A 62-year-old woman from the Chinese city of Xiangtan, Hunan Province, gave birth to a healthy son despite the fact she had many diseases.

According to AsiaOne, the woman surnamed Tan gave birth to a 2.95 kilogram baby boy using cesarean section. Now both the mother and the child are doing well.

Tanya decided on a late pregnancy six years ago when her 31-year-old son died. Together with her husband, they went to the clinic for reproductive health, and after the in vitro fertilization procedure, Tan became pregnant.

Pregnancy proceeded with complications. In late October, Tan was hospitalized due to frequent abdominal pain. During the examination, she revealed a long list of diseases, including gestational diabetes, polyhydramnios and heart problems. But, despite all the difficulties, she endured and gave birth to a healthy child. Photo: Unsplash
