Taipei, March 7 (CNA) A 62-year-old woman has given birth naturally without the need for a Caesarean (c-section) and set a record in the process.

She delivered her baby at the end of February, tying the record for the oldest woman ever to give birth in Taiwan, according to records kept by National Taiwan University Hospital.
