A 67-year-old woman has given birth in China, making her the country’s oldest mother to have a natural birth.

The woman, named Tian, delivered a healthy girl through Caesarean section.

Tian’s 68-year-old husband, surnamed Huang, told newsmen the Baby is a gift from heaven. The new baby girl is called “Tianci”, meaning “gift from heaven”.

Tian already has two children, including a son born in 1977, two years before China imposed a one-child policy to control its bulging population.

Reports of the birth drew criticism on China’s Twitter-like platform.  Some described the parents as too selfish while others said, at their advanced age they have no ability to take care of a Child and the pressure will be on the older siblings. Others wondered if Tian and Huang would be penalised for having more than the current allowance of two children.
