Triplets at 52, without fertility drugs

(23/2/2003) A grandmother of 52 has given birth to triplets without having fertility treatment.

Antonietta Mellone, who already has three grown-up children, gave birth to two girls and a boy seven weeks early in a Naples clinic.

Last night the babies, Gabriele, Alessia and Nunzia, were all in incubators at a special care baby unit. Their weights ranged between two and nearly four pounds.
