ages 6 and 33 and a daughter, 29.
According to Mrs.Birnbaum age is redefined all the time:
"Age is being redefined all the time," the mother, Frieda Birnbaum, told a television reporter attending the birth.
"I don't feel like 60."
Her daughter (aged 29) apparently thinks her mother is crazy:
"My daughter feels I should be living in Florida having a good life," Birnbaum told Fox News after the birth. "I hope when she's older, she'll see this and understand she has choices. I don't feel like I'm 60."
Hospital officials believe Birnbaum may be the oldest woman to give birth to twins in the United States.
Goodluck to the mother and her newborns.
