“This is an exceptional case not only for the region, but also for Spain,” a translated statement from the hospital said. “Few women older than 58 have managed to successfully complete pregnancies with twins.”

However, this was not her first delivery at the Hospital Recoletas Burgos.

Six years ago, the woman delivered her first child at the age of 58.
