A 58 year old mother Carole Hobson from Kent had IVF treatment which led to her giving birth to twins. Matthew and Freida were born by emergency Caesarean on Christmas Eve making Carole one of the oldest mothers of twins in the country. The twins each weighed 3lb 3oz when they were born nine weeks prematurely at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. Carole said the babies were conceived after she travelled to India for a fifth course of IVF treatment. Mother and babies are doing very well.
