1 min read
The Spanish mother of two who has gotten pregnant with her third child attributes her pregnancy a miracle. She is expecting her new baby girl in October.
Doctor Lina Alvarez, from Lugo in North West Spain, says she started the menopause 20 years ago but is now expecting her third child after undergoing fertility treatment.
Ms Alvarez has two sons. The eldest is now 27-years-old. He suffered a head injury before birth when a gynaecologist damaged his head during a routine test and now requires constant care.
However, she found a gynaecologist who was willing to conduct tests and confirmed he was willing to help her.
Ms Alvarez’s pregnancy has sparked debate in Spain over the ethics of the decision to implant an embryo in someone her age.
But she told reporters she does not let it bother her.
