Elderly Woman, 94, Gives Birth To Healthy Baby Girl
94-year-old Margaret Holmwood from Burnsville,Â West Virginia gave a birth to a healthy baby girl yesterday morning, and both mother and baby are reportedly doing fine. The baby, named Mary,Â weighed 6 pounds 2 ounces.Margaret Holmwood already has two previous children.Â Her first, Jeremy Halmwood, is now 62 years old, and her daughter, Jennifer, is 71. Reporters reached out toÂ Jeremy to discuss how he felt about having a new sibling who is over 60 years younger than he is.âWell, itâs a little bit strange, I admit, but my mother has always been an unconventional woman. She divorced my father and married a man 48Â years younger her junior,â said Jeremy Halmwood. âThree years ago, she climbed Mount Everest. She dances cha-cha at at a local dance studio every other day. Iâm not so very surprised. At least my grandchildren will have some company to play with.âDoctors from St. Maryâs Medical Center are impressed with Hollwoodâs strength and young spirit. âMrs. Holmwood has lived a very healthy lifestyle. Even though she is 94, she has the body of a 40-year-old. The birth was simple, we encountered no difficulties. Itâs incredible,â says Dr. Patrick Collins.Holmwood is interested in Eastern philosophy. She practices yoga and tai chi, eats only organic vegetables and lots of rice. She claims this is the way to stay young and fit for many, many years. âIn my free time, I dance, climb, cook vegan delights. I donât sit in front of TV with a bag of chips. I feel full of energy, and I am ready to raise Mary now,â says Margaret. âThey will certainly keep me young. I only hope these olâ teats will still deliver. God knows that no baby likes powdered milk!âAccording to the doctors, Holmwood is a proof that people could live longer and age slower.âSheâs a miracle of modern health and science,â said Dr. Collins. âI only hope that when Iâm 94, Iâm half as energetic as Margaret.â
