A “record” birth, as it was defined Sebastiana baby born at 31 weeks and 4 days last June 3 at the Versilia hospital in Tuscany.
The adjective was deserved due to the age of the mother, Flavia Alvarowhich will take place on October 24th 64 years old and who, with the birth of her 2kg baby, became the “oldest” mother in Italy. In vitro fertilization, carried out in Kiev, made the pregnancy possible.
“I’m too happy”, were the words of the new mother from her hospital bed, where she is monitored by her gynecologist Andrea Marsili, who performed an emergency caesarean section last Monday, following the increase in blood pressure. blood pressure.
Flavia Alvaro’s motherhood will certainly cause discussion, as has already happened in the past with respect to so-called “over” mothers, often accused of selfishness for choosing to have a child at a late age, and will certainly reopen the debate on elderly first-time mothers, a term that today seems in any case, it has been set aside or, at least, used without the derogatory connotation that characterized it until some time ago.
The sixty-three-year-old had long cultivated the desire to be a mother and, thanks to Doctor Marsili, but also to his wife, Isabella, to the nurse Claudio and to the handyman Fernando, who in the last ten years have represented a real family for her, today that desire is reality. And little Sebastian also has a ninety-three-year-old grandmother waiting for him at home.
Flavia Alvaro’s was “A peaceful pregnancy” as the doctor explained, lived with serenity. “Of course, I was worried, at first in disbelief, I even teased her good-naturedly, but Flavia got involved, she wanted this child very badly and flew to Ukraine twice”.
The first attempt, unfortunately, ended with a miscarriage at the fourteenth week; the second, however, brought her Sebastian, with whom she will soon leave Versilia.
