A 68-year-old Nigerian woman and her 70-year-old husband are celebrating after she gave birth to twins after 43 years of trying.
Margarett Adenuga gave birth to the children - a boy and a girl - by cesarean at a hospital in Lagos on April 14, and is reported to be doing well.
Husband Noah, 70, revealed that she fell pregnant last year via IVF after three previous rounds of treatment failed.
He told Nigeria's TVC News that the couple were inspired to keep going by a dream he had in 1996 that told him he would be 'known across the world.'
Lagos University Teaching Hospital said the IVF treatment was carried out elsewhere and the couple were only referred to them for treatment afterwards.
Medics continued to monitor her throughout the pregnancy, until she opted to undergo surgery at 37 weeks.
The hospital said it was the first case of pregnancy in a woman of her age they had dealt with.
Attending physician Dr Adeyemi Okunowo called the birth "a miracle" but added that the couple took a huge risk going ahead with the pregnancy.
