An Italian woman has become the country's oldest new mother at the age of 63, after giving birth to a healthy baby boy following fertility treatment in Ukraine. "She arranged everything independently and I was only informed afterward," he said about the new mother, whom he also described as 'a stubborn woman.' On top of having to undergo fertility treatment in Ukraine during a time when war was ravaging the nation, Flavia's treatment alone cost €15,000. The record for Italy's oldest new mother was previously held by Italian singer Gianna Nannini for only 14 years, after she gave birth to her daughter Penelope at the age of 56. However, Flavia is still not close in age to the current record holder, Indian woman Erramatti Mangamma, who gave birth to twin girls at the age of 73 in 2019.
